How about giving the human controlled D some love for once. Also once again seeing the AI coming across the otherside of the field and getting it's second pick of the game in video#2. Man what is up with Super AI. Please fix this Ian and crew. Give some agressiveness to the Human D pass rush and tone down the AI int ratio some. It's getting quit old.

I agree. I play with D-Ware and Spencer as my OLBs and it seems near impossible to get any pressure unless I user blitz or send everybody.
Ware is the best pass rusher in the game but its like he can't beat anybody 1on1.
The CPU on the other hand sometimes only send 3 and still manage to get pressure. lol

The guy playing as the raves was doing it. As soon as you roll out like that and break the pocket, the DE should be crushing him. More proof that they don't understand what a pocket is or how to make one. I still see the same wall in front of the QB. As far as the animations go, they are decent. Still not as good as they should/could be, but If the AI and the football fundamentals were sound, I wouldn't be upset if the animations stayed like this.

and they still throwing across their body

You should be able to have more sway over it this year. There's a pre-snap mechanic that's similar to NCAA, L2 then up will tell your d-linemen to rush upfield in an aggressive pass rush. As to the second part of your statement, this has perplexed me for years. I've never understood how the game's AI is tuned at a level that's almost psychic, but your CPU teammates always seem to be a step slower and dumber.

I even remember last year Ian really harping on the pass rush tuning and posting vids of the Ravens rushing the Bills (worst O-Line in the league) in a practice mode and the Raven's getting pressure and sacks every snap. The problem was that he was the Bills and the cpu was the Ravens and it doesn't seem to compute to them that that's not he same thing.

I understand now why Gus has very little pre-snap comments. The coordinator for gameflow is talking. There were a few times after the play you hear Collinsworth talking with the coordinator talking over him.

Stay on topic please, fellas.

I like the dynamic attendance. If you notice before nfl games , seats are not always filled. ( people getting thier beer and stuff). Once the game started i went back and noticed the stands were full. After the cut scene when fans of the Ravens were leaving, the attendance was noticeably less in the stands.

The guy was playing on all madden. Without slider intervention, it makes for a very unrealistic game. ( the dude playing was not that good, but it was on all madden .I'll cut him some slack)

sideline catches are def evident this year. Even though they were not complete, the attempt were thier, and they are done very nice.

The broken tackles and fumbles are typical of the all madden setting. I cannot take to much stock in that aspect , because that has always plagued the game on all madden in the past.

The new lighting looks fantastic. Graphically the game makes strides every year

Thank you madscientist for the footage.

Gameflow was turned off............he would not have the option to pick formations if it was turned on

I think these games being played at E3 are Exhibition/Play Now Games so the stands shouldn't be packed for those, IMO. If these were franchise regular or post season games, the stands should be full. This is probably a good sign of dynamic attendance being in Madden 11.

The overall vid was ok with some improvements from Madden 10, IMO. However, I wish they would punish gamers more for not remaining in the passing pocket properly. Gamers should be rewarded with the best play from their QB by utilizing the passing pocket properly, like the CPU was doing with Rothlisberger. Deep dropbacks and leaving the passing pocket before it ever begins to breakdown, should result in holding penalties, excessive QB pressure/hits, Qb injuries and inaccurate passes. Instead, gamers are still to often rewarded for utilizing the wrong type QB actions in on-field situations, IMO.

Also, I really hope Im wrong but with the addition of game highlights after EVERY quarter and the "Crunch Time" player of the game highlight, the halftime show could be completely gone. I was thinking about it last night and the "Extra Point" show is a franchise feature, like another poster mentioned. They already announced the specific improvements they did to that mode and there was no mention of the Extra Point. So that just leaves the halftime show and the E3 vids make me think, they have scraped it but added more in-game presentation.

I really do hope this aint the case but if it is, I thank God for my sense of humor. It really has been a blessing throughout this exclusive NFL license. LOL

I actually like the speed of the game. Things seem to animate better. Nice snow game.

Sideline catches look bad. There are 3 in the seond qtr vid where the player is way out of bounds making the tip toe animation. Gus Johnson sounds like he's reading a book to children.

"Looking for a man."

"Plenty of time to find a man."

"He has a man open."

"Got it."

If you heard that on the radio you would think there was a completed pass for positive yards. In the above scenario, it's an intercepted pass.
