Madden NFL 11 Demo Available Now, Please Post Impressions Here

Small thing but check out what happens when you play Colts vs Colts or Jets vs Jets. Collinsworth talks about cloning.

But the more notable thing is not that they bothered to record dialogue for if you play with the same team but that there's multiple takes. When I did Colts vs. Colts, they said completely different things in the beginning than when I did Jets vs. Jets.

does anyone else think that the demo is clunky...sure it looks pretty but i swear it ran smoother on my ps2 from 2004...hope this isnt the final product.

LOL...I've played about 9 games thus far and in every single one, Bob Sanders comes up lame at some point.

It takes more time to do less. It feels like you have to click more buttons, to make less happen. I have no idea what kind of a parodoxical world they wanted to create, when making the game faster with GameFlow, then slowing it right back down with the "strategy pad." For me, this has made the demo absolutely unplayable.

i agree exactly with u on every point

God I hope the game is far more polished than this. The play art is downright ugly, it's almost impossible to set up your offense or defense with the "strategy" pad, and running out in open field is boring. It's boring because you can't cut back. I thought their approach this year was complete control with the left stick...you can't stutter step, you can't make a quick cut, the running game in open field seems completely off. NCAA's demo seems a lot more polished and is a lot more fun. And their approach to play calling makes tons more sense.

Also, personally I think they should just make the game normal speed. I think that they should get rid of the speed sliders because it just makes the game seem like it's not finished and they're depending on us to complete the job. That was all good last year, but I think they should've upped the anti this year. I'm going to redownload it and see if I can get accustomed to it, but my first impression is that madden is a pass this year...again.

you cut back and make your moves using the r-stick. You can lean, cut, juke, spin, etc...using the right analog stick.

played my first overtime game. Beat the Colts 13-10. Scored 10 pts in the 4th quarter to tie the game and then won the toss in OT, and kicked a field goal on the opening drive and left a minute on the clock. The Colts drove down but I was able to get to Manning with around 30 seconds to go on a key 3rd down from my 40 yard line. After that, they had to try and heave one deep and get out of bounds, but Revis knocked the pass away from Gonzalez.

I like the new OT rules.

I hope they slow it down because it seems to move to fast for me at least
