Madden NFL 11 Demo Available Now, Please Post Impressions Here

[KING RAINS]

Alright, i'm not sure if anybody else feels the same way but I was not too impressed.


Before the ball is snapped the crowd is dead quite, then once it's snapped they start cheering. It just doesn't deliever an actual football atmosphere.

I thought gameplay was to slow and everyone seemed about even speed

My biggest problem is the broken tackles, I was playing my friend on All-Pro and he is constantly breaking 1-2 tackles with Mark Sanchez on rollouts. He even did a fake punt and ran for the first with his punter after breaking a Dwight Freeney tackle.

But all in all, if they fix these things then the game will be great as always, that's just my 2 cents.

I've been really hard on Madden since it hit next gen systems.
I sold Madden 10 a week after I bought it. Rented 09, 08 and 07.
So typing this is strange for me. I have to admit. I am liking this demo.
No, the game isn't perfect. But this is by far the best football I've played this generation. I think EA is on the right track.

I'm sorry but I don't see anything wrong with the strategy pad. Having everything on basically one button just makes sense to me. All they need to do is patch how quickly the computer snaps the ball and I'll be happy.

I got to play the demo more over the weekend, and I've got to say that I'm really looking forward to the retail version. I know I'm in the minority here, but I like the way the game "feels" even better than NCAA. IMO, the controls are a little tighter than NCAA and the game "feels" a lot better with the locomotion animations than Madden 10. I do not have a problem with a lot of the issues that people have brought up re: strategy pad, kick/punt returns, kick meter, franchise (lack of) updates.

Does anyone find kick returns way too easy? I was hoping they would make them a little harder after the absurdity of Madden 10 with regards to kick returns. I get a kick return TD almost every game and I've played on both All-Pro and All-Madden.

Not the big upgrade I was hoping for, but there are some cool things about the game -- like finally getting the font right on the names on the teams' jerseys.

Still feels like im playing on ice...after all these years. Not sure ill spend the money on it this year. Not much different than last year. Same ole same ole.

[CSL]

New level of ridicule for me personally with the ridiculous speed the opposing D gets to your QB. Just had Mark Sanchez not even have time to hand the ball off to Greene on a dive play before getting sacked. Even more infuriating watching the replay and seeing a big fat hole open up exactly where Greene was supposed to run through.

They have got tho fix this kinda stuff.
after all these years...they have the money why not do it...this guys right.
