Madden NFL 11 Videos: Colts vs. Chargers (Pastapadre)

Re: Pasta Padre Madden Video Set 2

I liked Madden 10, and my main problems with the game was locomotion, catching, presentation, and sim stats/franchise mode. They fixed all of those except for franchise mode. So I'll guess they'll get my $60. Plus I want to post a simulation dynasty of Madden and NCAA combined. However, I feel like we need another feature here. I mean, we really haven't gotten that much.

BTW I loved the scene of the fans at the end of the game getting all nervous in the stands.

Re: Pasta Padre Madden Video Set 2

I could have sworn I saw DE getting up field... but 0 interior penetration.

sigh oh well.

Re: Pasta Padre Madden Video Set 2

I honestly think this game looks good. Granted I haven't played Madden 10 in about 7 months now but Im liking the way this game is shaping up. Looking forward to playing this game.

Haven't seen all the vids yet, but if you're referring to the Colts that's probably because they don't have a big-time interior presence. Their strength is on the edges, always has been. I see it as a good thing, because last year, the pressure and sacks came from interior guys and the pocket was really lacking.

I don't know if you've had a chance, but there's a great thread going on with curvise who was actually at E3 and got some hands on time with the game. On page 2 he goes through how big matchups are and highly rated interior guys like Jamal Williams were able to collapse the pocket.

Re: Pasta Padre Madden Video Set 2

Does anyone know what the difficulty level was? It looked way too easy to move upfield. In the last video - the end of the 4th quarter, when the game is Colts 29 - Chargers 28 - there is a banner, which shows that the Chargers are 2 for 3 on 3rd downs! No team should be able to score 28 points and only have 3 3rd downs.

Re: Pasta Padre Madden Video Set 2

what i could see out of those few videos:

The good:
-CB backpeddling seems to be improved
-commentary not a huge jump but better
-some routes like out routes were possible to hit
-the Praying fans ^^

The Bad
-Still too many tackle animations that allow a RB to fall forward
-Player height completely off in Cutscenes.. RBs as big as QBs ...
-Every Receiver is getting open (i hope they played on pro^^)
-Players are sliding over the field especially the real fast ones (Sanders is making one step but moves as if he has made 2.)
-All players have the same leg movement frequence no matter how fast they are^^ (3rd video @ 0:46 look @ sanders and the other defenders)

The Worst
-360 catch is back:
- a Power pass over the middle is catched with a 360 catch that should be uncatchable without lobbing it
-1st video 1:25


My conclusion so far:the 360 is back a catch i hated that was in 09 and should never return. they just can't get over the point that you have to use different pass types for different situations not everything can be catched . Passing still overpowered no need to run the ball thats a no buy so far for me

Re: Pasta Padre Madden Video Set 2

Wow, I am surprised at all the negativity about these videos. I was extremely impressed with what I saw. Now, keep in mind, I haven't liked Madden in years. I started to dig last years' game, and I played it plenty. A few years back, remember when Ian came out very late in the game and informed us that there were no CPU sliders, and he admitted knowing about it for months but didn't know how to break it to us. I think Bill Abner had to find out for himself before Ian said anything about it.....well I was so p'd off that I threw a tantrum on these boards and got sent to my room for awhile... so remember, I am very skeptical about Madden.

But, I gotta say, these vids look great! The cut scenes are fantastic- on point, relevant, and a lot of new ones. Gus Johnson, while still a work in progress, really gives me goosebumps with his enthusiasm. If they can get him to talk more pre-snap and use more last names and such, the commentary is gonna be great...a huge step up from Hammonds. The sideline catches look good- that one where the Colts almost caught it in bounds was sick! The replays are a nice touch as well....it really looked like a TV broadcast the way the replays are being shown. Excellent job EA. The gameplay, while not perfect, looks much better...you can tell these guys are playing on rookie, but you can still tell that they fixed a lot of things that bothered us in the past. Also, the faces look really really good.

You guys gotta give some credit where credit is due. Don't be a *****, this game is looking very nice. I am going into this season with a positive outlook and I will give EA another chance....they are making some nice strides here and I acknowledge that.

Now- GO LAKERS tonight!

Re: Pasta Padre Madden Video Set 2

Lol, at the end of video six, the guy lined it up almost perfect, had 99% kick power, and 100% accuracy aprox. Id be ok if it was a little short...but that thing was like 15-20 yards short,lol. 99% is a 34 yard kick(since it was short 20)?

Re: Pasta Padre Madden Video Set 2

So far I see Madden 10 featuring Gus Johnson

No you don't...you see Madden 10 featuring Gus Hammond.

Re: Pasta Padre Madden Video Set 2

I loved Madden 10 it was the first madden since 05 for pc that i could play some Franchise years in, but it still had a lot of flaws.
I don't see those flaws resolved with this version + the 360 catch is back the most unrealistic catch in videogame history ^^

I fear we will just have the the player awareness for the sidelines and 20 new cut scenes.
Man even those intros i've seen so far were mostly the "saints intro"

You have to move the arrow down all the way and drive it.....you'll get more distance.

Re: Pasta Padre Madden Video Set 2

Definitely need more dialogue. Here's an example from a random video I found. No dead space.

Re: Pasta Padre Madden Video Set 2

I just thought of a possible reason why there is no commentary before the snap. With the gameflow feature the offensive coordinator is supposed to be speaking to you before the snap telling you what play to run. Obviously they do not want two different sets of dialogue going at the same time so unfortunately for everybody they chose to have Gus just start his commentary after the ball is snapped. Therefore, if we are not using gameflow there is no commentary at all before the snap causing the "dead space."

This is extremely frustrating because to be honest with you Gus sounds pretty damn good during the play as a commentator.
