    Not necessarily, EA sports, and the NFLPA could always renew their agreement.

    Dude GET NCAA

    It's superior to Madden...last years anyway I havent tried this Madden yet. But in NCAA all of the passing plays actually work, all routes work against the right defenses.

    The "locomotion" system is great, if you run into your lineman as a halfback you slow down and lose momentum. You accelerate and speed up accurately after you stop, you can juke lesser players but better guys will lay a hit on you.

    It takes a bit getting used to if you play Madden exclusively, but this years NCAA is the best football game I've played in a LONG time.

    All NCAA's are superior to Madden year in and year out IMO. I was playing 09 the other day and had a ton of fun. The only thing Madden and NCAA have in common is Cover 1 Robber as a base coverage (and full time coverage) works great lol.

    Well I think only the AFC/NFC Championship games and Super Bowl were up for voting so it's the Dolphins fault, not the fans. :lol: It'll be nice to have two different styles of teams to pick from though, have to download it later today.

    **** EA for this strategy pad garbage that can't be turned off/on.

    What happened to the simple way of adjusting the play before the snap? I'm not going to be able to get used to this.

    This strategy pad crap seems like overkill. More buttons involved in making a simple adjustment. :pity:

    Is it just me, or does the kick meter now take up more of the screen & look absolutely ridiculous? Is this HotShots Golf? (ya i went thur)

    I honestly thought the demo would involve the NFC Championship Game, with an achievement awarded for not throwing a pick on the Vikings' final drive.

    Or, better yet, an achievement awarded for doing exactly that. "ESPN Still Loves Me, 10G"

    Madden 11 Demo Impressions

    Likes:
    1. Much improved blocking. My running backs actually pick up the blitz. Pass blocking linemen actually do better in pass blocking than run blocking. Their attributes show. When I played with the Jets, pass blocking was not so good as Mathis and Freeney were getting in consistently, but as I ran the ball the Jets O-line shined. Opposite with the Colts, I barely got sacked with Peyton Manning and had way more time to throw.

    2. No more HIT STICK from 5 feet away and cause a fumble. I noticed that the hit stick is far more realistic. You actually have to be in the right position and is not as easy as past years.

    3. The days were 50+ yard field goals were automatic are over. Although the kicking is not super hard, I do see guys missing a lot more.

    4. No more last second throwing incompletions. I remember last year when you barely got the ball off without a full throwing motion it was called an incomplete pass... not this year, if that arm is not in a full throwing motion its a fumble.

    5. Sideline catching is on point. Curl routes actually work. Now when you run a curl and the receiver catches the ball he turns and goes upfield instead of losing yards!

    6. Defense finesse moves on block shed are not automatic anymore.

    7. Locomotion is sick! No more covering the entire field with just one player. Now swticthing directions takes away speed, momentum, agility, acceleration, etc. Every player feels different. You can really feel the difference.

    8. Cornerbacks hit the ball out of your receivers hands when they catch it.

    9. QB throwing motions are sick! I also noticed when you pump fake sometimes the defender on that side gets faked out and sometimes he doesn't. Play action is no longer as effective as last year. I remember last year you didn't even have to establish a run and you were able to play action with ease and the defense ALWAYS bit. Heck guys would even play action on 3rd and 20 and get a first down.

    10. Way more animations! No more same ol' jump in the air and get flipped animation. I have seen several different animations.

    11. Realism, man I feel like I am actually playing with the Colts or Jets. The player faces are ridiculously sick. The crowd is much improved.

    12. Gus Johnson is an uprade from Hammond. Game feels more exciting.


    13. Wider field and wider cameras.



    Dislikes:
    1. Althought I do like Gus, I think they should add commentary about the current season. I heard NCCA does this. This would be great for online franchise.

    2. Fight for the fumble. Hate it.

    3. Tackling is still horrible.

    4. Although not all the time, CB's tend to know the route your WR is running and make their cuts sometimes before your WR does.

    5. Presentation is a bit weak. Could be way better. Halftime show, between quarters, and player of the game.

    6. Strategy pad. Not a fan but I am not throwing a fit about it like most people are. I adjust easily.

    No problem. Madden might not be for everybody but I certainly enjoy it. There are definite flaws, but as it is the only NFL licensed game, I have to take what I can get. But by no means is it a bad game. I think it will be a very good game. I just hope next year they step it up with the Online Franchise.

    I agree with you guys about the strategy pad. I dont understand why they would try to fix something that wasnt broken. The presnap adjustments feel akward against the CPU, I cant imagine what it is gonna be like online.

    You very rarely see defenders run through the line without even getting touched and sacking the QB in a second. At first I hated the D-Pad. After playing Madden a bit, I love it. I only use it to shift my LB's though, so it's easy to use. And now, no more people abusing nano blitzes every few plays.

    I agree with almost all you said however the tackling is improved from last year. It just feels much more smoother along with the rest of the movements.

    It definitely feels like a whole new madden mechanically, so I will be getting it. I had to get it regardless with all the new rules that are in the NFL this year. I just wonder how they will handle the franchise now that there isn't a salary cap. I hope owners try and control what you spend, with Jerry Jones being a big spender, and the patriots being tight wads with their own players.

    Know what gets under my skin about Madden? (please allow me to vent)

    The create a team. I LOVE that ****, but seriously....can the logos get ANY more lame? I mean really, has ANYONE ever created a team called the Babboons?

    With XBox Live and PS3 why don't they allow you to upload a logo and use that?

    Madden has always been too far behind the times

    They always add new features that should have been in the game years earlier

    Just wait a few years and then they will FINALLY have the 'technology' to upload your own team logos
