I mean, have they never heard: "Once you put your hand to the plow, don't look back"? Careful EA Sports, you might turn into a pillar of salt! I don't know, maybe I was reading into that too much??? Anyways, I like that they have made an effort to cut down the game time.

This.

Don't try to make me believe it's a better product by telling me it is.Prove it.I don't really want to pull out an Xbox 1 game every year because I miss what a football game should REALLY be like.

They can't render their game properly, until they solve that problem it's never going to look as good. They tell us the game plays at 60 FPS, the first thing I learned with XNA was the separation of game logic and the drawing of the on screen graphics. This means the game may be playing at 60 FPS, but it's not being drawn at 60 FPS, which IMHO is what's going on. If you go into replay and view a replay, the animations are smooth as all get out, but if you play the game (M10) they are not rendered fluidly during actual gameplay.

I'm curious to see the numbers on Madden Arcade. I for one enjoyed the title because I could play a game in under 10 minutes. The fact of the matter is that if EA's going to grow the fan base and expand on online franchise, they will need to shorten the games. The average Madden game for me took approximately 45 minutes to complete. I guarantee I would play the game more if the can get me in and out of the experience in under 30 minutes.

Locomotion might look the same but everywhere you read they all say its something you have to feel for yourself, and its feels "just right". Not to mention in the NCAA hands on they stated that all the videos you've seen of madden isn't their latest build, and they've yet to release their newest build to the masses. There's still 3 and a half months before the games even comes out. I don't think gameplan is a gimmick, it adds personality to all the teams, and makes the cpu play like a real nfl team instead of blitzing 8 man on 3rd and 7. Theres alot we don't know about the game, give EA some credit, they built the foundation last year and now their continuing. As for Franchise, after seeing that video of Drew Brees wearinga suit "in Game" i think theirs def. some upgrades to franchise and some new off the field cut scenes that will bring the fun back into it.

Please,
Critiquing too early!!!! Whatever man.. Every year Madden has some outrages claims that their game is the best ever.. Every year there is something new.. Bottom line it's makeup... The core doesnt change.. I watched that trailer and said it's the same tired look.. Same movements... Same gameplay... I'm sorry but it's not changing.. Is the game bad??? No I'm not going there.. But I'm sorry.. Haven't paid/Bought Madden in years and I am not going to start this year.. I want other football options.. ..

I actually like their marketing this year better than last year which was way over the top. Last year expectations greatly outpaced the final product. I don't see that happening so far, mainly because a lot of folks are more skeptical year 2 into the new direction. I do find the Simpler, Quicker, Deeper marketing message to be, well, weak. Couple that with the GameFlow and Strategy Pad names, and the junior high kid in me could make jokes all day long.

I like the fact that everyone is dogging this game saying it looks the same. I bet these are the same guys that don't know the difference between HD and SD

I truly hope there's more for Madden 11 to offer then this.

I think that I will keep Madden 10.
