NCAA has better gameplay. The only thing Madden does better this year is the catching animations. And this is after putting in some serious time with Maddens full version. The catch debugging tool was a success.

Strategy Pad isn't that bad once you get used to it.

What about the graphics? Are the graphics a lot better in the full game? Can you compare it to NCAA 11. NCAA 11 blows these graphics out of the water.

nice I was able to sack Manning and he ate it. He didn't do the cheesy dump pass before the sack.

Game needs to be played at normal speed.

The NFL is not a "slow" game, and we have locomotion now so no need to mask the movement anymore IMO.

Gameflow is a joke. Another pointless gimmick, I will never use.

Other then that I think gameplay is fine, graphics are fantastic, player models look great, Gus Johnson is awesome.

I just can't believe how much EA is hyping gameflow, what a shame.

As others have said, strategy pad either sucks or will take getting used to. I think the initial negative reaction is due to NCAA going from horrible to really good and Madden going from really good to better. The demo is a Work in progress but M11 is not THAT bad...

Now this is what I expected to hear from people. M11 is a tweaked and improved version of M10.

I also am thinking that there is a lot of truth when you said "I think the initial negative reaction is due to NCAA going from horrible to really good and Madden going from really good to better". NCAA 10 was terrible and now NCAA11 is great with a massive amount of improvement this year. Last year Madden 10 was really good and people are expecting the same massive leap for Madden 11. The problem is it may have only improved a little which makes some gamers really upset, but it still may end up a good overall game.

As long as it is improved (the gameplay) a little over last year I will be very happy.
