Have to agree with some of the comments on the Strategy Pad, while I'm not against the change in theory there is an awful lot of muscle memory built up and the computer snaps so quickly it is currently annoying to try to override my muscle memory and read through the options on the pad. Eventually it'll be fine but it'd be nice to have the option to just turn on the old system of modification.

The memorization for me is an issue. When you're working against a clock its almost necessary to memorize.

The different presnap audible used to be the one or two features that were added every year over the course of about 5 years of madden. It was easier to memorize the few additions and button combos one season at a timefor me, I'll probably struggle this time around.

Didn't come away really impress at all. I know I will still pick it up, but it;s crazy how I think that NCAA graphics are better. and NCAA players models seem to look better.

There's no question in my mind that NCAA's player models are much better than Madden's.

I thought the could have made at least some improvements to graphics. Honestly the game "Looks" just like 10 if it werent for gameflow the new rookies and the updated superstar mode i wouldnt buy this game. Very upset EA
could have done way better

I only played both demos, nothing retail. The players looked much better in NCAA. In Madden the players' heads are too big and so is the ball.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Demo Available Now, Please Post Impressions Here

I'm at work so I haven't had a chance to play the demo yet, but I wanted to ask a question to those who have.

Can people still abuse the flats or has it been toned down a little?

Is Man coverage just as affective as it was in Madden 10 or it is better or worse?

Why is the deep ball back? Are the WRs getting more separation, or are they going up after the ball more then before?

I'm really curious as to how Man Coverage is now, I remember at first on 10 it was horrible, then they patched it and it became a little better. But on most routes the WR would beat the DB pretty easy vs Man. Or there were certain plays that would beat man coverage every time.

Thanks

Now this is what I expected to hear from people. M11 is a tweaked and improved version of M10.

I also am thinking that there is a lot of truth when you said "I think the initial negative reaction is due to NCAA going from horrible to really good and Madden going from really good to better". NCAA 10 was terrible and now NCAA11 is great with a massive amount of improvement this year. Last year Madden 10 was really good and people are expecting the same massive leap for Madden 11. The problem is it may have only improved a little which makes some gamers really upset, but it still may end up a good overall game.

As long as it is improved (the gameplay) a little over last year I will be very happy.

i totally agree

If they don't change stuff, they are lazy bottom-feeders who still can't catch up with 2K5 and whose exclusivity contract means they never need to innovate.

If they do change stuff, everyone starts screaming and doesn't understand why they "broke" the game.

Exactly what I've been saying. Some people just bitch to bitch, PERIOD.
Plus you have "people" insulting developers and wondering why they get the boot.

Defensive spotlight is still in, now you have to hold the show playart button (RT on 360) and select who you want to target from there.

does anyone know when it comes out for playstation 3?

Re: Madden NFL 11 Demo Available Now, Please Post Impressions Here

Ok have playing some more games.......

1. That guy talking into the headset talks too much for my liking LOL. Yeah I get it he is explaining what every play does, so it is useful for people who don't know football, but for football vets, it gets annoying after a while. No biggie though, just simply turn it off LOL.

2. Running is way easy. Just keep pressing up on the right stick and you will burst out of tackles. I burst out of 8 tackles once doing that. Every time a guy grab me, I pressed up and Adai burst out of there like the incredible hulk. So needless to say the dual stick controls is more responsive on here then it is on NCAA 11.

3. The cpu QB snaps the ball way too fast, you can't adjust crap on defense because he snaps it within 2 seconds of coming up to the line.

4. There is a severe intentional grounding thing the cpu QB does every time you about to get a sack on him. He will throw the ball out no where near a player just to avoid the sack in the pocket. I am just scratching my head like why on earth isn't the flag not being thrown here ????? Sanchez did it 8 times.

5. Game flow, game plan don't impress me. Nice concept for those who want to get down and deep with it like an RTS game. But for me, I can pick my own plays just as fast as game flow LOL.

6. Passing is kind of weird at times. When you miss a pass this year, you REALLY miss a pass. Like the ball goes sailing off target by a good 10 yards or more. So that makes those sideline passes kind of tricky.

Why does it get so quiet after every play? There's no crowd noise or commentary.
