Re: 4 More Madden NFL 11 Videos (Pastapadre)

i just dont understand why in head to head games they put both play call screens together in the middle of the screen.

not only does it totally block all of the cut scenes, but it makes it so easy to pick your play and see the plays you opponent is looking at as well.

The play call screens should be vertical on the far left, and far right..

The whole playcall setup, I just don't know how this got messed up. If there was no post-play and no cut scenes it wouldn't matter, but unfortunately there are and the playcall screens cover them up, unless you have GameFlow on, but then the downside there is that if you don't pick your play in so many seconds the CPU picks it. So you can be engrossed in watching a celebration and then suddenly a play is called by the CPU that you didn't want to happen.

WOW!!!..... the commentary and halftime show is amazing!..... its as though im watching a real game on tv... i honestly think they've reached a point where you cant tell thats its a video game that you're playing.... this game is worth more than $60.00, it should be at least $150.00 but im sure they care about us so much that they decided to accept a loss so that we could enjoy such an amazing game.... GREAT JOB EA!

LMAO....... we used to have a poster like you at our 49er forums...named NolanHasAPlan....with his posts he turned alot of former blind Mike Nolan backers into normal people again.....when some people are blinded by something and they read stuff by someone who is even MORE extremely blind.....they start taking notice.

I see they still don't know how to make dreadlocks. They seem to think all players with dreads wear then in ponytails.

I'm guessing even Sega Genesis could pull off this simple feat...

Would you prefer it if players with dreads were just given short hair instead? What we've got is better than nothing.

I'd rather have better gameplay (something I won't know if we got it or not until I play it) than correct dreads.

Besides the obvious hafltime show being not so much of a haftime show, why do they still have uneventful little runs under 10 yards in the highlights still? But at least the tackles after catch look good and for the most part a whole lot better than previous seasons.

Re: 4 More Madden NFL 11 Videos (Pastapadre)

Wait a second... I need to correct my previous post. I do remember now. At the time I just thought it was something still being worked on so I didn't think anything of it. I just figured it was Alpha stage stuff.

If that is what the final is going to be, well, that's just sad. They could've at least been creative with it... make a video room to choose highlights. Or do something where you pick the highlights and they get extracted directly from the game with Gus's commentary... something... anything... what I see right now just looks dead.

I hear ya. If this is it, sad is indeed the case. For the first time in years NCAA seems a bit "alive" and not stale and boring. Madden needs to get to that point too, or else it will be hard for me to continue to play it for any significant length of time after release.

OBVIOUSLY....This is NOT the final product.

You're delusional. They only have one month before the game goes gold. Do you really think they're going to change the game that much?

Only thing that's going to be done at this point is minor gameplay tweaks, bug fixes, and things of that nature. You're pretty much looking at what you're going to get in a month and a half.

Re: 4 More Madden NFL 11 Videos (Pastapadre)

Kinda dissapointed with the halftime show, but I'm pleasantly surprised with the gameplay in that video. The run-blocking looks a lot better, as when AP followed his blocks, he made some great runs. On the sweep play to the left, he outran his blockers and lost some yardage. And on one play the Seahawks just knew the run was coming and exploited a hole in the offensive line. Those players were supposed to be unblocked I think, so it looked very good.

Also, that play action play was beautiful. All the line backers fell for it, and then turned and tried to recover but it was too late.

Another thing is that the catching looks awesome. Percy Harvin's dive over the middle was great.

Two steps forward and two steps back. Our half time show has regressed back to Madden 09. I love it. This is why 2k5 will always be leaps and bounds better than Madden. They just don't get it.

Really like the replays. I wish NCAA had these angles.

Re: 4 More Madden NFL 11 Videos (Pastapadre)

I was impressed by the gameplay except for the McNabb throws under pressure. He gets hit and still throws across the hashes and 40yds downfield to a streaking Devin Thomas.

Helmets are WAY TOO SHINY.

They look like they are polished after every play.

Re: 4 More Madden NFL 11 Videos (Pastapadre)

OK, I just bought Madden 07, 08, and 09 for $2.50 used just to remember how things were. Let me just say that Madden 11 looks to DESTROY them in graphics, gameplay, and presentation. I may still skip Madden 11 and play 2k5 another year, but 2012, or 2013 might just be the game to take over 2k5. We will see.

Re: 4 More Madden NFL 11 Videos (Pastapadre)

The half time show video was the worst half time presentation I have ever seen attempted in modern gaming. After so many years it becomes obvious that the Madden team either A) has zero talent, or B) just doesnt care.

This series has gone nothing but in reverse since the PS2 / Xbox days. What used to be a flagship game has regressed into shareware.

NCAA is shaping up to be quite good this year, but Madden needs new people to take over the game. Its obvious the current team is not making any significant strides from year to year.
