Madden NFL 11 Video Blog is Live, Post Your Impressions Here

[ucas005]

About what I was expecting. Having a blast in my online franchise so I can be patient.

Maybe I'm reading to much into it, but do you think crowd volume/chants on this site (http://doritoschangethegame.com/index.html) is a sign of atmosphere upgrades in 11?

The blog was better then the half time show. Really didn't learn anything new about Madden 11. Still plenty of time to see whats new.

My impression - thats wonderful now please fix the flipping sim stats

I couldn't see past Ian's bangs. When I did, saw a bunch of old guys, and a highly caffeinated ratings czar.

Mark Turmell's board had 'regulate frustration' on it.

Steve pretty much summed up the vid, not sure what else there is to report on it.

Keep in mind there's a difference between accessibility (making it easier for people to pick up the game and play it) and sim/arcade. You can have a realistic game and still make it easier for people to pick it up and play it, or pick it up and learn how to play it.

What are Sim Stats? I just hope they make the OF have more user controls and more depth. I'm still enjoyin M10(In th ACQB Online Franchise) and will be rocking M11 when it drops.

After the qb passing cone blog last year, not quite sure I trust Ian to 'give us' something to pause and view. There were way too many white boards easily accessible there. They had to be planted just to mess with us.

2nd board really didn't look like anything. Wasn't UML, User Stories, nothing. EA's internal design language? I think Ian referred to it as 'gibberish'.

LOL what did you guys expect?
