Madden 2011 Impressions

[~Chance~]

How is the locomotion?

Play on Fast, tell me how that is.

Is the blocking really improved? Try sweeps and tosses please

 

[j.hen]

How's passing? I know in the demo you can throw the ball before the WR even make their cuts and the ball will still go where it needed to be.

 

[~Chance~]

Blocking is much improved. Almost to easy to run in this game and I'm one who had no trouble running last year.

I just booted up the game and apparently right out of the box the game speed is "slow". I'm booting up a game now to see if maybe one of my friends put the gameplay on fast last night during the tournament which could possibly explain the ridiculous, arcade feeling.

Locomotion as in the shit you can do with the ball carrier? Jukes are a lot more crisp as well as spin moves. Like I said tho you can pretty much pound on the right analog stick and more times then not you're going to break the tackle.

Ok. How about All-madden? Do they still cheat and shit.

How is the D-line play, can i dominate the game with a Nose tackle or DE?

 

[j.hen]

What are your thoughts on how the commentary/crowd and all that sounds after more and more games played?

 

[I OU a Beatn]

Let us know how smooth the online is as well. Is there any lag during the actual game? Are the menus smooth? Etc...

 

[j.hen]

Do you play offline much houtz? And if so which speed do you plan on playing on?

 

[Maynard]

I'm really trying to figure out why the gameplay felt so incredibly fast last night while today the game speed feels fine to me.

reafer

 

[Chadman]

I have the game...feel free to ask questions

 

[Aso]

In the demo there was a lot of broken tackles as well.

I just got the game today in NC on 360....liking it so far. all pro does seem easy, I have only played two games though.

 

[Chadman]

In the demo there was a lot of broken tackles as well.

Broken tackles is a problem. This has been the case in several games so far. I thought it was because the hitstick is toned down, but that isnt the case as i been strafing and pressing X to tackle. I played one game online on all madden, it was an issue, and 4 other games offline vs the cpu on ALL Pro...still was a problem.

 

[Raidersabc123]

I had the game since thursday and as houtz said it is way to easy to run the ball especially if you have a power back they will fall forward about three yards every play, I love how the WR try and tap there feet down on sideline catches they can make catches that were almost impossible to make in previous maddens but happen in every real NFL game

 

[Rekkapryde]

The Broken Tackles def need to be toned down.

other than that, loving it.

 

[Raidersabc123]

Cant wait for the game to be released for the public might be fun to try a 3 vs 3 tournament lol

Yeah that would be cool. Im surprise there isn't a kick off tourney yet.

I wasn't really excited for Madden this year until I spent the last couple of days playing the demo. I'm actually liking it alot more than I thought I would. Most of the animations and movement seem fairly fluid and realistic. I like the fact that you can really tell the difference between an elite QB and a mediocre one.

I'm actually looking forward to getting the game on Tuesday now.:marshmellow:

 

[Twigg4075]

I know you're a Dolphins fan but can you play one game as the Bears and see if you can actually run the fucking ball? The last two years it was IMPOSSIBLE. I would literally average 1.2 yards/carry with Forte. It was so frustarting that I would stop playing a month after release. I would only play against my buddies either online or when they came over.

Most of the time as soon as I took the handoff there was a lineman in the backfield hitting me. I wasn't the only one that had the problme either. I know at least Wolo, another Bears fan, had the same issues.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Defense is stupid on this game though.

Gonna be slugfest...at least on All Pro

Hopefully we can get a game in this year Heli.

thats because the bears o line has sucked the past couple of years. my experiences in the run game are fair. your line is good...you will be able to run the ball. i had success running the ball with the bears earlier, but that was later in the game. on the other hand, running the ball with the bills vs the lions was impossible despite having 3 good tailbacks in jackson, lynch, and spiller. ratings actually matter and come into play.
