If you think it looks like '10 you're not paying attention.

Guess I'm not then, because aside from some new cutscenes and sideline catches, it looks the same to me.

As I said, I need to play the demo to see and feel the difference. JMO......

Glad to see that they tuned down the defence.
No more fight for every yard, now it's big play all day

I could say "If you think it doesnt look like 10, you are a fanboy".

Thats not what Im saying, but if you can make silly comments like that, I guess everyone can.

To me, it looks like a very marginal upgrade, and considering the seeming lack of improvements in other areas of the game, gameplay should be much better, but it doesnt appear that way. Ill play it, but pretty obvious from that there are no major improvements in any area of the game.

I gotta' agree. Seeing as franchise was ignored to place all their efforts on gameplay, I am hugely disappointed not to see MAJOR upgrades in any area, really. Sure, the lighting looks cool, a few new animations, some tweaks and such, but overall, I just have a hard time finding what they dedicated ALL of their effort into this year!

My last Madden was Maden 09, i don´t payed attension for 10 after i played the Demo. So for me all the stuff are big improvements compared to 09. I watched a few Videos and i must say they slowly come close to 2k5 IN SOME POINTS. Glad they cutted the unreal backmoves of QBs and Tron jogging. A major thing i still noticed, late Hits out of bounds will not be charged again..that´s weak, so see some Holy Diver`s again...

totally agree with u about the late hits y cant they just push them out or slow down when they get close to the sidelines after all these years just doesnt makes sense.i really hope ratings and fatigue matter this year last year not so much

late hits was in M10....It only triggers when u hit stick sum1 late out of bounds....but i agree it needs to be tuned up...i see late hits everywhere.

Funny how people think 11 looks like only a marginal upgrade over 10.
I thought 10 played like a marginal upgrade over 09 so I skipped it.
But 11 looks like a big upgrade over 09, I'm hoping it plays that way.

i will base my decision off of the demo. I like some of the gameplay upgrades the design team incorporated but I am not feeling it. A lot of the same tackle animation as last year, less use of pro-tak etc.

Why did they scrap the halftime show? I know it needed some work, but damn, instead of trying to improve it, they just trash it, wtf.

I hope they only scratched the Halftime Show on the E3 Version.
But that would be a major disappointment if they don`t have it on the Full Version!

Thats because you skipped M10 man, when you skip games two cycles are huge. Pop in madden 07 & pop in Madden 08 it crazy

Re: Madden NFL 11 Videos: Full Game - Dolphins vs. Bengals (madscientist06)

I give the gameplay, based on these videos, a passing grade overall. Definitely see some improvement. Wish there was a lot more. The animations look better, yet still very strange at the same time lol. It's hard to explain, but I will save that for another day and another thread.

Couple of issues though that I will briefly touch on from watching the vids.

1- There was a Pro-tak moment in the first video early on (don't remember the time but I could find it if anyone wants) that was very reminiscent of 10, and that's a bad thing. The same animation where a group of people surround the runner, and the runner keeps driving his legs and all the defenders fall down and the runner, usually goes all the way for a score. Another defender got to him this time before he went the distance, but I really wish that they had removed this from the game. It happened so much in 10 that I could do it at least once every game with Jacobs. I know he's a beast, but come on lol. Even if they turned it down in 11, I think it shouldn't be in there at all. The defense is at an unfair disadvantage as they are helpless to stop it because all tackle attempts by other defenders will be ignored, and they will just fall down, until the animation finishes playing out. Players breaking out of a crowd to score, does happen IRL, but it happens so rarely that I would rather it NEVER happened in the game, EVER, until they can address the fact that canned animations will supersede any of the defenders tackle attempts.

2- When the QB drops back to pass, initially he does a big bounce, and it looks pretty good, but after that he just stands there flat footed. There is the ever so tiniest of bounces, but for the most part, he just stands with his feet rooted to the ground. No QB, dare I say, no athlete, in any sport, stands flat footed. They need to have him more on the balls of his foot and he needs to be in perpetual motion. Much more so than he is now. He should be looking left and right, moving his feet, and bouncing. Now there is no VC, so he really isn't tracking a receiver, but since the game's animation system allows you to throw passes, in the blink of an eye, regardless of what the QB is doing, which direction he's facing, and where the receiver is in relation to him, it shouldn't matter if it just randomly has him look left and right arbitrarily, because you will still be able to pass to where ever you want regardless. This would add a tremendous amount of life, to the QB, which has been rather lifeless.

I am marginally more excited for the game than I was. Don't know if that's because of the small improvements, or just because it's almost Football season and I'm getting the fever. The game does look a little better than 10, and that's probably (unfortunately) all we can really expect.
