Just a few things i want to know about Madden 11 from Ian...

[ruffdhc]

1. What ways is EA correcting the sound in the game?(commentary, croud, hits)

2. What aspects of the realism will you add to madden 11 for in terms of trench play and blocking down field?

3. With the season mode, are there some more pre-game/post game items that was added to make the game ESPN realistic?

4. Will team overall be based off of (REAL) power rankings instead of sheer numbers?

5. Will the extra point still be in the game?(didn't care to much for)(liked the set up that ESPN NFL 2K5 had with all the interaction and game highlight/replays)

Haha bro if you had been watching these videos the last few days. Ian said right now he can't talk about other modes. Alot of stuff is still been kept secret for now. As soon as the marketing department gives Ian permission to talk. He will give us a blog on this stuff. For now Ian ain't saying nothing. Also bro you really want get no answer from Ian on here no more. Because he is stayin clear from here because what happen last year. But you will get answers in due time through blogs and interviews. For now just enjoy the info we have gotten so far.

I'm not Ian, but I'll help you out here.

1&2: Be patient, I'm sure there will be blogs on these. They won't release the info until they want to.

3: If anything, it'd be NFL Network realistic. Again, presentation blog hasn't come yet...So I guess still be patient.

4: That would make no sense, because power rankings are just as objective as team ratings. If Donny or whoever were to do the rankings is biased at all, the ratings become skewed, more than already.

5: See #3.

Here's what I have read / seen in vids so far:

• It's supposed to be more reactive.
• Custom team chants (was supposed to be in last year).
• Crowd is wearing appropriate clothing like team jerseys of their favorite (star) players.
• Dynamic attendance based on popularity, and whether you are winning / losing (if you are losing, folks start filing out early).

Very little information on this other than they are supposed to go to the next level better on run blocking, meaning you won't see a guy running to the side to block a player 15 yards away when theirs another player 3 yards in front of him you need a lead block on.

I think it's using NFL Network, not ESPN banners. NCAA has deep ESPN customization however.

By the way, as a heads up, hey Ian threads violate the forum rules.
