Madden NFL 11 (2010 Video Game) User Reviews

There are just way TOO many things wrong with this game.

OK first off, I can't even play "Madden Moments" it freezes every time I try to do the first one...that's a f**king rip off, sell me a game where barely any features even work. also, the difficulty reasoning is pretty stupid in my opinion...Mainly for the "my skil" setting. Instead of doing what they should and making the other team 'better' when the difficulty is set higher, all they do is make it so: Your receivers can't catch, you fumble almost every single tackle, and you can't do anything on defense. 2, the Hit stick is pointless, I've had opponents break out of tackles where 5+ players on my team were trying to tackle him. 3, the Cornerbacks can't catch an interception by themselves. 4, in franchise the players retire way too quick, Terrel Owens retires after the first year every single franchise I start. 5, there is no explanation for a wide receiver to consistently drop catches when he is wiiide open. 6, the crowd will boo every time you get a good pass or catch god knows why?? I get a first down pass on 3rd down, and in my stadium; "booooo!!" 7, Your defense will do NOTHING, just first down after first down, you might as well be the only player out there. 8, The defense is psychic and always knows where you are going to run the ball. 9, It will freeze at the end of a game...god. 10, sometimes the "clear cap penalties" doesn't even appear so you have to start over in a new franchise.

Overall, I have seen the same problems happening consistently throughout every madden game from Madden 06 on gamecube to Madden 11 on 360. It seems as though the creators could care less about improving the game. Stop trying to bring new features in before you fix the old sustaining mistakes!!

It is just very sad and disappointing how this is the only football game out there that is allowed to use NFL players. :(

Short Version...its bad

Where to start? Lets start with the good. The presentation is taken to a whole new level with shots of players arriving by bus to fans outside of the stadium. Gus Johnson is a great addition to the commentary team and commentary itself is non repetitive and immersive. Ands thats just about it for the good...notice there was nothing in there about the actual gameplay. Because the gameplay is bad, really bad. Chunky players with no fluid movement, clunky controls that always seem to be lagging 2 seconds behind. The new gameflow system that makes it easier for casual players is a total failure at higher difficulty levels. Overall Madden 11 is a huge step back from Madden 10.
