All I could ask myself was...what happened? From what I can see, it's not as good as Madden 9 or 10. The player figures are small, I have a 40 inch led 120hz tv and could barely make out the players. The Strategy Pad, what were they thinking? GameStop's not gonna be happy (not that I really care) an hour from now cause I'm going to get my $ back. Mabe this has somthing to do with the players union and the leauge not having a CBA contract in place for next year. These are same people that made NCAA 11 with the same exclusive contract as the NFL...is it because there may be a player lockout next year so they trashed Madden this year? We know for a fact the NCAA will have football next year, and look at their game, almost flawless...hmmmm!

LoL

to say Madden 11 isn't as good as Madden 10 is funny to me, because it's basically the same game with some good tweaks. But I bet money you don't go get your money back. I bet you end up buying the game like everyone else

MrCheese - it's the same game in most respects but as I pointed out there are some things Madden 10 does better, for instance it has no strategy pad, the computer doesn't call its plays for you out of the box, the camera isn't zoomed out so far the players look like ants and the rushing game isn't overpowered.

Now with that being said I am comparing Madden 10 retail to Madden 11 demo but that's all I have to go on right now. If given the choice between those two though I'd take Madden 10 I think...

I am amazed how much the CPU throws Revis' way.

You know one other thing that I disliked that I forgot to include is the amount of warping that the WRs do to the ball. In the 2 games I played I saw several times where the WR warped to the ball. I thought this was supposed to finally be fixed this year??

Overall I dont think I like this years version of Madden. It seemed a bit of run and gun, maybe it was just the demos settings. In comparison of the two systems.

360 lighting was better, gameplay was smoother.

PS3 lighting alot darker, during replays I noticed framerate problems. I wonder if its just my PS3 though.

Everything else seemed about the same in comparison.

This, I can't tell if the person in the middle is the linebacker/safety or the ref. On defense it's even worse because i usually play safety and shadow crossing routes but the camera is so far back i can't see them. I guess i will have to get used to it but the camera from ncaa is perfect on both sides of the ball

Is this the truth?

I always got a kick out of your impressions OD.
