In my opinion this is the best madden since madden 05. I reading and all these people are writing that ncaa is better than madden, ncaa is great and fun but from the demo of madden its exactly what people have been crying about for 4 years. The good players play to that caliber where the weaker players play to their caliber, the deep pass is back, the db's actually blow coverage. When it comes down to the oline blocking people seem think ncaa does this better but to be honest ncaa does this to well. Ive played UCLA vs Alabama and had 100 yrds rushing in the first quarter on heisman with no sliders change. With that being said madden does everything better except for pro-tak and player models.

Also I found the coordinator talk to be amusing and annoying before I found how to turn it off. It sounds if the plan was for someone to learn about football while playing the game. I understand that EA is trying to get more customers, maybe those not familiar with football, but it was so elementary and obvious.
Also I ran the Fake to the FB/Pitch to the HB and the coordinator told me to follow the fullback on the dive up the middle. D'oh.

- Is it me or does it seem like the cpu breaks the first tackle almost 75% of the time. I even tuned the broken tackle slider down and they were still breaking the first tackle most of the time. I was playing with the jets and a colts lineman picked up a fumble and broke at least 5 tackles on his way to the endzone.
- Why does it seem like when the cpu runs the ball their is almost always a hole and if their isnt then 9 times out of 10 the rb will break a tackle and gain at least 4yrds anyway, but when I run the ball their is a defender sitting in the hole waiting for me or I am getting hit right after i get the handoff.
- Why cant you skip instant replay as soon as it comes up. You either have to watch the whole replay or watch most of it before it lets you skip it
- I turned off accl. clock but time was still being ran off after every play call
- I dont see why everyone is complaining about the strategy pad. It is so simple. Yea you will have to get use to it but it should only take about 1 game to and maybe not even that long. Its not like u have to memorize everything about it and every button
- Out of all teams why did the colts and jets win the fan vote. I know the colts have manning and all but their are far more entertaing teams to use on a demo where you can only play with 2 teams like the saints, chargers, vikings, pats, or even the titans but the colts aginst the jets are justn to boring to play with on a demo for me.
This all came on all-madden diff. but all in all the demo is pretty good. I just hope the brokin tackles are tuned down, and its you can actually have room to run the ball in the retail version. I dont see what eveyone cry and complain about. Would u rather play madden 11 or madden 95. Yea not much changed since madden 10 but 11 is still better.
My initial impression of the demo is that I enjoyed it. After reading all of the negative reviews I was almost ready to pull my pre-order from Amazon. Fortunately, I played it for myself and found that it isn't as bad as people are making it out to be. The locomotion feels fine. Running may be too easy on All-Pro, but has anyone tried to mess with the CPU sliders to make it a little harder? I haven't yet, but I will when I get home later. I don't have a problem with the strategy pad. Sure, we've got to memorize new buttons, but as they say, "it ain't rocket science." I like the kick meter better than using the RS stick, mainly because the way Madden/NCAA implemented the RS stick made the kicking game irrelevant because it was too easy. I haven't tried out GF or GP yet, so I have no comment on that. The best thing about it is EA left it as an option, and didn't ram it down our throats.
Madden 11 playbooks are substantially smaller than Madden 10
I use the Colts and their offensive playbook every year. Something about their playbook on '11 didn't seem right to me, so I counted plays & formations from Madden '10. I left out special teams and goaline.
Heres what I found: Colts playbook for Madden 10 has 21 sets and 345 plays total
Colts playbook for Madden 11 has 13 sets with 216 plays total
Madden '10 has 8 more sets and 129 more plays. They also removed Shotgun Ace that was only found in the Colts playbook, one of my favorite sets.

1. Yeah, I turned it off as well and got a 5 second run off...
2. Probably because of off-season signings the Jets won the fan vote.
Welcome to OS!
I'm reading your posts and getting the sense that you have a lot of anger towards EA.
in the post below, stating that if "blatent disregard.....is occuring then my actions will be much more stern and aggressive"...while that may work in a work-place (not mine) it has NO PLACE in a video-game forum.
perhaps OS is not the place for you.....just a suggestion

Their is one thing I have a problem with though. When you audible you have to highlight the play you want. If you are playing a friend offline on the same console wouldnt they be able to see what you are doing or at least know what type of play you are audibling to?
I like the feel of the game bt commentating is killing me. Its like they dont care if it sounds like the guys are really in the booth together. And I like the idea of getting a lot of no name announcers (that wouldn't cost a lot) put together 12 announcing teams and sprinkle them in during the season. That way all games have different announcing teams like in real life.
We d not need name announcers just ones that sound like they are really there. If you get Chris and Gus together they can go back and forth and you can put those audio blocks in spots instead of copying and pasting each individually.
I mean don't have 1 or 2 sayings for the start of every game about the stadium their at, have a dozen for each venue. Record thousand of lines. its not difficult with todays technology.

Ok well put but doesn't it bother you that things tend to get ignored year in and year out? Doesn't it bother you that fans have been asking for features for years and they act like they can't hear anyone. Also It wouldn't be so bad except when I go online and see the leaders of madden team in videos talking about how they listen to us....Really?
MAHAM - Thanks for checking the playbooks, I suspected they were smaller and you confirmed my worst fears.

Could the less plays be a demo thing maybe? Maybe when someone gets the game we'll know for sure.

I also know that the devs DO check these boards, and they DO because they're WELL MODDED. You're being heard. When something can't be done , or isn't done there's a reason. If you don't think these guys would love to make the GOAT and GOY every year, you're wrong. Yes, they're in it for money, but they have pride, and are competitors...most people in business do and are. Believe me, they're listening
ps3 demo
* love locomotion..i play on very slow with player speed diff at 38....everthing seems to move with so much more fluidity....a far cruy from M09 "water bugs flying all over the place"
* lighting..much better than m10
* gameplan/flow have potential....more tinkering to be done
* love the new fade route hot route
* gus johnson. gus jonhson. gus johnson. nuf ced.
* stadium music
-----------------------------------------------
cons
* not a huge fan of the passing camera zoom out...curious to see if they tweaked the 'zoom' camera as well
* strategy pad---getting better with it though
* pass trajectory of lob/short passes---STILL too much loft for my liking
* too many audio gaps---i know it's a stripped down version.

My dbs have brick hands. In the 4 3 games I have played my dbs have dropped about 8 ints. I hope this is better in the retail version
Im still trying but on all-madden its just impossible for the colts to run. I tuned down the jets run d reaction time and block shedding but they still are swimming past my blockers or ripping through them as soon as i snap the ball.
Because I do like this game I will also say something good about it. Just like ncaa it seems like the teams play just like they do in real life. The jets blitz me on every down and I have little time to throw the ball but i also have little time to throw when I am playing with the jets because freeney and mathis is always in the backfield. Also you better run a lot of zone with the colts d or your dbs are going to conistently get burned on routes were they have to stay with a wr
