IGN: Madden NFL 11 Review

IGN writes: "For years Madden has been building features, gameplay modes and control mechanics for the hardcore football fans of the world. It was trying to emulate even the smallest details of NFL football and EA Sports enjoyed lots of success with its endeavors. But in recent years many newcomers were turned off by the complexities that Madden brought to the table. With that in mind EA created Madden NFL 11, an iteration of the series that is built more with the mainstream fan in mind, while still not losing any of the hardcore-focused accoutrements that have made their way into the package in past years".

I dont understand how everyone can keep buying madden every year. Maybe every 2 years but every year for almost the same game is kind of rediculous.

This review was actually a good read. He didn't suck at EA's tit like other sites who nothing about football did.

soccer is the much better sport IMO, its the real football. and this coming from an american. its just more fluent, fast paced, and less rules. american football is sometimes very stupid, i hate how its played like 10 seconds at a time. its technically a 60 minute game, and it spans to like 3 hours on television. soccer is a 90 minute game that lasts 90 minutes with some extra time given for penalties etc...

...It's a Gentleman's game played by Hooligans.

Whereas Rugby is a Hooligan's Game, Played by Gentlemen.

And yet everybody keeps saying Madden (insert current year) is the better than last years Madden.

When will people stop supporting the EA sports genre milking. Ea should offer a $20.00 patch with current players and update to the engine, instead of the last years game repackaged for $60.

because the game sells like crazy every year, why shouldn't they keep milking the foolish? I know I would...

Got a score of 8.9 while this one gets an 8.0.

So at least IGN doesn't think it's better. EA pays others people to say it's better.

Backbreaker kicks Madden's tragically oversized a**. Especially after its latest patch update, Backbreaker is simply the best football simulation ever made.
