Re: Madden NFL 11 Video Preview (Xbox Live)

I know that BB is not going to meet those expectations either...but maybe, just maybe, it will have enough gameplay in it, enough "fun" and enough people playing online to make it a worthy effort at starting to fulfill the promise of video football's lost generation....

I didnt want to quote your whole post but it was a good read. The only thing I kinda disagree with is the BB negativity. All I see is FOOTBALL in the BB clips. Way more FOOTBALL then we have seen in years. I see no MADDEN ball in the BB clips and that is what I have been waiting for since APF.

As far as this Madden preview, all I can say is that is sure looks pretty. What I find very very very hilarious is that they show the scramble to the right gameplay that most of us sim folks hate with a passion. Not to mention they still have the QB backpedal to the side. So as far as I'm concerned.....Same ol Madden...

EA is still spoon feeding football to it's customers one feature at a time.. Vision cone, pro-tak, locomotion, all this just to re-package the same un-innovative game in a new wrapping and sell it for the same $65 every yr... This year theyve "Tweaked" their gameplay engine but not replaced it, thats why this thing looks the same.. The player models have the same appearance..They don't to make a high quality, complete football experience because if they do we'll play it for several years like we do with APF2K8 and they won't get their yearly $65...

This is why we get bits and pieces added and subtracted but never true realism or innovative features..
Other games take several years to be created, tested and released... Madden comes out every year like clockwork... They frankenstein this thing together with leftover features taken from past versions..slap on a new picture of a popular player and BANG! $65 more dollars.. this will be the 5th year in a row that theyve repeated this formula..

I played madden on the 3do back in 93 and it was one of the best games ive ever played..This series has fallen from grace bigtime, so much so that they no longer deserve the money theyre asking for..IMO

This can only open the door for BB. I just saying not trying to start anything, but in the videos of BB I saw things that really impressed me, and the one thing that really stuck out is how there is no suction blocking.

Players get blocked and come of their blocks very realistic. I really feel BB is going to be a pleasant surprise.

I can not wait to create my NFL teams. The tools given to us are very deep.

Won't it be nice to actually draft a stud defensive lineman and know he'll have a chance to actually get pressure because of no suction blocking? I'm crossing my fingers too that BB plays a more realistic brand of football.. not perfect, just more realistic

I'm sorry, I must've accidentally wandered into the Backbreaker forums. I'm looking for the Madden forums, can someone show me the way?

Look, I myself have zero-----zip----nada interest in BB, which is why I don't post in those forums anymore.(After being threatened of being reported for trolling).

Please stop with the BB praise in a thread about a Madden video. I'm tired of it already......you don't want me to say what I honestly feel about BB. I'm leaving it at that.

Peace.

Enough about Backbreaker. Get back on topic.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Video Preview (Xbox Live)

Couldn't agree more, I think we all thought that the "stretching" of the ratings was going to accomplish this, but it really didn't. It would be cool to see the superstars as true forces to be reckoned with in the game.

After watching that video, I would love to see EA program in a small but very important animation - defensive end swats. Notice how when the end beats the tackle, and the QB is about to throw, he will reach his arm out to try and deflect the pass or strip the ball while in the motion of throwing? This would make d-lineman a LOT more effective, and would add more strategy to the game. As it stands, you can be standing in pocket basically hip to hip to a defender, and throw a pass with no reprocussions. Make us pay for holding on to a ball for that long, and allow the ball to be stripped at a certain point!

This seriously. First time I came here I thought it was the All Pro/2K5 boards. When I commented on this, I got reported and a notification or something for "trolling". These boards are ridiculous lol

agree with spankdatazz, these guys don't know what to do, showing off animation s that I was used to 5 years ago, toe dragging, big deal, we 2Kers have been dragging toes for years, with several animations covering it.
Tell us something worthwhile, new game engine with more capabilities, better defensive ai, better scaling, and psychics, and instead of 25 characteristics, of which 2 count, how about showing acceleration, agility, strength, that mean something?
And please, one of these years, since you have never done it in 22 years, realistic touch passes, and lobs.

Where's the momentum physics? When the green bay player breaks tackles, his speed isnt affected, nor was his balance?? He just broke thru two tackles and kept running like no one ever touched him.

When is the last time you saw a player break 2 tackles and not have his balance, direction, or speed affected? This type of gameplay just isnt acceptable anymore, not from a game supposedly mimicking the NFL.

I loved that pancake by the dolphins lineman, pretty animation. I still wish the DEs would rush upfield harder.

We need a new dedicated Madden board. Where people talk about madden. and not incessantly bash it.

Because obviously. This board isn't working. Every second third fourth post is about BB, 2k5, or bashing.
