    Eleven things you didn't know about Madden 11

    number 5

    We tapped EA Sports senior producer Phil Frazier to let us in on eleven things you didn’t know about 'Madden NFL 11.'

    \
    1. To create the playbooks for Madden NFL 11, designers watch the actual "all 22" tape that real NFL coaches use to evaluate game film. EA SPORTS had to be labeled as a 33rd NFL franchise by the league in order to get these tapes.

    2. Plays chosen for you via GameFlow are based on actual run/pass percentages of NFL teams from last season. All situations were evaluated including a variety of down and distance situations, two-minute offense, etc.

    3. More teams in the game use shotgun and wildcat formations thanks to some valuable information from Coach Madden. In a number of conference calls with the design team he mentioned that more and more teams are using both of these formations on a regular basis.

    4. Madden NFL 11 is the first sports game to feature an active league commissioner. Roger Goodell makes a cameo appearance in the brand new Super Bowl win sequence.

    5. Broadcaster Gus Johnson expelled so much energy recording his lines for the new Super Bowl victory sequences that he could only do one per session.

    6. If you total up all of his time on microphone, Gus Johnson, our new play by play announcer, recorded more than 70 hours of dialogue.

    7. The design team spent time with NFL coaches, including Tennessee Titans Offensive Coordinator Mike Heimerdinger, to help rebuild the zone blocking matchup system.

    8. To help create a more realistic and noticeable difference between players in the NFL, they hired 12 different size athletes to do motion capture for the new locomotion feature. Athletes ranging from heavy to skinny all performed sprints, cuts, stops, etc. to help make sure the new mo-cap (motion capture) looked amazing.

    9. Madden NFL 11's new running animations were captured on a 40-yard-long motion capture stage -- the first time any EA product has used a stage so large.

    10. The brand new presentation system in Madden NFL 11 contains more than 250 banners, 493 scriptable scenes, and 754 presentation packages.

    11. To create the New Meadowlands Stadium, used this season by the New York Jets and New York Giants, our environment artist took almost 1,000 detailed pictures of the stadium under construction.

    Gus Johnson has 70 hours of dialogue?
    With all that stuttering, it must have taken 400 hours to record.

    Chris ... Johnson ... runs ... into ... the ... end ... zone!

    At least he's more excited than Hammond, but EA really needs to fix what is clearly a problem with the play by play programming.

          all the above are Horribly True
          at least the commentary has changed......the PBs are kinda ridculous - you think we could design our own playbooks....at least offline
          3rd & 14, inside your own 15, up 6, 3:20min left to go = call a PA Pass and Cancel. *its Legit, so no needless complaining
