Madden NFL 11 Demo Available Now, Please Post Impressions Here

[ryan36]

I ran an entire drive w no passes. Scored a td w the jets. On pro no sliders...that shouldn't happen even on rookie.

You know this game IS imrpoved but I don't think the demo reflects it like it could.

The more I'm playing the more I get used to locomotion, but my wr still stop on a dime near the sideline... So it seems like we have locomotion with no momentum... Still gonna get the game but more focus toward realistic weight shifts would be nice

As far as the INTs go that happens at time if you let the CPU do the work but if you gofor the pick manually you rarely see it unless the player your using catching is low. DR on the Jets gets too many for me even if I dont control him so it could be a matter of the player.

that's why they have more than one difficulty setting. i get a lot of user drops, too. maybe i'm just unlucky. but user or not, they shouldn't drop the ball as often as they do. and a pick should be a pick. just because i press a button, that shouldn't make the chance for an interception higher. that concept just sounds ridiculous to me.

Wow.

1. Saw a three man tackle near the goaline last night.

2. Same game, saw a WR go up stride for stride and catch the ball in mid-air while being tackled around the waist.

Catching debug tool is working nice.

Umm, yes it should. 1. you were on Pro, 2. Indy has a crappy run defense. 3. Jets have an excellent running game.

Would you really prefer the CPU throwing 7 or 8 INTs every game?

In general though, if you are talking about real life, defensive players drop A LOT of sure interceptions, every game. There is a saying in Football. If such and such defensive player could catch, he'd be playing on offense.

Not trying to apologize for the game. They should catch more than they do for sure, but anyone that thinks that every time a defender has a chance to make an interception, he should... well that isn't close to the case with real life.

But again, I agree, they do drop a few too many in the game.

The main reason for that is because of the passes being tethered to the receiver. You almost never see passes in the dirt. or out of bounds, or so far over someone's head that no one can get to it. Probably 95% of all passes have the opportunity for either the offensive player or defensive player, to make a play on it. With that high and unrealistic amount of passes touching either teams hands, they have to control the frequency of interceptions some how. Dropping them is the only way.

Yet another example of why the passing game needs to be overhauled.

Thats the exact way I feel.

I guess the animations, or basically the way the DB's play, they make a different play on the ball.

As much as I love Madden, that very may well be the case.
