Madden 2011 - who else got the fever?

[QUOTE=ALBballer]Ye I've been reading alot of bad things as well.

I'm still waiting for my copy to come in through the mail.......[/QUOTE]

its not bad, its basically Madden 10 with a very slightly improved running game and a whole bunch of changes you will turn off or never use to help newbies (note to EA: people who don't like football DONT BUY FOOTBALL GAMES.) I sold it already on ebay for like $50 (only paid $45). I don't need it with so much coming out, its just not different enough. A bit disappointing in that way.

i cant stop anyone on this yrs game dont know if im just playing gurus or i suck at def or what i was good at def last yrs game... my offense is good dunno

Yeah, defense is like impossible for both sides, I'm 7-9 online, I couldn't stop anyone at first, so I decided to just do what they do.. Dump offs and toss plays dominate on this game.. last game with Jammal Charles of Chiefs I had over 400 rushing yards and 100 receiving yards.

10-2 online

it takes great focus to get stops

thank you rex ryan

man its frustrating how many people quit when it becomes clear that they cannot win in an xbox live game. my record is 0-2 but should be 3-2 cause douchebags keep leaving games. The last game made me especially pissed off because I was playing ultimate team mode for points and I had endured 3 of my own turnovers and been down by 14 points only to claw my way back into the lead and have this fcker quit on me.

upset of the year took out 10-2 skywalker 42-30.

49ers for me titans for him gore 400 yards 7 TDs alex smith 334 yds 3 td 1 int

VY choked for him

my rec is 6-6

Great job on the win man!

What difficulty level do you guys play on Franchise mode? I've only had time to get one pre-season game in, and I think it was on the default 'Pro' mode, and it was way too easy.

Also, what minutes per quarter do you play?

all-madden in franchise mode and 7 min qtrs no run off in franchise mode

but online v others is all-pro and 7 min qtrs 15 sec run off

Anyone else think Ultimate Team mode is trash?

Madden 10 had it, I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, you all would know better than I do.

I'm doing ok on All-Madden level in exhibition matches and franchise mode, but just to stay competitive with my 53 overall team in Ultimate Team I've had to lower the difficulty down to either All-Pro, or sometimes even Pro, against the CPU. No way I'm spending or buying Microsoft points to buy new cards either.

It's not trash, it's a quite inventive idea really, but I just haven't got motivation to play with such a crappy team in the beginning stages.

I don't think they even touched franchise mode.. Not 1 single fix in a crappy franchise mode.:banghead:

Read over the rules. Played in a league that went 3+ seasons with similar rules. We will play about 1 game every 3 days hopefully. I deleted my IshFL leagues otherwise I'd just message those guys that were in it. No cheesers.

Again, if you join ... read the rules. Don't just go sign the best FAs to make your team better. There is a FA period during the offseason where we bid on players.

:roll:

My friend was b*tching about that in the car and he was so mad about spending 60 on this game. (we were on our way to sell to a guy from craigslist, he got 45 for it.)

I know what you mean, my highest rated players are Caleb Hanie, Ian Johnson and Danny Woodhead, I got worst starter pack or whatever, EVER. :lol

I quite like the 'My skill' level thing. Had a good mix of wins and losses using it, which I like. I don't want to be dominant and find it too easy, but at the same time I don't want to be struggling every match either. My skill makes a nice balance. Though at times it does seem that if you're down maybe 2 posessions or more, it makes it easier for you to come back. One time I was down 19-3 against the Vikings (I was the Bengals) and ended up winning 25-19 or something like that. I don't know how much it lowered the skill level, but it did seem a bit easier once I was down so big.
