Madden NFL 11 Hands-On Impressions (OS)

[Critical Kills]

No, that'll be in there, the question is will it work right? With such a huge change there is a really good chance the game could be fatally flawed due to its introduction.

Do not criticize Madden. OS will suspend your account.

I don't think it will be fatally flawed, because I believe they have been working on this locomotion engine for at least 2 development cycles. They said it's been in the works for a while, and I'm willing to bet that the CD guys experienced the new locomotion engine in it's first year of development. Which is why you heard all of this stuff about how the game had momentum, etc. last year.

I think its hard to tell. EA on next gen has always been 1 step forward 1/2 a step back. Locomotion may be great but something else that worked last year could very well be broken. I do appreciate that the big headline is locomotion because I think that is directed straight toward the die-hards here. Locomotion is not sexy and attractive to a general audience but to us its an awesome starting point.

Personally though, I could pass on this one. There is way too much real life football that's left out that's intricate to the game and has been in before and has since been taken away for me to mark my calendar for Madden.

I think EA put 2 years into locomotion given that it WAS in last year's game at CD. That's good news for us.

Sigh. I wasn't interested at all in M11 until I read this article. Now, it looks like I grab up the walmart preorder with the $20 gift card.
