It seems that this series will always have a loyal following no matter what is released.
The sad part of it all,to the little "johnny's" this game is the cat's meow,and will always appeal to someone.
I'm done dealing with mediocrity to get my football "fix".

I think a lot of people are overreacting because I saw a lot more positive things than bad in that video.
There's also more.
- The running animations are much more improved
- The sideline catches looks much improved
- Fans are more realistic (Something that I suspected earlier)
- New Commentary! Gus Johnson is in the game!
There's also more.

The raw footage tid-bits you see in the 30 minute special were a lot better than the stuff you see in the trailer. The footage is also probably all late alpha-early beta.
Locomotion isn't looking exactly how I pictured it. But I'll continue to reserve judgment until I get my hands on the demo. Locomotion is a "feel for yourself" thing.
Also, did anyone see Phil Frazier?! He lost a ton of weight. I didn't even recognize him with the glasses until they introduced him.

Looks exactly like '10. The rushing animation looks stiff and robotic once again. I think I'll wait for it to hit the bargain bin, I see no improvements worth $65 over last year's iteration.
The only way to truly improve Madden is to overhaul or replace the game engine. Pre-rendered animations are ugly and stiff, and make the game boring after a short while. But it's a lot to do when you have to release a new game every year. Only extreme optimists would expect any worthwhile change year-to-year. It's financially beneficial to make changes in small increments. It makes it easier to market a yearly re-release of what is essentially the same core gameplay.

this trailer was footage from madden 10,because madden 11 will be madden 10 with more canned animations.
only hope for us(realistic gameplay lovers) is with no doubt 2012(hope is not the end of the world)

Madden 11 scares me. I want to reserve judgement until I get to play the demo, but im not encouraged by this mantra to be speedup and simplify the game. Football is not meant to be played in 30 minutes unless you are playing in the arcade. I really have to question the focus this year. I want more emotion, authenticity and atmosphere between the whistles - not less. : (
It almost feels like they couldnt get it right so instead of improving the presentation, they decided to cut it out. Look at Madden 11's tagline - "its Simpler, Quicker and Deeper." Personally I liked the "Everything you see on Sunday" mantra they employed last year a lot better. Even if it wasnt pulled off.
Simpler - really? I hope they dont dumb it down too much. Quicker - really?? They just slowed it down last year to play more realistically. Deeper - really??? Isnt that the exact opposite of "Simpler"? Does anyone else sense the muddled focus here?
This is a definate wait and see for me.

My biggest problem with Madden on the next gen is the way the players move. It just does not look realistic to me. They still look jerky and robotic. After seeing the Backbreaker Trailer and how beautifully smooth that game looks in motion, Madden may end up being a thing of the past for me. Have to wait until some franchise info comes out to see if Madden 11 will be worth the purchase. What I've seen so far, and that's not much has not peeked my interest yet.

lo I just read the 1st page and some people cant be pleased. Reggie Bush looked great. And (start herm edwards voice) HELLO (end herm edwards voice) it is still april.....they still are tuning the OL. The LOCO looked good to me. Some people expect way too much from a game. They can only show so much in a video you have to play the game

The Locomotion definitely looks good to me. It's visible in many players, I especially saw it in a few LBs perusing Reggie and also, in Reggie alone in his last run. The running moves, set up moves, and spins/jukes/cuts looks really good COMPARED to Madden 10. I think some are just nit picking because it is definitely an improvement of what so many people complained about. Sure it's not 'THERE' yet but I think for what most have been asking, it looks pretty good to be in the Alpha stage. I think it'll definitely change how we plan and make it a bit more fun. The 1 play system seems like it can be cool and since it seems it's an OPTION, I like the idea. I'm pretty impressed with the trailer based on root level improvements that seem to be done.

Ill bite on this.
We are here because if we wish to play a NFL football game, this is the only choice we have. Now, back in the 2k vs Madden days forum members would jump forums to talk trash about this or that when it wasnt necessary for either side to engage in such childishness. Fast forward to today and we are forced to play Madden if we want a NFL game.
Much to my dismay, Madden is the only hope any of us can cling to on a yearly basis to provide a decent playing football experience and after 5 years Im sick of the " maybe next years"
Right now you have pretty much all the video football fans funneled into the Madden forum, and its not by choice.
If we were to ever to return to the days of multiple NFL products released, then you would get you wish. Sure there would always be azzhats trolling one forum or another, but it would be to a much less degree.
I long for days where we all have solid football products to play, regardless of which game you like better.
Too many people think the majority of people are trolling or wanting Madden to fail, when the opposite is quite true. There are many of us that would love nothing more than to be able to play a solid product that isnt flawed in a million different directions.
What I wouldnt give to see not only a return of 2k football, but to see other companies like the Fever team and SCEA and its THE Show team etc to come out with a NFL football title and see where we go from there.
I did not like the look of that at all. Especially how easy that first pass was. No coverage in the flats yet again. And the score, it was like 100 point game.
Waht was with Reggie Bush taking the high short steps in the open field. Does that happen everytime you slow down.

Hahaha. "Im a husband....Madden 11 was my idea." Gold!
It feels as if the developers at Tiburon have had their decisions taken out of their hands by the executive commitee at EA. They all sat down at a table and the head honchos said "Ok boys, our numbers were off last year. We need to go back, retool, and get that casual gaming market back. Make it Simple. Make it Quick. and throw the word Deeper to appease our current hardcore market." It's all about making money. I dont think that is a bad thing, but i do not approve of the path they seem to be taking with Madden 11. Instead of improving the depth and authenticity of the game, they are dumbing it down to get sales.
Unfortunately, when a company has no focus with a game, and it attempts to get any and all people to buy it, then end up missing the mark. This happens to movies all the time when they are driven by market research, demograhic profiling and over simplification. You simply CANNOT satisfy all of the people all of the time.
I feel they should have an "EASY" mode that makes the game simple and quick. (They have easy already, but hey...). And then keep pounding away at last year's lofty mantra to bring "Everything we see on Sunday" home to Madden NFL. Add in real time presentation like MLB The Show. Network presentation. etc...
Dont get me wrong. I dont want Madden to fail. I have been waiting for a great NFL game since 2K5. I want Madden to be amazing again. I just feel frustrated by all these empty promises made about the game every year. If we could go back 1 year and see the hype generated by promising a real NFL experience, compared to now when we have...simpler, quicker...and um...deeper. : (

i liked the video , i don't the point was to show more than what was talked about. they didn't let everything out.
I think some guys are losing sight of the gameplan thing. you can setup as a normal or game to game. I think this will tie into franchise somehow.
Graphically i really don't know what people were looking for. I thought madden 10 graphics were good . with the exeception of grass looking a little more real. I didn't expect a graphics change.
