Madden NFL 11 Demo Available Now, Please Post Impressions Here

For me a huge plus is the DB's don't know where the ball is going before the receiver does. Unlike in NCAA I feel that is a huge issue.

Main reason the crowd is quite at times is that they had to edited and take out alot of the announcing and stuff so the demo would download faster. It will be fine in the final version

Having played both the only difference between the demo and retail is the crowd noise. For some reason in the demo crowd noise is bugged out. If you like the demo get the game, if you don't pass on the game, unless they day 1 patch the game, what you see in the demo is what you will get when you purchase the full game.

Oh I forgot, thanks for reminding me. Kinda silly of us to compare a demo with a final bld, plus patch retail copy of NCAA.

You wont get pauses in commentary in full version. -Graphics are best in the series for Madden. -Deep ball is back. -So far the cpu has challenged the correct rulings. Cons -Run blocking is not as good as NCAA. -Ball travels too slow in the air. -AI rubberband still there. -I cant find out how to do hot routes there is no instructions on how to do it. Not even on game controls. -Locomotion not as good as NCAA. NCAAF 11 > Madden 11

Press up twice on Dpad then select receiver then select route.

Presnap adjustments are a thing of the past and can no longer be done with the ease that they were once done. I'd be lucky to make one adjustment per snap now. I really don't get it.

I might be wrong but the strategy pad to me seems like a simplification of the whole pre-snap stuff - the elusive Madden noobs they constantly strive to appeal to probably told them they were confused by all the different combinations of button/stick adjustments - and they put it all onto the D-pad.

But where has the defensive receiver spotlight gone ??

By 'Rubberband" do you mean comeback AI, or something else?

Threw an out pattern to B. Edwards and it went the way it should. The DB didn't jump the route and block it or pick it off for 6 the other way. Very nice!
