Madden NFL 11 Video Blog is Live, Post Your Impressions Here

[Bonee]

I only play online-games (in a league, not EASO).

I think the game speed on M10 is pretty good when it comes to the ground attack but when it comes to O-Line/D-Line action on a passing play M10 feels to slow. The QB gets too much time to read the D and throw the ball which makes the passing on M10 much too easy at times.

I like playing M10 in my league a lot but the guys doing M11 may need to change the O-Line/D-Line actions in the game. There needs to be an invention that makes the line-play more realistic while getting "real" pockets or double attack/blocking. Even though M10 made some steps in the right direction there is still suction blocking, stupid blocking AI on a run (at times) and no realistic pass-rush timing for a QB to get into trouble.

I also think there should be a "set QB's feed" button giving your QB a better accuracy when throwing. I can not do a real QB stand when manually doing the 3-5 step dropback. The QB just sets up his feed like he should when I let the CPU make the QB dropback after the snap.

John taylor the technical/art designer seemed like he didn't give flying a **** about madden.

Im going to school with a buddy who is game designer and he told me in the gaming field industry nobody gives a **** about sports gaming and if i were to show him this video he would laugh and say I told you so. The only guy who seemed to cares was the guy who did the ratings. Show some passion guys.

You know.. I have been really critical of Ian in the past, but after watching this video, and seeing part of the team behind Madden, I am left with the impression that Ian is really surrounded by a group of uninspired guys.

Donny seemed very credible and enthusiastic which is cool, but other than that, this video did nothing to show me that this Madden will be any different than previous years..

Maybe Ian just caught these guys on an off day, but most of them seemed like they were sleeping, and totally not interested.

I totally agree with this.

Ian worked from the bottom up from what I understand . . .

Thanks for the video.

I enjoyed Madden NFL 10, but I do agree that the animations and such need to be much more fluent and natural looking
(especially in the passing and blocking game).
