Anyone got Madden 11 yet?

[Colonel Ronan]

Fifa 10 was sick. It gets better every year. Wonder how PES will be in comparison this year.

International superstar soccer for n64 was the best

Best game ever made was Ecco the Dolphin.

I just played my first game of 11 and I got 5 picks with one player. Fluke or flaw w/ the game?

 

[Mamba]

I'm thinking fluke?

I had a hell of a game last night. Running is too easy on the game this year, IMO.

Steve Slaton is a beast in the game.

i rented NCAA football 11 JUST to get the draft classes ('11, '12, '13, '14) for the next few years. All the names and info are corrected through a roster update I found.

Was it stupid to spend 7.99 for the rental? yup. But i'd do it again, damn it.

They should make it possible to update all the rosters on Madden 10 for like 10-15 bucks online. I would rather do that than but the new one.

If they did that not enough people would buy the new games to make making them financially viable. Their only source of income from the NFL would then be these patches, so they would get no new customers, as there would only be a Madden game from 5 years ago available, and their existing customers will eventually stop playing or paying to download the patch. Also, if Madden were to stop bringing a game out each year, it would allow competition to get a foothold in the market.

Not unless they do it right... Constant DLC, new Achievements, game updates, tweaks to the engine. Its possible.

If that's the case, patches are gonna cost money.

Each of those patches will cost just as much money as buying the new game, maybe more. Might as well buy the new game.

Rather do that than buy a new disk every year.

Rather do that than buy a new disk every year.

The issue with doing this, and a big reason why they never will, is there's still a good chunk of the gaming population that's not on XBL or PSN. Not everyone has high-speed internet, so if they just updated the game on a yearly basis through patches and online purchases, there would be people who wouldn't be able to.

Sliders can fix that. Reduce your run blocking, increase their tackling or awareness, any of those help. I'm averaging a shade over 5 YPC, which isn't bad. I've had some really good games, and I've had some clunkers. I will admit though, running has been the toughest thing for me to figure out sliders for this year, both CPU and human. I've got decent, but I still don't think they're as good as they could be.

The other thing I recommend is increasing the speed threshold to about 70. Doing that really cuts down on the big plays, which was a big issue with the run game for me. It was too easy for backs to rip off 30+ yard runs with it defaulted at 50 (big plays in general were to prominent, at default there'd be at least four 50+ yard plays per game between the teams), at 70 it doesn't happen nearly as often.

I just had the best game ever online. I was playing a dude that was pretty good. It was 7-7 with about 15 secs left in the 1st half and he was on my 1 about to score. He had slowly moved the ball there to make sure I wouldn't have enough time to score after he did. Anyways, he decides to PA pass, and I pick 6 him. Then, I kick it off, the ball lands in the end zone and I guess he thought it was out of bounds or didn't know the play was still going on, but I got the ball in the end zone for another TD. 21-7 at halftime haha

anyone have any idea how to improve your QB's throwing power (without cheating)?
