Madden 2011

I think that the off target passes are balanced by the fact the recievers make those sideline circus catches now (nice give and take). I haven't thrown too many picks but I sure as hell take a lot of sacks. I like the feel of the locomotion and have had no prolems in the running game. The only thing that has really pissed me off is when I throw a deep pass to a WR and it appears as if he is right under the ball and he doesn't catch it. Sure they will try and catch underthrown balls but they won't put their hands up for a perfectly thrown pass.

Anyone catch the Black Ops video on Xbox live, looks awesome!

looks awesome, but I could see that rc car getting old quick. I liked the look of the map that had a rocket taking off in the background and being able to record clips from multiplayer will be super bad ass.

Yeah the WRs don't seem to want to put in much effort to catch some balls, but yeah the trade off is they'll make some crazy sideline grabs too. I hear ya on the sacks too, seems that the coverages are better or maybe the pass rush is more fierce (or maybe both?), but I'm definitely taking too many sacks right now.

I was going off what my buddies are saying and this board for the most part it is negative.

Meh, everyone has their gripes. Read some online reviews that give a better overall picture.

Boils down to this for me, the new changes such as gameflow or no sprint can be turned off, and the pre-snap controls are going to be patched soon.

I like the overall feel of the game, feels more natural. You need to play it to really see what I mean. For a hardcore Madden guy, it's worth buying.

I actually got out of preseason with no injuries, but got hit hard in the first couple of weeks.

A bunch of them just cost guys the rest of the game, but I lost Portis for the game twice in 2 weeks, then, I lost LJ one of those games. Had Thomas and Galloway knocked out of another.

Only major injuries:
Kemo for 4 weeks - don't remember
Carter for 11 weeks - broken ribs

Ok I went back and gave gameflow a second chance. Gotta say once you get the plays in that you like it works pretty well.

I have had flurries of minor injuries but nothing major. My most serious was McNabb for half a game with bruised ribs. At that point in time though I had a 30+ point lead and my running game was lighting it up. When I did have to pass with sexy Rexy it was ugly. I think that he completed 1 of 7 for 5 yards. He was sacked 3 times.

When are you going to set up leagues? I may get a Xbox version, I am just waiting on my N adapter to come in the mail then I will be good to go.
