Re: Madden NFL 11 Demo Available Now, Please Post Impressions Here

Comparing this to Ncaa is night and day. In college you can get away with just being faster/quicker than the other guy, but not in the NFL. Acceleration and Speed aren't as much as a factor in the NFL, and it shows in the demo. You cant just run past the other guy, you have to work for openings. Ncaa is more fun because its a highlight factory, every player is a human joystick, mostly unrestricted while Madden seems tight, less "wide open", but maybe too much.

Tackle breaking is the opposite. In Madden--wayyy too many, while Ncaa takes a bit more. I see the difference, Madden feeling more like the Pro game, though the added weight feel is maybe a bit overdone...Love the Locomotion in both, movement seems smoother, especially on cut backs, Madden just takes forever to do it.

Gus is Overly Excited!!! after just about every play over 5 yards. But--I guess it's better than the other option, I can live with some life...this might be too much. Whats up with the strategy pad?...who does that? No alternate controls? Barely time to push the 12 buttons it takes to move my Dline? C'mon..deosn't make sense when I don't have time to adjust players, especially against the Colts Offense...And NOTHING was wrong with it...*anyway*

Overall, slightly impressed with some things, slightly disappointed with others. Hit or miss. I've seen a few that believe the finished product is more polished than this W.I.P., which i believe, due to some things still incomplete, like crowd noise. I like the improvements, and i know nobody gives a s***, but i still dunno if I'll end up buying as the demo wasn't that convincing.


Edit: Fight for The Fumble is on, and can't be turned off (unlike most things in the option menu)

I know the answer to this question, but just hoping they decided to put it in: can you player lock with the camera angle changed for POV like in NCAA 11?

Thanks,
Pete

This happens in NCAA too. The opposing team cheers for you if you make a big play or TD. It's a stupid flaw, but nothing worth being upset about.

I have a Cable internet connection and I've been downloading the demo for 4 hours now, it's at 60%. Is anybody else experiencing a REALLY slow download time?

This thread is bumming me out.

Can you really not call formation quick audibles?

The pad sounds aweful. If I cant adjust my defense and offense before the playclock runs I'm gonna get bored fast. I spend most of my Madden time in practice mode trying to build new plays.

A Colts demo without presnap adjustments is kinda pathetic.
