After consistent runs I am nervous to call any PA as I am usually sacked. Like someone touched upon in one of the reviews, part of this is with the user view. By the time the WR HUD is up, it often too late for me to make any good decisions.

Well in the demo I didn't have that much trouble getting sack when doing PA. The AI would get to me sometimes when I did PA. But most of the time my Oline pretty much did their job blocking the AI long enough for me to find a WR or throw it away. PA on madden 11 demo is no where near as bad as it is in ncaa 11. In NCAA 11 when you do a PA. Most of the time the AI will be right on top of you ready to sack you before the aniamation is done for you to throw it. So I would take madden 11 demo PA over NCAA PA any day of the week. But like Chris said in his review. This is something that can be patched if EA finds it been a hugh problem with fans complaining about it.

im not following ncaa 11 is the best football game ever but madden 11 is trailing it but only slightly and it's the best madden ever, is that what he/you said?

Great review, I own NCAA 11 and played the finished version of Madden 11 over a week now. (I have connections) and I must agree with Chris NCAA is far better an experience than Madden 11. I agree with your evaluation of the Franchise Modes - stale and out dated. I do like the additions - Crowd chants, Coordinator cams, replay cams (although NCAA has better reply cams in my opinion), surprise there was no half time show? 2K had the full presentation package why can't Madden?

Great review but if you want the best on the field gameplay pop in APF 2k8..

I knew how I felt about the game a few minutes into my first game... well gameplay any way. I know what I'm looking for, so it doesn't take long to see if it's there or not.

I can see needing a little more time for franshise, online play, ect, but 2 weeks? Why so?

This series is like a broken record whose needle has been skipping since 2005.. Over haul it,

As an nfl fan , this game is a no brainer only because there are no other nfl games to buy! LONG LIVE NCAA..
