IGN: Madden NFL 11: What we want.

[Nature Boy]

This comes from IGN.com

October 28, 2009 - The true football fans of the world know that Madden NFL 10 made strides in some significant directions last year. They added some great gameplay and presentational touches that really helped bring the Madden experience closer to what you see on your couch every Sunday. That withstanding, there was certainly room for improvement in a few key areas that would help bring Madden to the next level and silence some of the naysayers.

Here's my list for how to make Madden NFL 11 the finest in the franchise.

Pretty decent list. Can't argue with anything there, superstar is easily the worst feature in the game, its just bad and boring as is.

 

[Woy]

superstar was good before in like 07, they just didnt have enough time this year with OF and everything so hopefully its better in '11

I would love Superstar to make sense for once. Like whenever I import my legend from NCAA, I wouldn't travel back in time to play with this year's rookies. Frustrates the hell out of me.

madden 11? how about they fix this POS first!

 

[Lupe]

Renting madden next year. Don't like it i'm going to NFL 2k5.

The issue is most apparent in Superstar Mode when players will needlessly duck out of bounds or stay in bounds so the clock continues to run. It's incredibly frustrating to watch helplessly as the AI ruins your chance for a game winning drive. This is a problem that has been present in past Maddens and it's high time that it's eliminated.

LMAO They're staying in bounds to keep the clock running, so you cant get a game winning drive. What a dummy.

I want to hear about a group of fans who freak out when I trade away their favorite player. I want to see my crowd size diminish if my team loses six in a row and I'd like to hear the commentators talk about how my team might need to relocate if we don't step it up and earn back some of the doubters. Commentators should also talk about storylines that develop between players. If it's a rivalry game players should jaw at each other more and the duo in the booth should have the wherewithal to point out the tension.

I Like this idea. A newspaper, magazine, or blog type setup for a news hub in franchise mode.

Be A Pro is nice. But it probably needs to be re-done from the ground up. And if that's the case, dont prioritize it over Franchise. A really good Franchise mode cant be beat.

What they should really do is literally just update the Rosters fix some little thing s and release Madden 11 for like $40. Then they can start developing Madden 12 earlier, like when they would've started Madden 11 and hopefully we'd have a better game. They'd never do this because of money but a longer development cycle would do wonders I think.

Instead we'll get a load of promises about how you've never seen football like this before and EA will put out another average game.

It'll never ever change.

23845y82356982 new features in this game! (Not that we're going to tell you we're horribly misleading you to think they are what they aren't)


I love the comedic aspect of this though. Like this whole twitter thing with Ian "Break an All Time record, you won't be disapointted!" . So somebody on OS did just that....and was completely disapointted because nothing happened. Ian's yet to respond but I'm sure he'll say, "well guize I saw it in my game so it's your problem and the game rocks. p.s. Steve ban these idiots for trying to show me up!"

lol at IGN making suggestions, they already know next year when 0 of these are added to the game they'll still give it a good rating anyway just so they can keep a good relationship with EA

Someone really did it? I remember him saying that. But I didnt know someone did it.

 

[Houston]

oh god they're already getting some of you guys hopes up.

 

[ZAN]

Online Practice mode.

Yep there was a thread linked within that thread (like on page 10?) linking to a thread called Jerry Rice Record I believe.

Other guys mentioned they broke Emmitt's record too and nothing...

They had the announcers making comments that it was getting close and then ....nothing.

lol

thats a good list. I would add though the feature of
Create a Draft Class. That way we can make our own draft classes and they can be accurate instead of Eric berry going in round 7.

I know people would make 7 round drafts and i certaintly would aswell.

 

[ZAN]

I'd like online practice mode. IDK if I stated that once already, or not.

 

[Cryolemon]

I'd like to have the wildcat actually be usable, or at the very least have the actual plays. Improve the AI so you don't need to restrict what people can do ffs!

 

[Derrville]

Can the ball fights be less arcadey and more realistic?

No one when running a streak route, gets hit in the air and stops all momentum going forward and does the "backwards flip" animation.

Its physically impossible EA...Don't have a video of it, but it is sure to happen again and I will repost

This animation will happen 95% of the time during deep balls. Its ridiculous. Ive never ever seen a Receiver catch the ball than get flipped like that ever, especially not 10 times a game.

That would be pretty cool actually. At least allow us to edit rookies like you could in 2k5.
