Madden NFL 11 First Look Video Preview

The running looks TERRIBLE!! Look at how they turn...or should I say, slide to the new direction. It's like the pivot point is 5 yards behind them. Their axis of revolution isn't inside their body at all. Just a terrible animation.

Madden went from "ah, maybe I'll look at it" to "ah, maybe I'll look at NCAA" now.

What a joke this series has become....

Until I get my hands on the game, none of these videos mean much...the blogs, however, those are different.

nice collision detection.....

that was sarcasm in case you couldn't tell

wow, did this game really get worse?

I liked the sideline catch at the end and a couple of the jukes.

Oh, and I definitely liked how easy it was for receivers to get open in the flats on most of those plays. I was hoping they'd make that easier, considering how difficult it was in '10.

Gameplay looks horrible. Looks like a damn hockey game out there. It's hard to even get excited about Madden anymore.

I had this issue too. But to fix this, click in the bottom right hand corner on SD to take it off of HD. When in high def, most computers can't handle it, so that is why it skips. Did anyone notice the different lengths of dread locks? I know a lot of people bitch about that, so it looks like they've added some varying lengths. I thought it looked pretty good myself, just ready to see NEW gameplay footage with the new lighting system. You can still tell in those pictures the lighting system has not been applied yet.

This video may be old, but it's the engine that I never liked. I don't think I will ever be pleased with a Madden game (Madden NFL '98 still gets playing time from me, but Madden 10 would not if I had a copy of it).

Holy crap, am I the only one who thought that looked way too fast? The players all moved at warp speed and they didn't look like they had any weight to them. The problem that madden has had since it debuted on the next gen systems is the unrealistic physics used in the game engine.

I think the reason its so glaring is because in other games, even in other genres, they have nailed a consistent and accurate physics system.
