Set of Madden 11 Gameplay Videos

The Washington Redskins go on the road to face the Philadelphia Eagles in a set of videos that cover the entirety of the game. It was definitely an entertaining one and for those of you out there who watch through it all I think it shows off some of the mixed bag that is Madden 11. If you watch more selectively I’d suggest the first and fourth videos. I’ve also included a segment of gameplay from a Denver Broncos @ Oakland Raiders game where I mixed in some Tim Tebow using the formation that is included in the Broncos’ playbook explicitly for him.

Take note of the talk at the opening to the Redskins-Eagles game because it is the same thing for every single game played. I even fired up a Lions-Rams game and Collinsworth went through the very same spiel about Sam Bradford and Matt Stafford being experienced QBs. I was told that there would be a ton of unique openings based on the QB matchups (DoubleT23 on Twitter mentioned there were supposed to be 900+ variations). (Update) I’ve since found one that triggered: Bears vs Packers talking about the NFC North becoming a passing division and Jay Cutler and Aaron Rodgers being future Hall of Famers.

I’m guessing this is a bug and hopefully it can get fixed otherwise a lot of work that went into creating unique lead-ins went to waste. Gus also mentions there being an intriguing storyline at the start of every game and never follows up on it. I’ll go into this more along with my full impressions of Madden 11 Sunday night.

All videos feature gameplay on default All-Pro difficulty with no slider adjustments. Continue on to check out the videos and leave your thoughts in the comments!

Well, first of all, there is re-routing by all defensive players in every football game in high school, college or pro. For example, in cover 2 the corners are taught never to release the wr outside because it would be harder for the safety to get over because of the hole in cover two in over corner before the safety as well as down the middle unless they are in 2 buc. In cover two linebackers are taught to have the slot wr or te to release outside not inside because of the middle of the field is open unless in 2 buc. Now in cover three linebackers need to release the wr te inside because of the safety in the middle of the field. Corners in cover 3 will funnel everthing to middle because of the help they have from the safety.So, again, re-routing is allowing if done within 5 yards. HOMMY! Pressing is not the same thing as re-routing.

You said all that to say what I just said. It's illegal to re-rout after 5 yards. When jam or press a receiver (same thing) every corner does that with perpose. In general its to through off timing. I jam and release to the outside to use the side line as defender. Thats fundamentally sound football. However. the difference between good and great cornner is the ability to pick up tendencies and reading your keys. If the receivers rout is outside the only reason is that you are just system conner and you have the green light to take risk.

You said all that to say what I just said. It's illegal to re-rout a receiver after 5 yards. Just being vanilla if I'm outside and in press coverage I would release outside. If outside in regular or off man I would shade to the outside not for the reasons you said but to use the side line as another defender. If the safty cheats in side he can get inside and vise versa. If in the slot the receiver typically lines up off the line because he cant get off the jam (like Wes Walker) that's why he is in the slot only. Which another reason why I have a problem with Donny giving Wes a guy who only lines up in the slot upper 90 rating. A receiver that can only line up in the slot no matter how productive should get a 89 at best. Getting back to my point you probably not going to get a jam on him because he not on the line so I would just shade to the outside. All that is just fundamentally sound football.

I can talk corner all day wether it be man or zone but I was just commenting on coverage feature on Madden which comming closer to the real thing every year and this year is no different.

not gonna lie i think that it looks horrible, i find that the graphics and the gameplay is way better in ncaa 11, also I find that gus johnson gets to excited over some not so exciting plays im really not sure if madden is really worth getting this year.

Im a little disappointed with the playbooks.I’m into 100 realistic playbooks even though I like the gameflow feature.Teams like the Dolphins,Eagles,Jets,and even Saints are missing plenty of plays that make their playbook unique.I know the Wildcat formation specifically Miami’s Wildcat gave plenty of people problems as far as people cheesing with that formation.But this past year Miami tweaked their Wildcat as far as alignment and personnnel yet it has found its way on Madden 11 very dissappointing.Also all those Formations the Eagles had for Mike Vick didnt find their way on Madden 11.EA refuses to give us their best product to best of their ability.I may have given up on all Football Video games sadly.
