Madden 2011

Yeah the fumble scrum sucks, but you can turn that off you know.

I hope they get rid of those measuring for the 1st down cut screens or at least let you skip through them when they come up.

Isn't this basically a spruced up version of "ask Madden"?

We'll see how it goes, I'm not against the idea. Looks like it could be fun as long as the AI works right. You can vote on plays you like or don't like so it will be called more or less often.

EA marketing department blown up by a single post, DAGGER!

I thought the same expect for that it is called into your ear.

But duuuude...now you don't have to go to a menu and pick "Ask Madden."

Yeah I despise those, they should allow you to skip them.

I also hope they fixed the hurry up offense while you're in shotgun. It's really stupid now, you have to wait for the QB to kick up his leg twice before you can snap the ball. I hate it.

Also during kickoff, you should be able to cycle through your players when you're kicking the ball.

Oh really? Damn, wish I had known that.

and get rid of the game intro and warm up shit so I don't have to press X ten times to get to the game.

Same thing I was going to post. Wouldn't be bad to see what worked well in the game. Turbo is now turned off by default, but you can add it back on. I still can't quite get the 2 joystick thing down, but I don't own any of the systems so that's probably why, just lack of practice.

I really hope they pick franchise mode. I always enjoyed picking players and creating a team more than playing games as well.

Yeah, I agree. Franchise is basically the only reason why I buy Madden, and they haven't had a respectable franchise mode since PS2.

Is it coming back to PC?

Ok after getting a chance to watch this entire preview I'm fully on board with the new changes. I like the look of the new game planning feature and considering they've cut the game time in half without sacrificing the amount of plays you run, I think that's definitely a good thing. Seems that they're just cutting out a lot of the unnecessary junk in between plays.

I think they made a good point that in real life a coach doesn't bring his entire playbook into a game, he brings a gameplan that's just a portion of the entire playbook. They've managed to simplify the game yet add some depth at the same time.

Any reason for the Cornershop song in the usertitle? I know that their album just came out in the U.S. recently, though it was out last year in England. I forgot that I had dl'd it.
