Mor, I have one question for you.... Is Zombie Nation in the game, and is it default for the Dolphins when kicking off after scoring at home? It better be. Ian alluded to "realistic" stadium music and Phil mentioned Zombie Nation as his favorite. Will be pissed if not. Also, how is crowd noise? Difference on third down, breakaway TD's, and big decisive plays?
Can anyone give a quick review on the game? I wonder if it will be any better. I really don't feel like spending money on it if its the same crap as before. God, I hope Franchise Mode still isn't boring.
i just played one game right now. some quick impressions: gameflow is kind of cool on offense. it makes you feel more like a qb. on defense it completely takes you out of the game. there is a pre-play menu that allows you to pick gameflow or playbook. receivers don't just dart towards the sidelines. they head up field, or drag their feet. there was a cool fumble animation where everybody dived for the ball. kicking mode is back to a,a,a as opposed to the sticks everybody in the miami crowd looked black. camarillo doesn't have a picture. they play the dolphin fight song after TDs. the game might look worse than madden 2010. idk. final impression: i played my obligatory game of madden this year. messed around with the minigames, but i think i'm done. hopefully i'll play it again.
Thanks. That's very disappointing. I guess I'll continue to play FIFA 2010 until the new one comes out lol.
Why do I keep holding out hope that EA will ever make a great Madden game? Looks like I'll be playing Madden 09 for another year. The great thing is it will still sell like crazy.
i think it's very unfair to say it's the same game after one game of play. and alen i would recommend that you get someone (like me, but unfortunately i don't have the next gen) to play franchise mode and scout players and the like to get the full gist of franchise mode. wouldn't avoid getting the game based on one guys one game play and dislike of the game. no offense man. but you did say the offense was improved.. and i wonder have you done a few years in franchise mode? mor - check out the scouting for alen and I
it's unfair to go on a rant about a one game review of a game that was leaked this morning!!! i'll probably give it another shot later on today. if something different than the madden i've played for the past 18 years pops out at me, i'll post it.
I've been busy since I got it. I haven't even booted it yet. I'll grind tonight and let you know. I'm loving NCAAs dynasty, so we'll see.
The original or that stupid *** T-Pain song? And please confirm Zombie Nation for me that's a deal breaker if it's not in.
i recorded a video, but it's on photobucket, so you have to click the link. it's a franchise that has a fantasy draft, so the players are going to be different. it's almost the first half of a game. they only let me upload 10 mins. i didn't notice anything special about the crowd, except that the minnesota crowd cheered when i scored a touchdown. i think the kickoff music is just the "in game" music. http://s83.photobucket.com/albums/j306/sol_good34/?action=view¤t=VIDEO0003.mp4
chicken or the egg. if there wasn't a non-detailed post to rant about the rant wouldn't have happened. if the question wasn't asked the post wouldn't have been posted. if the ranter didn't rant this post wouldn't have been made and if this post hadn't been made i wouldn't have responded. don't put it on me
Eh, I'm only paying $48ish and getting a $20 credit too. I'm sure I will be satisfied enough with it.
the original. i'm pretty sure zombie nation isn't the game. also, i've posted one more video. it's only 2:27, but it's of the final drive and you can see the minnestoa fans leaving at the end. there's a 56 yard run that is in the endgame highlights. during the actual run, gus johnson blurted out something like "give that man a new contract!" http://s83.photobucket.com/albums/j306/sol_good34/?action=view¤t=VIDEO0004.mp4
Next year we're supposedly getting a BRAND NEW franchise mode which has been in the works since 2009.
Well, **** my life. It's identical to 2010. Perhaps what chaps my *** the most is the fact that they've probably been done with this thing for months for it to get leaked this early in the "season". Question: What is the policy on cancelling a pre-order? Is it possible to get a full refund?
Thanks. That sucks.... stupid EA never pays attention to anything. The Jets stadium has Zombie Nation in Madden 11 from a video I saw. We only play it after every damn TD, EA....
my bad. zombie nation is in the game. i'm at home and it looks like it's playing after every kickoff.
ok... Just finished my 2nd game in the Franchise. There's definitely some positives. First off, the obvious... The game does look significantly better. This is one of those things that's objective based on people likes and dislikes. I personally think it looks more like football players. The sounds are great to. The zombie Nation chant is definitely in the game and it feels a helluva lot more like a home game because of it. I hate hate hate the announcers. I was one of the people that wanted announcers back... But these guys are so flipping boring its ridiculous. Gameflow... This is a strange subject for me... I like play calling assistants. But Gameflow picks the play for you. They take you completely out of the process. That's low even for me. What wrong with the way NCAA 11 did it? They had about 10 plays ranging from different things you might want to do in that situation. It helped a LOT in picking plays and speeding up the game. Gameflow just does it for you... That's no fun. That's dumb. That being said, it seemed very good at play selection. But still... I at least want to pretend I know what I'm doing. It also seemed to call Wildcat play a lot. The Wildcat was very successful against Tampa Bay... But what plays aren't successful against Tampa Bay? The overall speed of the game seems much slower. Your RB or WR in space seems to just drudge along til they're hit. This is interesting to me considering Gameflow was designed to speed the game up... Just so they slow it down. I personally like it... Not being a "Madden guy" (as you league people know lol) a slower pace allows normal folk to see plays develop easier. Not sure how the Madden hardcore will take it. All in all it's ok I guess. I will probably continue my NCAA 11 Dynasty and let Madden collect dust. For those guys with questions about the Franchise mode, ask away and I'll try to get answers...From looking at the main screen though, there seems to be absolutely no differences at all.
If there's a place to change game speed, i cant find it... I also just had my first case of super LB. This dude jumped 12 feet into the air to swat a ball...
lol whata joke. and pete can you change the game speed in online games? or just franchise mode in ncaa? iam THIS close to getting ncaa
In online dynasty you should be able to change the game speed. In online user games (like just random ranked matches) I would think that you could only change them in custom games. NCAA is worth it just for online dynasty... it's badass...
Very sad to hear. Will be a cold day in hell when you can throw a pass over the middle without the ILB hopping 10 feet to pluck it out the air. It's been that way in every Madden I can remember.
Well Obama is in this years game! [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zso_DSNlYME"]YouTube- Madden NFL 11 Gameplay - Lions Super Bowl Celebration[/ame]
