Looks like I'll be renting Madden 11 and sticking with FOF 2007 and Backbreaker to get my football fix.

Another non-Madden purchase year for me. Back to NCAA 11....

I agree with you on this 100%.

I am skipping buying madden 11. I am not excited about this year's game. Maybe the reviews will tell me something different, but I doubt it.

this doesn't sound good?

I'm still buying but this roundtable pretty much confirms that Madden is back to being lazy. And why not Backbreaker sucks and 2K turned in their man card.

Well the Human D Pass rush can be tuned a little in a patch along with tuning the AI QB a little bit not to get rid of the ball every little time you get near him to sack him. Both of these can be patched if enough people complain about to EA before the first patch.

For MAdden11, all they (EA) needed to do was add GAMEFLOW as a DLC to MADDEN10; charge us $10, and continue with the adaptation of real time physisc to Madden12. if you have played NCAA11 and have run the ball with this locomotion thing; you still see alot of those cheesey break tackle moves from Madden10; and you can take this to the bank that Madden11 has the same. No really new innovation for Madden11. Ncaa11 looks great, because they always run a year behind Maddens engines. This year, they are on even par; Telling me, next year is going tobe the big year for Madden. Get ready to be disappointed in Madden11. Watch all those videos from E3, and they all look pretty much like Madden10; except 'gameflow', with sprinkles of locomotion. Remember, locomotion is only played on offense; everything else is the exact same.

Obviously a lot of this quote is wrong, but this part especially, i'm not sure if you can even speak for Ncaa as apparently you haven't played. Lol at the Madden forums, c'mon people.

Check out the bad angles and arm tackles, how does locomotion not make a big difference?

i got a very negative vibe reading these impressions. it feels like you two are holding back for some reason. like, holding back a lot of "i don't like this game" type of stuff. i'm going to shelve these impressions and see what people think of the final product.

# 71 blklightning @ 07/24/10 03:07 AM

where can i see vids of this shopmaster guy playing the demo? or was it a live feed?

It was a live stream, but he recorded it. He played 2 games.

So glad I picked NCAA this year. No stale madden for me.

Same here.

The impressions lead me to believe even more that I made a good choice in getting NCAA and skipping Madden this year.

I'm in that same boat too. I agonized over it. If I hadn't found that $20 off deal on Dell.com I'd still be at a loss. But I haven't looked back. I looked for any reason, just one compelling reason to drop $60 on Madden and for the life of me, I still can't find one. All of the videos I have seen from Madden has looked like more of the same and the early demo review confirms it. I mean, the pass rush is still ineffective, how does is that still happening?

Its time everybody starts showing EA who boss. By you not purchasing the game its sending a message to EA. We are not going to take this crap you release to us. You removed features like mud on the uniform, field getting mess up.Also we can't Change the size and shapes of the players models. EA you have not incorporated any new technology like Euphoria technology.Last year you started to make a really good effort Ian Cummings was on this form all the time. It was the first time I ever seen a Dev keep the customers informed in what he is doing. This year I haven't seen one thread from Ian Cummings, he used to respond to people posting. Now there is no connection. I just feel that they should just have a open form and talk about Madden 12. I will not pay for something that looks the same from last year. I can just update the roster. No 80 man rosters in franchise yet for preseason ?

# 78 rooney8 @ 07/24/10 08:29 AM

From reading that I get the impression gameflow and locomotion in Madden is a bust. That would be a disaster for the game.

# 79 jpdavis82 @ 07/24/10 09:49 AM

Just play the demo guys and see what you think after that. I was really disappointed after reading the impressions on here, but after watching shopmaster play the demo I can't wait to play it on Tuesday and August 10th can't come soon enough!!!

# 80 MCNABB51BOI @ 07/24/10 01:21 PM

NCAA locomotion is like playing NFL STREET i hope madden is the same as last year
