Madden NFL 11 Exclusive Debut Trailer

[SomeStrangeSin]

Wow I cant say how dissapointed I am in madden 11 this has to be the worst game on this gen from the video unless ea is trying to dump the series wtf was that? That was a debut trailer? Whoever buys this game im sorry. This is exactly why ea didnt do interaction this year there going for a simpler game more casual gamer style BOYCOTT MADDEN 11

uhh hearing the coach in your headset? ever since nfl headcoach 09 ive been wanting that. The animations and visuals look great however the way they presented the game in this one clip was kind of off. BUT i think its shaping up to sim. As much as they will allow of course. Seriously a combination of Madden and Head Coach is my dream. Plus ive been in Texas for a week without internet. Seriously do you see the size of that field? Now it looks like they can run full and realistic routes. Yes im ridin the hype train. I hope they fix some of the small things as well like jerseys. I cant wait to see some more gameplay.

Looks good. Too hard to tell from a quick video.

Looks exactly like '10. The rushing animation looks stiff and robotic once again. I think I'll wait for it to hit the bargain bin, I see no improvements worth $65 over last year's iteration.

The only way to truly improve Madden is to overhaul or replace the game engine. Pre-rendered animations are ugly and stiff, and make the game boring after a short while. But it's a lot to do when you have to release a new game every year. Only extreme optimists would expect any worthwhile change year-to-year. It's financially beneficial to make changes in small increments. It makes it easier to market a yearly re-release of what is essentially the same core gameplay.

this trailer was footage from madden 10,because madden 11 will be madden 10 with more canned animations.

only hope for us(realistic gameplay lovers) is with no doubt 2012(hope is not the end of the world)

Madden 11 scares me. I want to reserve judgement until I get to play the demo, but im not encouraged by this mantra to be speedup and simplify the game. Football is not meant to be played in 30 minutes unless you are playing in the arcade. I really have to question the focus this year. I want more emotion, authenticity and atmosphere between the whistles - not less. : (

It almost feels like they couldnt get it right so instead of improving the presentation, they decided to cut it out. Look at Madden 11's tagline - "its Simpler, Quicker and Deeper." Personally I liked the "Everything you see on Sunday" mantra they employed last year a lot better. Even if it wasnt pulled off.

Simpler - really? I hope they dont dumb it down too much. Quicker - really?? They just slowed it down last year to play more realistically. Deeper - really??? Isnt that the exact opposite of "Simpler"? Does anyone else sense the muddled focus here?

This is a definate wait and see for me.

Holy cow, did hell freeze over?? Did we really just get PS3 video in an EA trailer???

Awesome stuff. I gotta be honest too, I know some people might not like it, but the whole 30 min game thing is right up my alley. I don't have tons of free time, so if I can seriously get in a game of Madden in that amount of time without losing anything, I'm excited.
