Madden NFL 11 Screenshots and First Details (IGN)

[Hova57]

so after sleeping on it the information was interesting. what i hope is when the recievers goes after the ball he doesn't run back five yards. also will this enable us to direct the ball more so you can throw the ball to the ground and reciever will scoop it. or on fade your ball will have an arc for the player to go up and get it. also maybe this debug tool will count awareness in it also so not all recievers will be able to make the sideline catch.

I had to do the same actually ...in order for me to appreciate them placing some focus on this area. Throwing to the sidelines has been almost been non-existent b/c the AI is too dumb. Hopefully this shores this up, and will impact the 2 minute drill.

And Madden 10's screens looked really really good last year.

I liked what Ian had to say. I just hope they come through on their promises this year. In Madden 10, there still is no noticeable variation in player run take-offs. They just seem to go from 0 to full speed in a nanosecond.

I wish I could be as excited for Madden 11 as others are here, but I've been burned for the past five years. This year, I will not be buying Madden 11 off the shelf. I will wait for a used copy. They usually start rolling in about 2 or 3 days later.

Yooo.. I was hype as hell to log onto OS to see "Madden 11 Screenshots and first details"..... Until I viewed the pics and said "UGHH WTF"!

First off I will buy the game Day 1 so there is no arguing with that.

Second...Why show the same wack animation that was in Madden 08-10 "Rocket tackle". Don't give me that "Ugh the defender is playing the ball more aggressively this year". THAT SAME ANIMATION WAS IN MADDEN 08-10!!!! If you re-worked a certain aspect of the game then PLEASE don't show us the same ugly animation from previous years!!!

Im not a graphics nut but after seeing Backbreaker I would've thought EA would atleast make the grass look a bit more realistic. We are on the 6th iteration of Madden on Next Gen consoles and not much has changed regarding graphics. Hopefully the physics and animations are top notch this year. Only thing I've wanted from Next Gen consoles but EA has not delivered on that as of yet.

Im just tired of the same s*** each year....Last year we were promised sideline catches,specific stadium sounds, etc... and when the game came out they were nowhere to be found.... REMEMBER THIS???

S***!...The CPU can throw a bullet pass and I can click on the defender and press L2 and strafte in 1 second to pick the ball off without ever seeing the ball. The CPU does that aswell....I never saw that technology work in Madden 10!

2nd!!..WR/DB JOSTLING!!

"Adding these animations also allowed us the ability to call more realistic pass interference penalties. We've added a lot of variety that ranges from minor hand-fighting to severe push-offs and holds, so now we can make sure that pass interference gets called in a much more accurate manner. We're using the man coverage rating of the defender to determine how well he keeps the WR in check and how often he gets penalized. "

ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!... Your lucky to see 1 Pass Interference call in 30 games...

Like I've said before I will buy this game day 1 because I am a biiiggg madden fan but I am TIRED TIRED TIRED!!!!. I still think having David Ortiz lead Next Gen consoles was the biggest factor in why we are still lacking specific features in the madden series. The framework was broke from the gate so it takes ALOT of work to get it back up to speed.

I agree 100% and I think we speak for 90% of the madden community.

I'm quite surprised with how news about a feature that will more than likely help the game can bring such animosity.

After seeing the Boldin picture I think it is safe to say Madden will be another huge disappointment. There is nothing real about Melvin Bullet being 5 feet up in the air barely grabbing onto Boldin. Another year of Space like animations GREATTTTTTTTT!!!!!

Yeah... I mean it isn't like the game is still greatly being worked on or anything like that
