Anyone download and try the madden 11 demo?

My impressions:
+'s
Nice presentation
Better running game than last year
Gameflow is kind of cool but I see myself ignoring it after a couple games


-'s
Before snap commands in submenus on the d-pad are horrendous. (Maybe there is an option for classic controls)
Graphics are hit and miss. I laughed at the way Peyton manning looked coming off the bus. He looked like a sasquatch (sp?).


Overall, I am on the fence if this is a buy for me or whether I will continue to just play madden 10

eh, your negatives are ticky tacky. How players look getting off a bus doesn't matter one bit to me.

Also, the dpad strategy thing is just new. Nobody will be mentioning this in 2 months once you master it(which I already did. Yeah I know im special.)

The gameplay is the big thing for me and I don't know how I feel about the changes. Things seem a little cartoony.

Gameflow sucks and I'm glad you can turn it off. Nobody calls plays but me. ME!

I already pre-ordered it months ago so I'll probably get it. Online team play is what I look forward to this year since they fixed it. And owning noobs online as well. My record is like 180-110, so im plus 500 which is nice.

Well, I am one of those guys that perpetuates the Madden cycle by purchasing 11.

I still really dislike the strategy pad but I will give it time. I predict it will be gone next year. If they want to get rid of the alleged nano-blitz problem than improve the blocking.

The running game is great.
I thought it was really cool that the packers playbook includes the psycho package and the 2-4-5. I have already used the psycho a few times to blitz as well as back off my LBs for mid field coverage.

I agree that gameflow is terrible and really feels no different than ask madden. I guess they have a gameplanning option where you can rate each play so that plays you like get called more in situations but it looked like it would take a while to set up. Conventional game-calling for me please.
