Madden NFL 11 Screenshots and First Details (IGN)

[DJS3300]

After seeing the Boldin picture I think it is safe to say Madden will be another huge disappointment. There is nothing real about Melvin Bullet being 5 feet up in the air barely grabbing onto Boldin. Another year of Space like animations GREATTTTTTTTT!!!!!

No you're not. I actually liked pro tak too. It could be better, but it was ok for a first generation technology

Nice to have some new info. With that said I agree with both sides of the posts here. It's early so I think we should still wait and see what else they have in store, but I also agree that we've heard "hey we've fix abc.." before and when we played the game we couldn't tell.

As far as the graphics are concerned these screens are probably basically Madden 10. They probably haven't started to add the polish and some of the animations so old things will still be visible. I think they will get better.

Even if they don't I'd settle for these graphics with much improved animations and presentation. You know actual close-ups that we see on sundays, and replays as well.

i like protak too. it wasnt a gimmick and brought alot to the game IMO. for once i thought they actually "brought it" with a new feature that wasnt fluff. now of course it isnt perfect or nothing but it did what they said it did. the only thing they need to do is smooth it out so it doesnt look so robotic when ppl engage in it.

only thing bout this blog that caught me off guard was them talkin bout the defense getting new ability to go up to get the ball. in my head im like isnt that what these superhuman Lb's and Cb's been doing for the past 3 or so years?? they need to make the WR's as aggressive, if not more, than the D is already.

I can assure you I wont. The only chance of me buying another Madden is when it look & plays COMPLETELY different. With Backbreaker, and tecmo in the mix, maybe we can all get a football game we like this year. Im glad Madden is a option for those that like it. Choices are a good thing. I had given up on football gaming, but both bb & tb have made me interested once again, and the reason to return to the football forums after a long break. .

+1. "We're working on improving this, we've changed that...". None of it will matter and this info nor any other will even be remembered if consumers who buy the product have to wait until December AGAIN to get a decently finished product via patches.

I would gladly trade less back-of-the-box marketing features for a game that has been effectively QA'd and works correctly.

During this time of the year when new "info" starts to trickle out, many in their excitement seem to forget that that past several years have shown a pattern of the beta released in August, with the "final" build released in December.

So the question is, are we getting THE game in 5 months or 9?

The screens leave me disappointed, it looks like Madden 10. I was hoping they would get rid of that stick figure problem in 10, and add more meat to the players. The players are too skinny, they don't look like real football players.

And I guess it's impossible for it to be removed right?
