Agreed. Some people making good points but for the most part a lot of the same stuff over and over. Not easy at all to find a simple answer.

Also I guess everyone owns a xbox.

For EA to be in a 'can't win situation' like you claim, the only logical conclusion is that the community is split over the change. Your posts assumes people wanted it. By community I mean Madden buyers.

If noone wanted the changes, then apparantly EA already had it right.

Well, I tried the demo.

I am sure if the stadium sounds were on, and the stadium music kicking the sound would be better. The players faces look allot better (Manning looks like Manning and not some weird freak) The lighting is good, but not having progressive lighting is a huuuugeee blow this year.

Also why does the ball look so FREAKING BIG? Can you guys at ea make the ball the correct proportion to the players? Patch it maybe? Does the NFL require you to pump that thing up so we can see the lettering? Annoying.

Anything that is mapped to the horrible xbox360 d pad should never be done.

I will buy the game, because its the only NFL game in town, but I know you guys did a poor job this year compared to last based upon the demo.

Its true, whoever they have concentrating on this stuff must be part time football fans. I wonder if EA has anyone the Madden Team who actually like football. I hate seeing them online having their stupid round table meetings talking about listening to the fans! Listening to the fans?? Really? Let me ask you EA are those football fans your listening to or are you taking advice from the foreign exchange intern in the mail room!

You guys are making this harder than it needs to be. Just suck up your stupid pride, hire a real dev team and some real football people and give e the ship! You can't listen to madden! Yeah I said it! He is like 90 and all this stuff looks great to him! My grandfather worked in the Auto Business for 40 years and still calls my cousins Dodge Neon a bat mobile!

Just cause madden knows football doesn't mean knows technology!!!

Ok....i played the demo for 5 hours this morning. i then came back and played again. but this time i played a quick quarter of madden 10 ( jets vs colts 1 pm clear weather). madden 11 is night and day above madden 10 visually. I also played on very slow and on pro with the cpu slider for pass coverage and pass rush at 25. i usually play on all madden , but because of the inability to adjust human sliders, i find that all madden and all pro do not give a "fair" experience when it comes to cpu coverage and pass rush. I played on slow a and normal, but for some reason i'm digging the animations that i'm seeing from the very slow setting.( especially the sideline cathes).

if i had to compare the demo for madden to ncaa, i would say madden is a lot more fun and polished( demo wise only). ncaa turned out to be a great game, and i expect madden to follow as well.

Gameflow is one of those things were you will have to devote an hour to game planning for every situation. Once you have the plays you want and have weighed them accordingly, you will be happy at how the game flows.

one thing people have not mentioned is how much better it is to audible this year.....it actually lets you scroll through the plays and it shows the play art for each play on the screen to give you a better idea of match ups and how the play relates to the current defense
