Madden NFL 11 Screenshots and First Details (IGN)

02:28 PM - March 23, 2010 by wildthing2022000

IGN has posted the first Madden NFL 11 screenshots, as well as the first details on the game.

Quote:


	"Not only will players recognize the boundaries of the field, but Cummings also said that they'd be fully aware of the location of first down markers. "We have specifically tuned and added support to make it so receivers wait for the ball on a curl and have awareness for the first down. Also, receivers will now be working to catch the ball in stride on crossing routes so they don't end up slowing down or losing yardage," said Cummings. He later conceded that receivers will occasionally lose yardage if it means coming back to the ball and avoiding an interception. I, for one, can live with that. But what about defense? It seems with all this newfound firepower for the offense, the defensive guys might have fallen by the wayside. Cummings assured us that wasn't the case, saying, "We never want to make it so the offense is too powerful, so we have really focused on giving the defenders the ability to go up and also knock the ball out in mid-air. We've added all new animations for mid-air collisions so defenders have an even better ability to get up with a receiver and fight for the ball. With recent changes, players will definitely play the ball more aggressively, but the elite guys are the ones who are going to be able to hang on to it." So while you'll see wide receivers like Larry Fitzgerald going up in traffic and coming down with an astounding grab, there's certainly the opportunity for defenders like Ed Reed to make you sorry you ever tried working the ball into the middle of the field."

Maybe it's because the people at the positive side of the spectrum are more likely to have a good discussion and talk about helping the game instead of the ones at the other side of the spectrum that really do nothing but bash, never really stating their problems in a way that's mature (I know, I've been on sports gaming forums for a while). True but again, wouldn't you agree that the one that made the first statement are more prone to contributing to good discussions than the ones that bash the developers childishly?

Like the poster above said, no I don't agree with that at all. I think that people with favorable views on Madden or any other game can be just as immature and unhelpful as someone with a negative view. It depends on the individual.

I have seen plenty of people with negative views, offer constructive criticism in a mature fashion, and have someone with a positive view tell them that if they don't like the game, don't play it, or say that the game game is obviously good, look how many copies it sold, or any number of inane, ridiculous statements. It depends on the individual, not what side of the fence they are on with regards to a specific topic.

You seem to have positive view of Madden, that might be why it seems that it's skewed to you the number of helpful posts from pro Madden vs con Madden posters. I can assure you though, that that isn't the case.

I don't love Madden like I used to, though I don't hate it either. In my opinion Madden 10 is a decent game. Does somethings right, does a lot others that I absolutely can't stand. In essence, it's just there. Unlike most people though who criticize Madden, I don't really think that it is because it was better back in the day. I think that it is largely the same as it has been since probably 2000 and stagnating, which in some ways, to me, is even worse.

Yeah I agree but all I'm saying is that in my time at sports gaming forums, the ones that have more favorable views are more prone to give feedback while the ones that bash on the other hand make insults and over exaggerate.
