Madden NFL 11 to Redefine Football with Simpler, Quicker and Deeper Experience

Even as John Madden calls, they didn't really fit anything that made good football sense, so I'd end up in the main playbook anyway. It would be cool to be able to script the first 20 plays, though. I'd really enjoy that....

I think thats what "GameFlow" might be..

Not cool. They need to quit worrying about the quick tournament crap and just let the game be what it is. Football is not a "quick" sport. You can play a game with 15 minute quarters in about 90 minutes. That's half the time of a real game. It doesn't need to be any faster. Put in-game saves in for the people who lack free time, and leave it the heck alone.

Don't knock it yet. It might be pretty good

I think it's going to be pretty nice if it has depth. If it does not have depth then ehhh

Hopefully either something that has to do with Franchise mode or OL/DL/3-4 D..

Could simpler playcalling mean that they are doing away with completely designed plays and are using a 2K like system where you pick coverage, blitz, and fronts separately?

Naaaaahhhh lol. Just wishful thinking.

How hard is it for sports games to add in-game saves????

It must be like rocket science because EA rarely adds this feature to their games.

Instead they're more worried about a catchy marketing phrase!!

I wonder what the new audio sounds like. Probably still horrible but, I'll wait and see on this one. Also when I'm picking a play It usually doesn't take me more than 15-20 seconds(pending on acc clock) and that is me taking a long time. I don't see how they can speed it up anymore unless It's for the players that don't have a good idea about what their picking.
