Re: Madden 11 Impressions

And look Tiburon and EA brought this upon themselves, when EA Canada is receiving the plaudits from NHL and FIFA and Tiburon gets harsher treatment, who's to blame here? I was thinking about this same with in regards to Madden 11. I remember when NHL and FIFA were so bad in basic gameplay it was ha...

Re: NCAA Football 11

pre-patch this game was somewhat too easy. too many big plays. but post patch it plays perfect on default. I do not do any of the recruiting stuff either. I just let the cpu sim that and just play the games. I still play madden but if I play madden after this game, madden feels so cheap. I think in ...

Re: OT: Netflix Instant Streaming Thread

thanks for creating this thread. I am going to get netflix again and it's nice they've put some good movies/shows on streaming. I definitely will check out Spartacus.

One rec. from me : The Tudors Season 1. Season 2 and 3 are on there as well but Season 1 is the best.

Re: Is the 360 Dead?

I'm the opposite. I was burned out on console games the last few years but for some reason I'm back. For sports games this last year I've enjoyed nhl10 madden 10/11 and NCAA 10/11. Also love playing FIFA wc sa 2010. All these are on the 360. And Xbla has upped the quality of games to dl. Tecmo, limb...

Re: NHL 11

I guess I just don't know what to look for with regards to the physics engine. Like I said, I was exhausted and a little uninterested when playing the demo. Perhaps it's a little early for me to be thinking about hockey season. I'll give it another whirl with a clearer head. I still say, at first g...

Re: NHL 11

I like arcade/sim mix in hockey and really enjoyed last years game. Demo is different than last year. Seems like passing is a bit toned down, the passes are a whole lot slower. Also the player control has a looser feel. NHL10 you could stop on a dime arcadey style, which I like, but in the 11 demo s...

Re: Madden 11 Impressions

I think the most logical explanation is that they are overhauling the game next year in the franchise modes so this year they just gave you last years game with a few modifications they advertised as new features. It's not the first time EA has ever done that

Re: Madden 11 Impressions

I hope some of these problems can be fixed by a patch. The last patch helped fix NCAA. But some of the stuff in the game is bizarre. The main problem is the defense can't stop anyone. And at times, the cpu decides that there will be just up and down scoring for both teams. I've had games that were c...

Re: Madden 11 Impressions

I played some madden online and have mixed reaction. I think online plays a smooth game then offline. its hard to explain but i sense this game was made more for the online tourney type crowd then offline sim players. Gameflow online is broken for me. I played 2 guys where gameflow was being used, a...

Re: NCAA Football 11

I bit the bullet and re-bought the game. Just love the update. Played default all pro and had a exciting game as mich state vs mich. I lost a close game at the end but it was cool that whenever i made a great play, it was called back by penalty. It didnt seem cheap but realistic. My rb fumbled 4 tim...

Re: NCAA Football 11

After playing a game of Madden this evening, and then playing NCAA post patch, there is no doubt in my mind that NCAA is the better football game. To me it's not even close, and I've always been a bigger NFL fan. From my perspective, it's better graphically, runs smoother, has a better camera angle...

Re: Madden 11 Impressions

Kick returns seem fair to me. It's very hard to do in real life so I think they represent it well in the game. I played one game with the Bears and got a punt return td off with Hester. He was much faster than some of the other team punt returners. That was good to see. not every player should be th...

Re: Madden 11 Impressions

I think Ive decided to turn off gameflow. To me the game flows really nicer when you're calling plays or with ask madden. Gameflow hardly calls any run plays for some of the teams I've tried. I like All Pro now. Getting a good variety of games. I beat GB 42-14 on all pro but then my next game vs NYG...

Re: Backbreaker Preview - Natural Motion based football titl

this game seems cool, but not enough to warrant a purchase for me. Maybe if it drops to $20 or less I may get it. Just off the bat, it looks really complicated to play. Seems like you have to do a lot of stick jockeying to play. It does seem intense.

Re: NCAA Football 11

Playing madden the last two days makes me want to get ncaa again (traded it in for madden). Not saying madden is bad, just some things I like in NCAA. I think the controls are better in NCAA - they're stiff in madden. The players feel more agile and athletic in NCAA when compared to madden, especial...

Re: Madden 11 Impressions

been messing w/ gameflow and the best setting is leaving it on, and turning off the graphix and the voice. The first game i played must have been a fluke since I am having close games on all madden or just getting blown out now. all madden has been challenging. Night game lighting is great but it's ...

Re: Madden 11 Impressions

I like the slow version like last year. Once I turned gameflow off, it seemed slow like last year, but with gameflow on , it just drags. Also, the only difference I notice with gameflow off is I am getting big plays more on All Madden level. It's as if I can score at will at times. But on Gameflow t...
