Madden NFL 11 Video: Tim Tebow Highlights (OS @ E3)

That play was awesome, I remember it happening on TV. Amazing.

However, look at the title of the vid. Greatest run in history. It's not titled, "cool play that happens every other game".

This would be a cool Madden highlight if it was one of a kind. However, for this kind of footage, along with the wack Reggie Bush return, to show up with such a limited gameplay timeframe @ E3 is troubling.

The good news is that it is probably tunable. Hopefully this becomes a rarity that is truly magical versus something you throw controllers over because it happens all the time.

Edit: Tommie Fraizer was at the apex of college football in that game. His ratings would have been all 99's. Tebow is a rookie QB in Madden 11. Something is kind of wrong about that.

That looked exactly like one of those pro tak break the pile tackles that everyone says are so unrealistic. That WAS real footage correct? I'm trying to figure out how its unrealistic in Madden but happens in real life, lol.

I agree that animations trigger at inappropriate moments though.

LoL. Yeah, Someone had to pull up a decade old (and then some) highlight to justify something that happens all the time in Madden.

But the other issue is, in real life defenders don't deflect off the ball carrier like a magical force is surrounded by the ball carrier because he's engaged in a one on one tackle with some else instead of gang tackling.

This is just like the Bush one nobody can put the second hit on with out a force field are the animation making the defender miss.

There a differnets between the video and Madden and thats Physics there are no force fields on the collage player.

However you all seem like EA owes YOU something which is just funny to me

EA does owe us something. Having created this monopoly, they owe us the best product possible, within reason.

For a few years now, I have sat here and laughed at everyone who says "I'm not buying the game this year"... Whether I think it's a great game or not, I NEED my NFL video game fix and must deal with whatever EA Sports gives me. However, just a second ago was the very first time that I can remember ever in my life actually thinking to myself "hmm.. maybe I can just get by with NCAA this year"..

Now, we all know the truth, once I watch the first game of the NFL season this year I will get that unbearable itch to play some Madden and no doubt will own this game by then, but it's sad that I even had the thought cross my mind that I really didn't need to buy the game this year... I wonder how many other people get this feeling for the first time or even worse, how many people that think this every year are REALLY thinking about not getting this game... Anyways it's sad...

man people that moan about all the nitpicky stuff drive me nuts. 'why should we spend 59.99 to play a game with [fill in the blank] issue?!' you should buy it because it's fun. not sure if you all remember but madden is a game. it's meant for enjoyment. if you get so caught up in animation problems and petty s*** like that, you need to reconsider why you play video games at all.

if you don't like it, don't play it. no one is forcing you to buy the game. if it doesn't meet your exact specifications, leave it on the shelf.

Gee, how often does that happen in REAL LIFE. Good for you, you can go back over 100 years of college and pro football to find a highlight for something. If you want it to be realistic, then it should only happen a couple times a decade. Not every other game.

Now do you understand why it's unrealistic?

if you don't think tackling is an important part of football and that Madden is only football game this gen that has this problem and wasn't even an issue in some football games in previous gen, then hey, ignorance is bliss. morre power to ya.

So wait, they don't owe us anything? We just give them 65 dollars a year, (plus more if you include the bogus downloadable content) for nothing?

I don't play video games simply because they are 'fun'. I play them to put myself in a realistic situation that I normally would not be able to be in. I play Red Dead Redemption because I feel like I am actually THERE and in that world. It's believable. I play "Hardcore" mode on Call of Duty games because I want it to be the most realistic experience possible as if I was in that situation in real life.

I play Madden because I want to know what it's like to be a professional football player as well as a coach. I want to feel a small (very) part of what Peyton Manning feels when he lobs that perfect pass over the defender for a touchdown. Or how good the Ravens D feels when they swarm the ballcarrier and don't allow him to gain an inch... We need Madden to be as realistic as possible for this reason, because if it gives off the impression of being fake, I will lose interest and it will not seem real to me. I don't play video games just to "have fun". That's what the Wii is for.

I haven't purchased a next gen Madden because it's been sub par. But you are attacking people for being unhappy that Madden doesn't have things in the game that it and others had WELL OVER A HALF DECADE AGO.

Because of the Exclusive Rights, MADDEN is the ONLY NFL licensed game out there. People have a right to be unhappy with EA/Tib.

I think his point is the one we've heard numerous times, the majority of the people that complain over and over still buy the game, and then they play it and complain some more.
If it's really that big of a deal, don't buy the game. If you don't have fun with the game because you can't look past these things don't buy the game.
If you know about these problems, they bother you, and you are going to support EA by purchasing it, then what are you complaining about? They gave you a product that you deemed worthy of your cash. That's really the only opinion of a consumer that matters, is it good enough to get their money?
