Madden 11 Demo Arrives on July 27

As I first reported during E3 the Madden 11 demo will feature full five minute quarters, and we’ve known for a long while now that the matchup would be New York Jets vs Indianapolis Colts. Gamespot today revealed more details which includes the news that the demo will arrive for both the 360 and PS3 on Tuesday July 27th.

Also noted is the difficulty level will be selectable, gameplay sliders will be available to tweak, the game will be played at the New Meadowlands Stadium, and the ability is given to create a full GamePlan to use with GameFlow (using only the Jets or Colts playbooks however). Creating a Gameplan will also grant the “Master Strategist” achievement/trophy once the full version of Madden 11 is played.

Clearly this is a huge improvement over how the demo has been handed in previous years. I still liked the idea of using the new overtime period for a demo but having a full game is a great way to allow people to get a feel for the pace and features of the game rather than having a rushed and ultimately unsatisfying experience which has been the case in the past.

Excited for the demo release.. thanks for the info!

I did a little math this morning — when I put the Raiders starting offense and defense on paper with the overall ratings of each player I average them out and get 77. As a matter of fact there are only two players on either side of the ball with less than 75 overall rating. How did the team get a 71 overall? Do they average all players on the team?

I also found it interesting that the last update on Madden 10 has Kirk Morrison (as a raider) with a less overall rating than in Madden 11 as a Jaguar. Bias, much?

I know what you mean (Raiders fan here). How is it that after dropping J Russ, getting Campbell, accounting for development of already good young players like Branch, Scott, Murphy, Schilens, Miller, Shaughnessy, etc; adding John Henderson, Wimbley, and improving O-Line, DB, and receiver depth; that the Raiders stay the same overall? The only big drop of was MLB going from 87 Morrison to 79 McClain. But yet weak points like DT and QB get huge lifts and it stays equal…….Madden just bases team ratings on hype and media bias I guess.

You gotta love a guy who bitches about others being “lazy, stupid and ignorant” while getting the motto he's complaing about wrong.

For the record, it's “Simpler. Quicker. Deeper”.

3 vids, 2 gameplay, 1 game planning. Gus Johnson gets Jim Leonard's name wrong. A lot of commentary gaps, but when Gus talks he's great!
