^ I read it yesterday. The pic gallery blow my mind how crappy the graphics use tobe.


So wahts the deal are we running Madden Leagues again this year with 11? I am on the fence with either to get Xbox or PS3.

Re: Madden 2011
 

We'll be on the 360

Re: Madden 2011
 

Seems like you have one of the better leagues going. 360 it is for me.

That's not an article it's a freakin novel. The Biography of Madden. I don't think I could finish it if they made a TV documentary out of it.

Re: Madden 2011
 

Still wish Madden had some direct competition. I don't buy EA Sports party line where they say "our competition is games like Halo" especially when they can't even make better then the third best sports game in their own company (FIFA and NHL are more highly regarded from an actual game perspective, not to be confused with sales). I will say though that Madden has gotten much better, starting with last years version.

I don't understand why they havent applied phot game face feature to created players in Madden. You can say what you want but everybody secretly plays an offline Franchise with characters of their likeness.

Re: Madden 2011
 

Didn't know they were going to have the COOOOOOO after Cooley making plays. Pretty awesome to hear.

Or Hail to the Redskins. However you know what is missing? Ryan Torain, Terrance Austin, Erik Cook, Selish Capers, Will Robinson, Vonnie Holiday, Anthony Bryant, John Beck, and many more. I really wish they would at least make all the rookies that were drafted, if for nothing more then to put them in the free agent pool. I also hate how they handle O-Line subs.

You can't set up your own personel packages before the game, yet for some reason Offensie Lineman are rotated, which in the NFL rarely happens. I remember just now coming up for a play thinking "wow, they sure made Trent Williams pale. Is he white?" only to realize I was looking at Clint Oldenburg. Also I don't know if anyone else will notice but Fred Davis is extremely skinny.

Re: Madden 2011
 

What's really a joke though is the Hail to the Redskins. They don't play the whole song and then after FIGHT FOR OLD D.C, they have the RAH RAH RAH. I mean how do you screw that up honestly?

Re: Madden 2011
 

This game SUCKS online and until a patch comes out I'm not going to play online again. First off, not that this should surprise anyone, online is terrible as usual. I don't understand how NCAA 11 can be lag free online, day the game comes out or not, yet Madden never can be, it's simply a joke. Kickoff returns in Madden, I had 3 returned on me, I kicked it down the middle, to the sideline and a squib kick, all returned.

The stadium audio sucks too. I mean the Redskins song isn't that hard. HAIL TO THE REDSKINS, HAIL VICTORY, BRAVES ON THE WARPATH, FIGHT FOR OLD D.C, RUN OR PASS AND SCORE AND WE WANT A LOT MORE.....etc Yet after the FIGHT FOR OLD D.C they add RAH RAH RAH? RAH RAH RAH doesn't come till after the SONS OF WASHINGTON part.

There's no defense in this game, it's just an offense shootout and that's it. What the hell is with the no ranked matches with friends? Honestly? Game is just a joke so far, till a patch comes out it's not even worth bothering with online.

I say I'm not going to buy Madden every year, but honestly, I don't think I'm going to buy this game ever again. Would rather save my $60 for other games.

Re: Madden 2011
 

Oh yeah, I forgot to add how I punted to my friend, ball didn't hit him or anyone else. Ball hits the ground, I get it to stop the ball, yet they act like it's a fumble and the possession is given to me.

Re: Madden 2011
 

InsaneBoost, are you playing on XBox? I finally broke down and got the XBox version of the game instead of PS3 hoping there's more competition to play against online. It's the same ol' EA...f'ing spend their time adding features so the game appeals to the casual gamer instead of releasing a product that's that isn't buggy or remotely better than the previous version.

God damn you NFL and EA! Damn you tell.


p.s. I've tried the both the XBox demo and PS3 demo and the game seems to have higher resolution texture on the PS3.
