When does the Exclusive License expire????

Two things:

1. I think the spin move in Madden either needs to be taken out or its effectiveness taken WAY, WAY down. Players just don't use spin moves to avoid tackles even remotely as frequently as it happens in Madden... not even remotely. Something needs to be done here... maybe make spins nearly impossible to pull off in general, and then moreso for players that normally don't do them like Brandon Jacobs... something.

2. The GameFlow feature is a great idea. As you can extract from the video, I think they're looking at it as a feature for the casual, but this concept also fits a very sim mentality in my opinion. I'm hoping this feature will have a number of customization options for its visual presentation. I can't stress enough how important it is to sell things to the user visually... this is an approach Madden team has struggled with mightily for 2 generations now.

Agreed! Bunch of guys making a buying decision after a 1 minute teaser video from a game that doesn't ship for almost 4 months...

i think it will end up being very strategic . you can set everything up yourself or go with they have programmed , which probably translates into franchise of teams have gameplans and tendancies. hopefully means scouting

LOL @ people saying BB will "blow Madden out of the water". This is going to be a good game just like M10 was. Also about presentation, I am hopeful that they just used M10 layouts on top of M11 so they wouldn't blow the network presentation announcement later on.

They have to fix the O-line/D-Line though. QBs should not be able to roll and chuck w/o getting clobbered by a D-end. Running animations were improved in my opinion. I want to see the defense get an overhaul. It always seems that everything is for the offense. I need more options on D to counteract the over-powered offenses.

Meh, I wasn't impressed or depressed about the trailer.

Just didn't get a wow factor at this time.

Seems to be enough tightening up to do between now and July.

What I'm saying though is how I don't get people putting final impressions of the game (the features it will have, how the players will interact with each other through out the whole game, etc.). so soon. That's all. If you do it then I could really care less but all I'm saying is that I don't get it.

All of the features of the game haven't been said yet and some are acting like gameflow will be the only change when it obviously won't be.

Also, another question, what if a full 4 qtr game video that they show in the future looks better than the 15-20 sec. of gameplay we see here?

Will the guys that say Madden 11 will be the "same crap" change their tune?

Anyways did anyon else notice the score of the game? Wonder what difficulty level they were playing on...

Is it just me or does it looked like they pulled the camera back similar to the old PS2 days? When the QB drops back to pass you can see the entire field now, including the flats out of the back field on both sides...

I dont recall having that view when passing in Madden 10.
