If someone can let me know if you can do it then that would be great, but it would be great if you could add substitutions into the gameflow, so say if I wanted to use Tomlinson on 2nd and 2, and Greene on 2nd and 5, I could do it.

Madden 11 is by far the best in the series!!

Some thoughts:

- The game looks/play just like Madden 10
- Strategy Pad is absolutely terrible and whoever came up with that should be promptly fired.
- Running animations are a lot better
- Running the ball seems a lot more forgiving and fair
- Passing is great
- Gameflow is nice, but looks like a feature that could have taken a few weeks to build

When you play this demo, you think "What the hell could have possibly taken a year to produce?"

Seems like a few months of work.

They need to revamp and retool. It's not like they have some incredible, hands off product like NHL and FIFA.

I played on Pro for one game and got some great blocking, but then I played with the Colts earlier and couldn't run at all, despite establishing the pass. Contrasting that with the NCAA 11 demo, I was playing that on the same difficulty (All-American?), and the running was really nice. There was a great balance there, which at the moment isn't in M11. On Pro it was slightly (not too) easy to run, but then on All-Pro it was impossible. That's not me being dramatic, because I was doing HB Dives up the middle and getting stopped almost before I even got to the trenches. On only one occasion did I have the time to even try to break a tackle and get a decent gain. I'm not wanting to get 200 yards rushing every game, just a decent balance, and more consistent blocking (as opposed to consistently bad) would be good. The same applies to kick and punt returns as well.

It seems people are having trouble running the ball on All Pro.

Are there sliders in the demo and did anyone mess with them?

Perhaps that can fix it.

running the ball on all pro w the jets is easy for me but not as easy w the colts...thats realistic i guess

Same for me slick589. I was able to rush just fine with the jets but struggled to rush very well with the colts. Seemed fine to me in that respect.

Yeah that is realistic.

Did you mess with the sliders if any?
