First Madden 11 Blog Coming During Super Bowl

For the second straight year the first news on the upcoming Madden will arrive during halftime of the Super Bowl. A blog posting will go up with discussion about one particular aspect of the game. For Madden 10 that was the “procedural awareness” and included details on what it was all about as well as a few videos showing off the technology.

Earlier today lead designer Ian Cummings posted on Twitter that the idea of having a blog at halftime of Super Bowl XLIV for Madden 11 has been approved. Prior to that he had questioned what area of the game people would most want to hear about and included options such as gameplay, presentation, franchise and online. Though it seems likely the blog will end up being gameplay related you can still send a message on there or leave comments on this article with your thoughts on what the blog should concentrate on.

Personally I think I would most like to hear about new authentic touches, atmosphere enhancements, or improvements to Online Franchise. I guess I’d just like to have something fun instead of something heavy at this time. It’s important to keep in mind that the information that will hit the blog will either be vague or very specific like it was last year. This won’t be a blowout of information but it’s still pretty neat to get something over six months in advance of the game’s release.

Ok….in order for me to even think about purchasing Madden 11 EA has alot of work on a lot of things thats very wrong with the game. The computer is wayyyyyyy tooo good for absolutly no reason. Now when I say the computer I mean players that arent supposed to be dominant for example a 3rd string running back from the Cleveland Browns by the name of Chris Jennings he shouldnt be able to come in and play like Adrian Peterson. They have to actually use the ratings becaus an 86 overall Matt forte who has 76 jumping and 72 trucking shouldnt be running and jumping over my Pittsburgh Steelers linebackers thats some BULL! EA needs to get around to fixing those damn screws on the visors turn down the AI on the Chain gang and on the fight for the fumble, and they need to put mouthpieces on players that wear them. When I play with Stephen Jackson I want to see a white or blue mouthpiece on him. Cmon EA

Madden 11 must have smooth tackling, and better running animations. I know that pro-tak is new and EA did a good job the first time around. This time can we finally have the best football game ever? The visors need to be fixed so that they line up with each helmet. the visors look great for the revo helmet, but not so good for the others, this wasnt a problem for EA untill they added the visor tabs, wich are cool. NCAA has the visors right …. so Madden 11 should too. and what happen to the grass stains???? I see mud and dirt, what about grass? Lets GO EA!!!!!! If its in the game, IT SHOULD BE IN THE GAME!!!! LOL. I got a feeling EA will have it this time, especially if they let people play the game like they did last year and give them pointers.

They need to improve Superstar Mode. That’s one of the main reasons why I buy the game after I buy NCAA Football.

I want to see a more authentic Pro Bowl. Like how they all have their own team's helmets. And better and more creative Super Bowl presentation. A couple college option run plays would be nice for the Titans. And a creative playbook peppered with trick plays.

Are you two the same person? This is not the first time I've seen the same two names have the same cynical attitude and “agree” with each other.

Authentic Playbooks.Every play/formation that was used by any team should be on the game.For example the Miami Dolphins use every formation in football Shotgun,5 wide,4 wide,3wide,2 backs,5-6 different wildcat packages,split back formation,etc.The Vikings have implemented lots of new plays and they've used some plays that the Florida gators use to accomodate their Wide Receiver/Tailback Percy Harvin.Teams like the Titans,49ers,Jets,Dolphins have used the option this year,i hope to see that in the game.Please remove the wildcat from everyone's playbook except the Dolphins and Jets.
