Madden NFL 11 will be an American football video game based on the National Football League published by EA Sports and developed by EA Tiburon. It will be the 22nd annual installment in the Madden NFL video game franchise. It is expected to be released on August 10, 2010 for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Wii, Xbox 360, and iPhone platforms.

Features

EA Sports is promising, through a press release, that Madden NFL 11 will be "simpler", "quicker", and "deeper"[2] with new features:

Gameplay

  • Simpler: Call plays like an NFL coach with ease using an all-new play-calling system, GameFlow, which executes an authentic, situational game plan for you based on down and situation.
  • Quicker: The new play-calling system will enable players to spend more time on the field and less in the playbook -- completing games in half of the time.
  • Deeper: "Madden NFL 11" is feature-rich, with many improved animations and control options, enhanced online functionality, and new broadcast and authentic NFL audio presentation that delivers the NFL experience fans have come to expect. Also plugging in a headset will put the coach's voice in your ear, offering heads-up strategy after the huddle.
  • Audibling System: New and easier Audibles to dial up more plays.[3]
  • New QB Rankings: New and improved QB ratings, based on Awareness, Agility, Stamina, Throwing Power, Toughness, and Throwing Accuracy.[4]
  • Improved Runblocking: Easier to run with core run plays.
  • New Kicking Engine: New kicking meter using a button mashing system.
  • Improved Locomotion: Improved locomotion is one of the core changes in Madden 11, as it introduces an increased significance on speed, agility and momentum.[5]
  • Online Team Play: New to the Madden franchise is the introduction of Online Team Play, which will allow up to 3-vs-3 co-operative online play for the first time in the series' history. While the new feature was first leaked to the public in April of 2010 by a GameStop listing[6], it was not officially confirmed until June when it was announced on GTTV's E3 All Access show live on SpikeTV.[7]
  • Online Boosts: Along with the introduction of Online Team Play, is a "boost" system to complement the mode. Only available in the online co-op, players will be able to earn attribute boosts to increase their performance based upon how well they play in a game[8], and may even be purchased through Madden 11's in-game store.[9]
  • Online Scouting: Online Scouting is a new feature in Madden 11 that will allow players to acquire scouting reports on their opponents by spending in-game currency that is earned for completing games and performing well.[10] Similar to boosts, Online Scouting will also be purchasable.[11]

Presentation

  • Cut Scenes: New Cutscenes including players in the locker room before a game and players walking off the team bus in the parking lot.
  • Player Details: New and improved graphics and textures of the players with their helmets off using a new multicamera, hi-res system.
  • Super Bowl Celebration: New Celebration scenes after the Super Bowl. [12]
  • Commentary: New commentary provided by Gus Johnson and Cris Collinsworth.[13][14]

In addition, gamers had the ability to help influence the rookie ratings following the NFL Draft by voting online on the official "Madden Football" Web site.[15]

Cover

For the first time ever, fans were given the opportunity to vote for who they wanted to appear on the cover of Madden NFL 11. The choices were Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints, Jared Allen of the Minnesota Vikings, and Reggie Wayne of the Indianapolis Colts.[16] Drew Brees pulled in the most votes and became the cover athlete.[1] All three players appeared in the 2009–10 NFL playoffs.
