>= 8.5 mostly and no lower than a B+

Seems like the consensus is it's a B+/A- game

You didn't hear about the new rule? Onside punts?

I haven't played video games regularly in about 16 years (since around sophomore year of high school), so I could give an ish about Madden. But the 2010 season hasn't started yet, so why is this Madden 2011, not 2010?

Honest question for someone who is out of the loop. The year on the madden box is always one year in advance. Honestly, i dont know why they do that...anyone care to answer?

Because Madden model years mimic car model years. You will be playing Madden 11 for 8 months during 2011 as opposed to the 4 in 2010.

I see. Although I think it would make more sense if it reflected the season in question. Madden '11!! Featuring the 2010 teams!! ????

Oh, I agree completely. Comprehension does not necessarily breed acceptance.

God damn you NFL and EA! Damn you tell.

p.s. I've tried the both the XBox demo and PS3 demo and the game seems to have higher resolution texture on the PS3.

PS3, I use to play on Xbox and it kept breaking over and over so I just stopped bothering with it.

I know there is going to be lag and stuff, but still, NCAA was nothing like this when it first came out. I don't understand how the same amount of people on with NCAA has no lag, but Madden does always. That should be their #1 priority every season yet they don't do it. I could careless if the damn clouds look better, fix the online.

MLB the Show sucked on online last year, this year, perfect.

Makers of Madden will never learn.

I think it is because the actual NFL year will be the 2010-2011 season, as the superbowl and playoffs are in 2011. Thus, Madden 2011.

Online play on the PS3 has always been shoddy. I was hoping the XBox version would be better.

I always hate the argument between the PS3 and Xbox online service, no matter what online is always based off who's ever hosting the game or the connection between the two players.

So if I have a terrible connection then the whole game sucks for everyone, including you, no matter if it's Madden or Call of Duty.

I hear you, for me the commentary wants to make me put my brain in, after having it 'blowed out' from last years game, and then proceed to blow it out a second time.
