Madden NFL 11 Blog: E3 Feature Announcement and Career Modes Update

[Exonerated]

They need to release surveys like NCAA did last year. NCAA did what everyone wanted and it looks maaad!

Madden added things no one asked for and which no one cares for.

[thekodinator]

effers.

i never thought i'd say this, but due to the recent news regarding ncaa's online dynasty and now this... ncaa might have finally surpassed madden.

What about, everybody I know doesn't touch it at all. Open up your minds, the world doesn't revolve around what YOU like. This community is very small compared to the general madden population I'm sure. Not buying 11 because of no additions to franchise correct? I bet ya'll lump lumps bought 10 didnt you? So I know for a fact you're lying with the "no buy for me" bullcrap, for the simple fact that if franchise is so important to you, and you played madden 10, there's absolutely no reason NOT to buy 11 because it does have SOME improvements to franchise. Read the article again if you missed it. Every year is going to be an improvement over the last year in pretty much all categories somehow someway. So if you dealt with 10s franchise mode, you'll most definitely deal with 11s because its GOING to be better. Oh and by the way I'm a heavy sim style franchise player myself, just a little more real than most of ya'll, lol. See you in the madden impressions thread after release.

no need to really get frustrated at people that legitimately frustrated with the choices of EA. online players want say their he majority, franchise players feel their the majority, is it really worth debating especially if their are polls stating otherwise...?

Madden 10 was the first Madden I got for next gen. I expected it to be everything from the old gen and then some. I played for a solid month, I admit it was good at first, but then franchise mode got old, online cheesers got old, AI cheating got old, etc. I let it sit for about 3 months because I thought the urge would come back (it didn't), then up and sold it.

Here's the thing. I don't NEED Madden. If Madden has what I want as a primarily Franchise gamer, I'd love to have it. But Madden 10 fell short of those expectations, and w/ Madden 11 admittedly not adding much to a gameplay area I play the most, there's no reason for me to spend my money on it when there's games like NBA 2k, Fifa, NBA Elite, etc actually making the effort to make serious improvements on a year to year basis. So no, it's not all lip service. For some of us this is a serious letdown, and just another case of the 'Wait til next year' mentality that has made EA/Tibs a parody of itself. You can fall for the hype train if you want, but this is one year where I will not.

What hype train? Last year at this time Madden had a hype score of like 9.5, this year it's 5.5, that should say something in it self. Mainly thatpeople are no longer falling victim to shallow promises of a better tomorrow, my self included. Literally a week ago I was a loyal suporter of Madden, and about 1000 feet from any cliff ledge. Now I am about a 1/2 inch from said cliff edge. The support after reading this latest blog has also dwindled to about %0.000001 of where it was last week at a sted fast %100.

Still no training camp! ill pass on buying Madden this year, and Ill probably wont buy another Madden until they get rid of canned animations or they put training camp back in Franchise. Im tired of saying ill give them one more chance, next years game will be the one, the fact of the matter is that Madden will basically be the same game until they ditch the old garbage engine, and they wont get another cent of my money until they do!

[SincerelYourz]

deeper????

Sufice it to say, that the 2k fan boys were probably right. [insert vometing animation here]
