Downloaded this yesterday and TBH not quite sure of it. Some asspects are good, like no sprint button now as default, but you can turn it on if you so wish.

Passing seems to be this years note, as rushing has returned to something meaningful wih decent line blockin asignments. Graphically its slightly more polished and even some new animations. Still verdict out on it but the more I play it the more I hope the full game has some improvements when it comes out.

Meant to add: here isClassics by AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, Guns N' Roses and More Highlight New Edition of 'Most Influential Soundtrack in Videogame History'

This year's Madden NFL 11 soundtrack features 23 tracks that recreate the ultimate live gameday experience via a collection of crowd favorites, stadium classics, and official NFL team fight songs.

After 10+ years of being a foremost showcase for introducing new artists - including Franz Ferdinand, Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine, Yellowcard, Wolfmother, Jet, The Bravery, B.o.B., Good Charlotte, OK GO, Fallout Boy and 30 Seconds To Mars - the Madden NFL 11 soundtrack focuses on stadium authenticity with classic fan-favorites by AC/DC, Queen, KISS, Ozzy Osbourne (including his new hit "Let Me Hear You Scream"), Guns N' Roses, The Hives, Gary Glitter, Blur, Ying Yang Twins and Todd Rundgren. Adding to the unprecedented authenticity are official team fight songs of the Green Bay Packers, Washington Redskins, Minnesota Vikings, Miami Dolphins and more.

"The term 'Madden Music' has come to mean music that matches the intensity of the video game," says said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Marketing for EA. "This year, we wanted the music to not only define the game, but also the stadium experience. These are the classics that consistently bring NFL crowds to their feet. It's an exciting new audio direction for Madden NFL, one that we know all fans will respond to. There is nothing like the experience of live football in a packed stadium, and the Madden NFL 11 soundtrack absolutely brings that excitement home."

I may buy it this year after passing on 10, which I would have bought after Christmas but my E74 error killed that idea and I got bored with sending in repair requests and not getting e-labels. Hopefully i'll have it back next week after a 36 minute phonecall last night and DHL picked it up this afternoon. The next issue will be getting MS to credit me the four lost months of my XBL Gold account

I bought 10 but haven't played it that much. I might not bother with 11 and wait till next year

[smiler]

360 are SHIT...pay to go on-line WTF..and over heats..had 3 of them and all fucked up..

LOL..yeah but have radiant heat here (heat comes down from the celling)

All electrical equipment fails over time, use it in conditions where it overheats and it'll be at a faster rate. I know someone who had to have their PS2 fixed numerous times (and wasn't covered by a warranty and free repair) which is more than their 360 which has gone down once in three years and was fixed within a week. PS3s fail as well, though at a lower rate. The 360 failure rate has also dropped considerably in the past two years. As far as paying to go online, the 360 doesn't have the pain in the ass factor the PS3 has with it's 'free' service. We pay for XBL Gold because it's a better service, and £2.33 a month for a reliable service is hardly breaking the bank. You still pay less for it in the US than we do in Europe. 12 months at Walmart costs about $35 which makes it about £1.85 when converted  

There isn't even a reason to buy one for a cheap Bluray player now you can pick one up for under £100. The only reason to get a PS3 is to but region free games, other than than you can keep it.

hate to admit Xbox 360 definitely won the console wars this round

PS3 has a fair market share but the xbox is the clear winner

yeah I agree smiler..but three fucked 360's later,I've learned my lesson...

DDP,I still have my PS2 (gave it to Lucas) and have never had any problems with it at all...I dont get "12 months at Walmart costs about $35" is that for the PS3,because I have never paid for going on line.

[mancunian]

You dont pay for going online with the PS3
