Madden NFL 11 Demo Available Now, Please Post Impressions Here

[rckabillyRaider]

just tried the ps3 demo. I liked it but something is just not right. I can't really figure it out. What I did notice right away is the beginning cut scene where Manning is getting off the bus and his head is abnormaly too small for his body. lol.

Also, why are the majority of the fans all wearing colts colors in Jets stadium? Those are just nit picky stuff though. However, it feels like the animations take longer to play out thus rendering you stuck in that animation.

I do like the game flow feature, and everything else overall. I'll purchase it just cuz I'm a NFL fan, but it's not wowing me. I was more excited last year.

You know, the more I play it, the more...incomplete it feels I guess. I just am going to see what people I trust say about full retail, if it's fun I'll get it

Looks like a heavy dose of sliders would be needed on All-Pro to tighten up the User passing game.

This is my biggest problem with the game. Well that and the terrible zone defense. So many other good things, but these 2 things are making it a rental.

Another thing is that the game simply doesn't look polished AT ALL.

This is in terms of animations. Everything seems choppy and off. In fact, pretty much all of cut-scenes and such are about the quality of Madden NFL 10 (which were also very choppy).

I know it's better than nothing, but after playing other PS3 games like Uncharted 2, MW2, God of War III, Assassin's Creed II etc, Madden is just a joke when it comes to graphics.

They need to smooth things out and make it crisper. Hell, just go into a replay in the demo and you can see how choppy and almost "blurry" the game looks. The level of detail is really crappy when you get to the nitty gritty, while other games now-a-days are pushing the consoles to their limits. And it's just not a "sports game thing" to have crappy textures. NBA 2K11 and MLB The Show look exceptional.

ever since i turned auto sprint off and bumped the game speed up to fast i'm starting to enjoy the game more, it doesn't feel as sluggish.

My question is, IF you have the headset on do you still see the text?

Yes, you do.

It was only one game, of a demo no less, so this probably doesn't mean squat other then keep watch, but the gameflow didn't seem all that intuative (I was the Colts, BTW). First, my co-ordinator liked the pass. I mean, REALLY liked the pass. Called it 18 straight times, in fact. And the situation didn't seem to play in as much as it should have. I should not be running crossing patterns with 20 seconds to go in the half and 60 yards to go for the score. Now, when it got late and I led , he did start to call for the run. On my last drive, I had three straight rushes bringing my grand total for the game up to 4 rushes and 22 passes. But again, just one game...
