Madden NFL 11 Makes Co-Op Online Football Fun w/ Video (IGN)

[NEW_ORLEANS]

Still not feeling Collinsworth it just sounds like he is trying to read me a bedtime story.

Welp, chalk it up as another "Madden-ing" fail.

We should be used to it by now.

lol

It would help if we heard something new from Collinsworth and if the sound level for Gus and Collinsworth were equal.

Co-OP fail, waste of devolopement time... Comentary still really bad EA needs to hire a new audio team. FAIL ... "he's gonna pass", Thanks for the warning Gus.

If anything, this might give EA a wake up call. If they don't improve this pronto, nobodys going to buy this game. However I do feel that all the interviews have just been recorded in one go with the same build so maybe the final product (pretty much what we get at E3) is better. There must be some reason why it's been so quiet.

Tomorrow we'll see.

It's not a waste of time, it's just a classic example of the cart in front of the horse. Why are they spending development cycles working on this feature when the core gameplay continues to suffer? This fan, and I'm sure others, won't even waste their time in a 3vs3 match without the gameplay to support a competitive, realistic, and fun match up. Throw in the boost crap they are selling for real world cash $$$ (which is probably 'why' they focused on it, so EA has something 'new' to sell consumers, not because it's what consumers want) and even the new feature is turning off competitive gamers. They claim to build a new feature for competitive gamers, and then add something to it that is only going to anger most hard core competitive gamers. Someone somewhere is incompetent, to push 3vs3 as a competitive feature and the boostable concept for cash together.

Agreed. This is getting to a point where even the most optimistic (and i'm one of them) can't find too much room for optimism...honestly i'm not the type to get angry or immature about these kind of things but i'm extremely disappointed that they've turned a blind eye and cold shoulder to things we've all been asking for, for what seems like years now..

Truth is, i'll refrain from harsh judgement until i actually PLAY the game, but the lack of any major improvements to franchise mode is appalling to me. IMO, Madden has the most lackluster franchise mode out of any of the major sports games (i own them all) and this pains me incredibly because football is by far and away my favorite sport.

This describes me to a T right now... I'm not one to bash and/or get angry but the news was VERY disappointing. This will be season 6 in which Madden won't have as good as a franchise mode that Madden 2005 had.

After reading up info about NCAA '11, the game looks to be VERY good... the game will have Madden '11's new locomotion engine, dual stick controls, blocking improvements, improved pro-tak, and more but it will also have an improved dynasty mode online AND offline. NCAA just looks to be the better game this year and since the Madden blog clearly stated that Madden '12 will have improved franchise modes, what's the point in getting Madden '11 when NCAA '11 will have mostly the same features along with some other huge improvements and/or things that won't be in Madden '11? Also, since everything being added to Madden '11 will be improved for Madden '12 along with superstar mode and franchise mode, again, what's the point?

So yeah... chances are you aren't going to see me much around these forums for a decent while... at least not as much as I'm usually on them (I'm not going to waste time bashing like many others do here).
