I second that. I just played Madden 10 yesterday, and watching this is like reliving that game. NOTHING about this game has me excited, and that's terrible because I buy Madden every year.

Yes the guy playing was a total cheese player ( putting in Smith because he is faster than Flaco) but still this game looks just like 10. There is NO WAY they should charge full price for this...how long was this game in development?

Your telling me that they have been working on this game right after 10 was released???

I think not.

My biggest problem with it, is that the animations all appear to be the same with guys still jumping onto the pile like they're Jimmy Superfly Snuka jumping off the top rope with a flying elbow:

Stuff like that... it just kills the mood.

I thought the jumping on the pile animations were funny, shows intensity.

I commend Ian and crew for the work they did on M10. It was a huge improvement, and a great start to improve the game. I actually still play it now, which is rare...

However, no offense, but I'm just not feeling it this year. All these vids------all resemble what we saw last year at E3. In other words, it doesn't seem to be a huge step forward, more like sideways.

Yes, adding Gus was great news, until I heard his in-game audio. Sounds like he just read the exact same lines as Hammond, but added his own flair to them. Still going to get repetitive and boring, I'm sorry to say.

I don't want to list all the negatives I see and start anything. But, it really doesn't seem that much different than M10, and I hate saying that, as I know you guys take pride in what you do, and work hard from one release to another.

I understand that locomotion is hard to guage by watching videos. I need to play the game to feel the improvement. In playing the NCAA demo, I've gotten a small taste of it, and it is a good thing.

But I'm afraid I'm passing on M11. I just feel like if I update my M10 rosters, I'll have the same game. (Which I've done already).

Again, not meaning to call out the devs or anything, just stating how I personally feel. Add the fact that franchise is practically untouched, and the halftime show and Extra Point appear to be removed and not expanded upon, and I'm just disappointed.

Peace....

You do have a point about the funny part. It made me chuckle the first time I seen it. Now after having seen it 1,000 times and realizing that it's the only cut scene for it, that chuckle has quieted and been replaced with silent dejection.

Where is the halftime and extrapoint show they showcased last year at E3????

MAN, your summed up my feelings, and I'm noticing more and more posts echoing that sentiment. The sad part is, I'm easy... I'm really, really easy. I want to be wooed, EA. I enjoyed '10 and want to buy Madden '11, but there's nothing compelling for me. Wheras I feel like NCAA is working to earn my money. They just have more stuff that appeals to me like a dynasty mode that feels alive, ESPN integration, progessive lighting and formation subs...

I haven't seen any indication of a different Madden interface. Why is it that after spending a year working on gameplay and ignoring franchise, you can't do something simple like adding formation subs to give us a little more customization? I have no doub that a lot of hard work and long hours have gone into locomotion and the other online stuff they're hanging their hat on, it's just that the results thus far, have felt piss poor.

Hopefully, I've missed the formation sub integration, but from all of the main menus and options that I've seen scrolled through, it's nowhere to be found.

I didn't read all 11 pages so this may have already been asked and answered, if not, why do the players feet make imprints in the snow but when they are tackled their bodies do not?
