Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer

Madden 11 scares me. I want to reserve judgement until I get to play the demo, but im not encouraged by this mantra to be speedup and simplify the game. Football is not meant to be played in 30 minutes unless you are playing in the arcade. I really have to question the focus this year. I want more emotion, authenticity and atmosphere between the whistles - not less. : (

It almost feels like they couldnt get it right so instead of improving the presentation, they decided to cut it out. Look at Madden 11's tagline - "its Simpler, Quicker and Deeper." Personally I liked the "Everything you see on Sunday" mantra they employed last year a lot better. Even if it wasnt pulled off.

Simpler - really? I hope they dont dumb it down too much. Quicker - really?? They just slowed it down last year to play more realistically. Deeper - really??? Isnt that the exact opposite of "Simpler"? Does anyone else sense the muddled focus here?

This is a definate wait and see for me.

Holy cow, did hell freeze over?? Did we really just get PS3 video in an EA trailer???

Awesome stuff. I gotta be honest too, I know some people might not like it, but the whole 30 min game thing is right up my alley. I don't have tons of free time, so if I can seriously get in a game of Madden in that amount of time without losing anything, I'm excited.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer

My biggest problem with Madden on the next gen is the way the players move. It just does not look realistic to me. They still look jerky and robotic. After seeing the Backbreaker Trailer and how beautifully smooth that game looks in motion, Madden may end up being a thing of the past for me. Have to wait until some franchise info comes out to see if Madden 11 will be worth the purchase. What I've seen so far, and that's not much has not peeked my interest yet.

The BackBreaker trailer makes this look so stupid lol...I'm really laughing over here...this is the first time that im passing on madden since like 95'

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer

lo I just read the 1st page and some people cant be pleased. Reggie Bush looked great. And (start herm edwards voice) HELLO (end herm edwards voice) it is still april.....they still are tuning the OL. The LOCO looked good to me. Some people expect way too much from a game. They can only show so much in a video you have to play the game

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer

We need a forum where people who like Madden can talk!

I like Madden and I really like madden 10. I was pretty excite by the running in the vid and I hope they continue to clean up LOS play. It's madden and madden always moved very conservative with their style of gameplay.

thats preview trailer and the 1st one? it looks and sounds like a god damm power point presentation...

hahahah felt like I was sitting in class lmao

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer

Mainly because there is 60 million + people out there that madden no matter what. It is really hard to convince that many people to stop buying madden because a few thousands people on a few websites are unhappy about the way the way madden is every year. That is the honest truth. We fans on the OS site make up a very small fraction of people who buy madden every year. It looks like the other 60+ millioon are happy no matter what.

You cant honestly think that Madden has EVER had 60+ million players. If you combined every Madden released since the early 90s, added in all the 2k , Gameday, Sports talk football, Bill Walsh, NFL Fever etc players...and added every game sold it would not even come remotely close to 60 million.

The Locomotion definitely looks good to me. It's visible in many players, I especially saw it in a few LBs perusing Reggie and also, in Reggie alone in his last run. The running moves, set up moves, and spins/jukes/cuts looks really good COMPARED to Madden 10. I think some are just nit picking because it is definitely an improvement of what so many people complained about. Sure it's not 'THERE' yet but I think for what most have been asking, it looks pretty good to be in the Alpha stage. I think it'll definitely change how we plan and make it a bit more fun. The 1 play system seems like it can be cool and since it seems it's an OPTION, I like the idea. I'm pretty impressed with the trailer based on root level improvements that seem to be done.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer

Honestly, I get a weird vibe from EA that they're trying to market Madden like Microsoft is marketing Windows 7.

"Make my PC simpler. I'm a PC and Windows 7 was my idea."


I think they've moved their target market to males perhaps 25-35, rather than 15-25 like it has mostly been years before.
I].

I mean, think of it this way. When has any diehard Madden fan every complained about games taking too long or anything? It's mostly been the casual guys who have more going on in their lives. Madden NFL 11, from what we have seen, has clearly bent over backwards to simply take Madden NFL 10 and turn it into a more social and casual experience rather than a sim experience.


I think EA should use this tagline in one of their Madden NFL 11 commercials (along the lines of the Windows 7 ads).

"I'm a husband - and Madden 11 was my idea."

hahaha-lol.....this is me...very funny

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer

Ok, are you all going to vacate the area now or what, lol? We get it, you dont like, you aint buying, nothing left for you here honestly.

I'm not suggesting anything to anyone that I wouldn't do myself. Example, I was amped for don kings prizefighter at one point in time. Frequented the official forums daily. Once I got a look at the game in motion and later got my hands on it, I was ghost from the prizefighter forums. There was nothing left for me there.

Simple. I spoke my piece on how the game wasn't my style, then I bounced never to return again. Sites for a specific game are pretty much sites for fans of the game. If you dont like the game, you state your opinions and that should be it. Whats the point in hanging around?

Not to mention, a couple of you all are probably on the verge of catching warnings or bans because you're tip toeing the line. If I see it, I know the mods see it. Speak you're piece and make haste out of the area.

I still love ya'll though, lol. All is well.

Ill bite on this.

We are here because if we wish to play a NFL football game, this is the only choice we have. Now, back in the 2k vs Madden days forum members would jump forums to talk trash about this or that when it wasnt necessary for either side to engage in such childishness. Fast forward to today and we are forced to play Madden if we want a NFL game.

Much to my dismay, Madden is the only hope any of us can cling to on a yearly basis to provide a decent playing football experience and after 5 years Im sick of the " maybe next years"


Right now you have pretty much all the video football fans funneled into the Madden forum, and its not by choice.

If we were to ever to return to the days of multiple NFL products released, then you would get you wish. Sure there would always be azzhats trolling one forum or another, but it would be to a much less degree.

I long for days where we all have solid football products to play, regardless of which game you like better.

Too many people think the majority of people are trolling or wanting Madden to fail, when the opposite is quite true. There are many of us that would love nothing more than to be able to play a solid product that isnt flawed in a million different directions.

What I wouldnt give to see not only a return of 2k football, but to see other companies like the Fever team and SCEA and its THE Show team etc to come out with a NFL football title and see where we go from there.

Im not sayin but im just sayin PEYTON MANNING IS ON THE FREAKIN SIDELINE IN THIS VIDEO. not ground breaking but pretty sweet

[cladyclad]

Watchin the video Still no illegal contact which 2k5 had. I mean damn I could kinda understand not having all the features of 2k. But to not have a penalty that is called at least 4 times a game is absurd. The physics are so bad. A wr running full speed bumps into a lb that is backing up. No one stumbles. No one falls. It kills me 2k added this soon as the rule came out and madden still does not have it.

[Bjones84]

This is Horrible, so dissapointed. I guess this is just a tease demo obviously before the game comes out.

at least it could've been a bit different then madden 10. i have a bad feeling about this game already!

i'm so tired of all the hype E.A promotes every year, it's such a freakin scheme to everyone.

it's sad and pathetic, but hey E.A is going to make their MILLIONS anyway!!!

Re: Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer

I did not like the look of that at all. Especially how easy that first pass was. No coverage in the flats yet again. And the score, it was like 100 point game.
Waht was with Reggie Bush taking the high short steps in the open field. Does that happen everytime you slow down.
