Sorry bro' -- the above was applicable every year up until M10. Much of what was implemented this past year came from many wishlists that you claim have been ignored, mine in particular for sure.

It's one thing to criticize Tiburon and staff for their shortcomings. But it's time to let go of all the outdated beefs that no longer fit the bill. They do listen, even if some things aren't implemented to our satisfaction.

I want them to stop worrying about authentic hand towels and start worrying about the gameplay. How about a working IR feature? How about being able to see where you drafted a player? How about an actual scouting system that needs to be used to draft properly? How about some tackle animations that go with the flow of the play? How about making it so the CBs don't make their cut before my WR does? What about fixing the CPU QB so they don't throw a flat route when its 4th and 15?

At least we have hand towels.

I agree.
They made Madden 10 better, just build on what we enjoyed and fix what needs to be fixed.
I've mentioned Dynamic Dna in the "Ratings Czar" thread, things like this and more improved presentation, locomotion/phyiscs, etc. Would really help make M11 "The Game".

They simply take a feature already in this years game and give it a catchy name like: Madden 11: "Field General" - make pre-snap adjustments. or Madden 11: "Become a Dynasty" - Play as the same team over and over and over again. or Madden 11: "Own the League" - Control every aspect of your team except for the ******* stadium music.

LMAO!

Madden sucked again. I got is free with the SI offer and have played a total of maybe 4 games since. The gameplay is so stale by now, it's the same game every year with new animations and a new feature here and there. At least NCAA Football lets you play D in a new way, Madden didn't even have that feature. Needs 1) new game engine, 2) new announcing booth, and 3) new presentation.

How long did you debate whether it should be "that" or "which"? I think you got it wrong.

Madden 10: The game that was never close.

I couldn't wait to use the online league since I had been paying for leaguedaddy.com and manually entering stats before this year. That mode was stripped of everything that makes a franchise. Caps, Salaries,trade logic, etc. By week 4, 5 of my long time league guys had quit madden all together.

The game on the field was only a modest improvement from 09. Lineman were spinning in circles, the pursuit angles made for at least a kick return a game and Pro-tak made for more glitching/morphing/sliding than ever before.

I also had to turn commentary off because I just couldn't stand one more minute of Tom Hammond and the new presentation included a whole two first down measurement animations so I knew if it was good or not when it started, but wasn't allowed to skip it.

By the time patch 2 dropped, I had had enough of this game. First time in 10 years I wasn't playing a football game at midseason.

NOONONONONONONONONONO.

The world is shrinking. Get out and join a community of gamers and interact with them. Get out of your own head and enjoy being a human.

PLEASE KEEP ALL THE FOCUS ON THE GAMEPLAY AND ONLINE FRANCHISE.

Those will be the biggest selling points in the future, near and far.
