    Re: Madden NFL 11 to Redefine Football with Simpler, Quicker and Deeper Experience

    I we'll have to wait and see how these features turn out, but thing I can't stand is the sheer arrogance. "Redefine Football"? Really? You're going to do that?

      Come on dude, thats the best part about him. He's like the complete opposite of Tom Hammond.

      Come to think of it Gus' lines will probably flow really well. It seems as though when he's announcing he says everything individually: "Manning........ in the shotgun......takes the snap...."

          Two thoughts:

          1. I don't have high hopes for any major changes to franchise mode. So long as they can tune it so glamour positions have somewhat believable stats I'll be reasonably happy. If they can't I promise to join the throngs throwing a nutty on this forum (I'm still pissed about how badly that final patch screwed up RBs).

          2. I don't know what their PR speak regarding the playbook means. Defensively, I'd like to see EA split it so I decide what my D-line is doing, then my linebackers, and then my secondary. The canned plays are a relic of the 90s IMO.

            How about marketing 101?

            Sounds like a marketing line to me.

              Really, I'd love if some how those things made it so we could finally create basically our own defenses on the fly. As the person above me said that instead of seeing the same thing over and over again you can get plays will be different on mostly every play. I could finally make my own scheme properly! I never had the patience to do the 3000 changes you would have to make in 10 to make your defense different. I would of done it but it's to rushed and annoying, hated getting caught in the middle of changing assignments.

                I agree that is sounds like the same ol Ea catch phrase. I'm just not confident that we will see a true football sim this generation.

                  Why do some people on here keep assuming madden crew is not focusing on franchise mode. Just because they have not mention nothing about franchise mode doesn't mean they have not worked on it this year. Every part of the game has a department working on it. Josh Looman works on Franchise mode. It ain't like Looman just gets up and walk away to another departmnet and work on something else. I'm sure Josh and his small crew is doing their best to focus on both offline and online franchise mode. We have 4 months until madden is released. Plenty of time for blogs. Don't worry so much. But overall it is nice to see them doing alot for madden this year. Can't wait until the trailer tonight.

                    Im interested to see how the new play books work. For me I highly doubt making play calling easier will cut down on game time at all.

                    Any news on Create-Your-Own play book? I think if they really want people to open up the play books then let us pick the plays in it. After that they need to tune the plays to make sure all routes have a chance of working. There are a lot of plays that look good on the play call screen but if you have a few hours of madden knowledge you know there is no way that route is ever going to be open.

                        Call plays like an NFL coach with ease using an all-new play-calling system, GameFlow, which executes an authentic, situational game plan for you.
                        The press release is very vague on Game Flow, so I am going to be even more vague. I will say that I like the idea a lot. I used Game Flow with the Patriots and after getting sacked on 1st down, game flow called a draw play just like the Patriots would. After gaining 7 yards and facing a 3rd and 7, Game Flow called a screen Pass to Kevin Faulk like the real Patriots would. Authentic and situational. I'll ask if there is anything else I can say and hope I didn't say too much already.

                          LOL, agreed. Josh is still pimping out the Madden Ultimate Team, when that is over, we'll see more from him on the Madden side of things.

                            I just feel sometime people around here try to over react because all the news is focus on other parts of the game right now. When I know there is still plenty of time for them to give us info. I know Josh got the franchise mode department in hand. He did a great job on it last year. I'm a franchsie nut. I'm sure Josh Looman is going to do everything he can to give fans the deepest franchise mode possible for fans to enjoy this coming year. But I wish people would stop going overboard and just wait a blog on franchise mode later on. But overall worrying ain't going help any. So best thing for fans is to enjoy the current news we are getting and go on and enjoy the draft coverage with the madden crew here in a few hours.

                              Worrying? No, just believing it when we see it. And what we're seeing right now is a bullet-point titled "Deeper" with the words "enhanced ONLINE functionality". Too bad "franchise" isn't in there.

                              Pointing out the fact that the word "franchise" isn't in the marketing right now isn't worrying, it's calling it like we see it, i.e., if they're not pimping franchise mode in their marketing text, then franchise ain't getting a lot of attention this year.

                              Notice that I didn't say franchise isn't getting ANY attention this year; just that if it isn't getting a lot of emphasis in the marketing plan, history shows it isn't getting a lot of emphasis period.

                              Their past performance hasn't earned my blind faith yet. If they have your blind faith, more power to you. But your faith is no more legitimate than other people's dubiousness, so live and let live.

                                Funny, a lot of these items comming out about Madden seem to have been taken from Backbreaker (analog controls, momentum, etc).

                                Funny what some competition can do! Too bad I have no interest until EA redoes the engine from scratch, as Madden is old tech now.
