I can already tell you that the strategy pad for Defense going to be a problem. Unless you are very quick thinker and have quick hands. You will not be able to adjust hardly any postion like shifting LBers are DBs before the AI snaps the ball. You just don't have time do that. But with the offense it is not so bad. The D is the main problem with Strategy. But other then that the game is good is so far. I hope EA will patch the Strategy problem and make easier to do alignment setup on D.
For those in the UK and Europe, it's out now for us as well. We missed the M10 demo.
I wondered why they missed us out last year, even though they released the game over here Downloaded it on my US account though, just glad they've remembered us this time!
First Play of madden 11 is a 80 yard draw by Joseph Addai!! HAHAHA SUCK IT!! lol. I like the game I won 38-0. I like the way I can run the ball a lot easier. It seems like they keep slowing it down the past couple years and it has a more realistic feel to it. The old spice wam bam there you go man!!! Or something like that made me laugh really hard. After a couple weeks I wont ever notice it but I'm sure my friends will laugh when they hear it when I'm playing madden!! It's pretty funny. I like the Jets new stadium, I like there big screens!! I think theres 2 in every corner.
Fg kicking took me a couple times to get used to it.
The d-pad you use for evereything now for offense and defense when audibleing. The J-e-t-s- Jets jets jets chant was awesome to hear! I like the catches on the sideline. I myself like running the ball and I think this year more people will be able to run the ball because you got a lot of running plays that work. It looks better and feels better. No complaints there. I havent found anything except the kicking and the d-pad that make me mad so far.
Was disappointed in gameflow on offense. It seemed to keep calling streaks and the same 4 plays. I didn't like the new d-pad alignment shifts/audibles/etc, but i might warm up to it. I played on All-Pro as the Colts. Running was stupid easy but passing was a little more difficult, and I blame the playcall it seemed like you could spin or juke around anyone with Addai. Not a bad demo. Loved the lighting changes. Won 14-7. Excited for the full game.
this game needs to be played on normal. they need to give us the option to choose gamespeeds online cuz slow is downright terrible. it doesn't take an nfl player a full 2 seconds to run 10 yds.
I couldn't find the link on this, but i think the servers are down for maintenance every Tues morning...Dunno how long, i just know that I'm usually up, and they're usually down...hope thats good enough
