To me M11 plays like NCAA 11 but feels different, if that makes sense.

It does to me. Its like Ian and the NCAA team took similar approaches, and then gave them a distinct college/NFL feel. There is a difference, and to me that's a positive

I really like this game, just feels good to me. Defintely getting Madden 11.

It looks like Madden has the same psychic man coverage DBs as NCAA. I only played 2 games of the demo but it appeared that they might be worse in Madden.

I hope EA patches the psychic man coverage in both games soon because it is an offline game killer for me. Next year they need separate man and zone coverage sliders.

That's not a bad idea, if it could be implemented properly... It may something that breaks more than it fizes at the present time... But its been there so long, I bet its a difficult fix

I agree. I'm also getting the feeling that just like NCAA, once we get the retail version it will cut down on some of the excess sliding I've seen and tightening everything up.

Also I think I'm going to hate teams that blitz a lot even more this year. I can't play with the Colts on this demo.

... I think that were going to really tell the difference between teams this year... That's what gameflow is to me... The part were seeing of revamped playcall ai. I may be wrong but I'm excited.

I remember when madden first switched to team specific playbooks way back when... I thought itd be horrible,lol. I remember that when I complain about changes before giving them a chance lol... I'm excited but still not a first day purchase for me. Is it for you?

Getting Madden 11.

I'm an offline player so I candeal with learning the strategy pad.

Locomotion means a lot with the forcefields and sliding. Sliding happens but not as often as previous versions to pull your hair about.

NOTE: This demo is not the final build so some people should stop bitching about sliding since the NCAA 11 demo had sliding everywhere while the retail had it minimal.

Also, I do hope they fix the franchise stats... I do not want 20 HBs with 1,500 yards rushing and crap QBs like Delhomme passing 4,000 yards with 50 TDs like the previous version. PLEASE FIX THAT EA
