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

[sniperhare]

Would be cool if next year Madden & NCAA worked together to do the coaching carousal feature and let you import college coaches to the NFL and bring NFL coaches back to college.

Besides the dead space in the commentary, I was pretty pleased with the video. Perhaps I'm not as anal as everyone else is about so many apects of the game . While not perfect I'm sure, it was good to see DE/OLB trying to seal off the edge in the pass rush and not always running directly into the tackle.

There has been no real change in the gameplay, I can't understand why anyone would want to buy this game. After seeing whats possible with a game like backbreaker.

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?

I wanted to bold this whole quote,but figured it would've looked stupid....but let me just say,I agree with everything here.

I wasn't initially going to get either,but based on what I've read,I am leaning towards NCAA this year. NCAA just seems to be more of a "complete" game in terms of what I'm looking for.

NOW...with that being said,I'm still going to be holding off of NCAA till after I get good run time with the demo,so hopefully I see what I need to see for me to purchase this years version.

Yes this is needed in this game alone with opening up the imported draft classes by sending every player thats leaving their schools at the end of the season and send them all to Madden every time we save a draft class.

Sadly, this statement could be made about many versions of Madden since the advent of the current-gen hardware...just change the years and recycle.

Co-Op online without the ability to have multiple people playing from the same console will flop. The announcement that "well, this year Franchise mode is pretty much unchanged, but NEXT year we will really nail that..." is only going to piss off about half your buying public in each of the next two iterations (Madden 11 will piss off the franchisers and Madden 12 will piss off the online and gameplay crowds because the "focus in '12 is on franchise mode")...

This is essentially an open invitation to buyers saying that you should only buy Madden every OTHER year because that's how long it is going to take them to get around to improving everything in the game...

Makes me wonder how much EA pays the people who manage their media releases and marketing strategies because this level of incompetence has historically been reserved for the dev team and their ability to implement suggestions and desires from the fans.

All i can say is when Madden 10 came out they said they had co-op mode and mislead us a bit, turned out you could only play 2 vs CPU. I was so mad.

Now that we get 3 on 3 and done the right way...LOVE it.

It's something i know i will love, even tho im angry about no franchise upgrades this year, but oh well..at least we HAVE online franchise.
