      Based on the demo this is better than last year's Madden .. which was pretty good.
      You definitely notice the difference with Locomotion and Gameflow is a perfect addition.
      The Jets were bringing the heat on a regular basis like they do in real life.

      Madden 11 > Madden 10 > all the Madden's before it. Don't believe me? Play Madden 2005 again.

        I downloaded it this morning and I'm not at all pleased, frankly. I especially disliked the return to the old three-button press kick meter and hyping it like it's an improvement. I don't like the gameflow feature at all because it takes the game out of the player's hand and basically becomes CPU vs CPU. I guess that's fine if you're a button-smasher but I like to choose my own plays and execute them, so I won't be using it.

          Locomotion (it feels just right, not over or under done on normal speed).

          Gameflow (very cool, and perfect for those who just want to move from play to play).

          Coordinator (not annoying as expected, pretty immersive actually).

          Transititions from play to play much better (the game just flows better from down to down).

          Commentators (again better when actually playing, Gus surprised me a few times with his exhuberance).

          *Another plus for me was how nicely commentary went from play to a replay; and so far each replay was nicely done.

          *I didn't have many penalties, but there was a nice replay as the referee was calling the penalty, replay was showing it while you chose to accept or decline.

          These are just a few of my impressions and I cannot wait to play more.
          I forgot to mention one thing

          Strategy Pad, I have to say to have so streamlined has made it so easy to use, it took a few seconds to adjust to and I was making all adjustments in seconds.

          Well, hope you guys are enjoying the demo and football games again. For the next couple of months I stay off the Madden/NCAA boards, because it gets a little crazy. I will see you on the other boards.

            I completely agree. Gus brings so much excitement to the game and I can't wait for August 10th. The strategy pad took me 3 games and now I'm used to it and really don't have anything to gripe about. I'm loving Madden 11 so far.

              I disagree with Madden 11 being better than Madden 10. I don't see that yet. Pro-Tak is doing some odd things in that demo. Players are not pursuing like I remember in Madden 10. Locomotion does not bring the player momentum this game desperately needs. There are moments when certain player move in a more natural looking manner, but that can't be said for everyone on the field. The animations are still very twitchy with too many cases of players sliding into position and gliding in and out of maneuvers.
              Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

                Can anyone verify if there is two player Co-Op in the demo? I did a search and found nothing on this yet.

                    This is after only one game on pro difficulty, so take it with a grain of salt, but color me unimpressed. The whole thing just felt slow and tedious, and Gus Johnson's pro wrassling announcing style does absolutely nothing for me.

                    I'll try again later with tweeked settings, but right now it is my opinion that NCAA 11 blows Madden out of the water.

                      What dislikes do you have about the gameplay? Stuff that really matters.

                        Try it on normal. Ian said they will be changing the default speed to normal this year. Demo is set to slow...

                          Are we talking NCAA demo blowing Madden demo out of the water or Retail NCAA blowing Demo Madden out the water
