Bought madden 11

had the urge to buy it....i don;t see what the big fuss is about it not changing...i thnk the cpu plays a whole lot better im barely winning my franchise games, better gameplay than 10 for sure.

cpu plays a great game in my matchups so far, its hard to tackle the cpu, and the cpu plays smarter, can't really rely on the money plays all the time now.

I TO HAVE THE MADDEN 11 GAME MY SONS GAVE IT TO ME AS A GIFT. THE GAMEPLAY TO ME IS NICE BUT IT STILL HAS THE 10 FEEL TO IT TO ME. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE IS TAKING THE TIME TO TRY TO GET MY ROSTERS RIGHT FOR THIS VERSION. ORTHER WORDS THE GAMES I PLAY AGAINST THE COMPUTER ARE DECENT BUT IT STILL THE SAME PLAYBOOKS ON OFFENSE AND DEFENSE. FOR THE SAKE OF HAVING IT IT OK AND NO MORE THAN THAT PEACE ALC

For me it was the fact about the online situation. It has been the same game for years now, with the exception of updated rosters. If they were removing the best feature from the game, they could have added more features. Like more game modes or something.

I find the game fun this year offline, the cpu plays a good game...i play on allmadden, and am 3-5 so for in my franchise, which never happens, not a big difference in gameplay but its harder, the cpu actually can call logical plays lol.

Yes, the CPU plays pretty good. The only thing is doing the rosters. Its a drag doing them. I just gotta order my depth charts, and i'll be starting up my season. (I love doing the off-season, signing free agents.)

I do my best to keep the panthers roster current, at least the starters, but i know next year half of the starters probly wont be starting, i do free agent pickups/draft to mix up my own team. buy yea the rosters suck but the games play better the cpu is owning my panthers running the ball for 120/game!!!

wow i play on all madden and the cmp hardly gets any yards rushing they may break off a big run now and then but they are lucky to get 75 yards rushing against me, the defense i play i either stuff the run or they get maybe 2 yards here and there.

I'm finalizing my rosters now. Done depth charts, and team rosters. I wanna go back and "tweak" some player ratings though. My roster is not perfect, but its good enough for me.

Man I wish we could share our rosters somehow!



Going to finally be starting my season within the next couple days.

For anyone who has played a season on the franchise mode, who are some of the "key" free agents available after the first franchise year? (I'll sim a season eventually to find out completely.)

Jrock, you talking bout free agents in the first year on franchise mode?

Theres alot of recievers, levarneus coles (idk how to spell), kevin curtis, and some defensive high 80 players...

I believe alot of good defenders are released. I always limit the amount of certain overall i can sign so my team doesn`t become too stacked.

Also quick question for anyone...What do you think of how all the players on SB winning team become incredible? I personally am not a fan of it i wish madden used more of a good season changes improvement

Its rediculous how they become incredible.

And I love the off-season. Luring FA'S to my team.

Man, one thing I hate in franchise mode is the stats. CPU stats are recorded as if they are 15-minute quarters. I play 5-minute quarters, so my player stats are nowhere near the CPU's at the end of the season. Its nothing that big, but I just wish you could adjust the simulation quarters for the CPU.

i believe if u sim seasons they are simmed @ 15 minute quarters... not sure if thats what u was saying atleast thats what i was told i play 7 minute quarters when i dont sim seasons and my stats are still never as high as what the cmp gets if i sim some my players get the kinda stats as what the cmp gets well least on defense offense they wont even be near what the cmp gets. now if i play a season i cant even break the 40 catch mark with any wr or te unless i just pass it to them all game long then i may get the stats of what the cmp gets for season, and on defense im lucky if any lb can get 60 tackles in a yr, but if i sim i get 2 to 3 lbs with 100 plus tackles lol,and my cb's and safetys are lucky if they get 30 tackles in a yr if i sim or dont which is weird lol because they both stay about same.
