If they have gotten that part right I may just get a copy.

Got it yesterday, first Madden I've played since probably '08 where I haven't got picked off every single time I go to the air. Having no sprint button is an adjustment, but it does appear to even the playing field, I was able to run in a 40 yard TD with Ronnie Brown - and with no sprint button I'll take that as an accomplishment any time.

Like previous Madden's the presentation is flawless, looks great and sounds great. Going to get RSI from this one I feel.

 

[nöyd]

Oh and gameflow is great, although it just seems to be a slightly quicker version of the "Ask Madden" feature.

 

[Big Mick]

I'm getting mine arriving from USA this week.

Wanted the US version to mix it with NCAA Football 11.

 

[pennywisealfie]

sounds like its a winner

 

[simmo1]

Been keen to get a sports game for a while now, since all I've been on is FPS and RPG's recently. Probably will pick this up.

 

[Tom155]

ordered it wish they would put some effort into making superstar & franchise mode better though

 

[zombie jesus]

Probably going to go and pick it up tomorrow.

 

[Napoleon Bonaparte]

a friend at school picked it up, told me the franchise mode is still lacking

any truth to that??

 

[hellteam]

I just got it then about to play it, I'll report back soon

 

[hellteam]

Franchise Mode just looks exactly the same to be honest

 

[hellteam]

So been playing it for a while, haven't noticed a whole different really.. bit disappointed.

The commentary is horrendous. Even worse then last year, and that's saying a lot.

 

[Ausguy]

You have been playing it for 40 mins mate. Fair go seriously.

 

[Napoleon Bonaparte]

Franchise Mode just looks exactly the same to be honest

Why do they not improve the most played mode of the game
:?

every year fans screaming for improvements and they never deliver...

Pass on Madden 11

 

[stormbati]

The Madden team don't really give a stuff because there's no serious competition.
Pass defence on Madden 10 is too hard for me, plus I hate getting picked all the time. Hopefully that's fixed.

 

[Jono078]

Meh IMO.

Next year better be year of the real time physics and franchise overhaul.

Nothing to get excited about here, but if you need your NFL hookup it's a solid game.

ive had to turn gameflow off, my game kept freezing while playing offline franchise mode, since i turned it off it hasnt happened again, hope they patch it soon.

Also, i dont like the auto sprint thing they have this year, but you can switch it off in settings.
