  • This might come in handy if i played madden 11

  •   Watching these videos just reminded me why i have not purchased madden since 07. The rate at which these guys break tackles is the most unrealistic thing i have ever seen. I mean at one point you have one guy on a running backs ankles and a linbacker has him wrapped up from the front and he still breaks loose for the big run, really i watch football every sunday and that is not in the game. And Tebow needs a reality check he ran through 2 DT and 2 LB this is not college these are NFL players. But i guess thats what you get with pre-made animations when is madden going to step up and give the fans real physics instead of cartoons playin unrealistic football, because half of what i see in madden is not in the game and half of what you see in real football in not in madden. Wake up EA your madden franchise has become garbage and your fans deserve better.

  • Some of the first places to look for Madden gold are 3-4 OLB's that used to be DE in college ball. Guys like Anthony Spencer with the Cowboys was a huge steal in Madden 10. I also like Michael Johnson DE with the Bengals. Moving FS Roy Williams to OLB is also a cheap way to get a good OLB.


    Also Aaron Hernandez he is a 67 overall but has a 80 speed and 70 catch rating. He is a real weapon if used correctly from the TE position.
  • They should have unlockable golden characters.  That are automatic wins.  

  • This will help me alot when i play.

  • I bet tebow's ratings will drop after the first update or so. Yes he trucked in college well and ran the ball well but literally the first time he tried that in the NFL he broke a rib. Nice going Tebow. So I say scratch him off your under the radar QB list.

  • I always use Bo Jackson or the Nigerian Nightmare, Christian Okoye...wait...wrong football game.
  • ZOMG!! Secret (not so secret) players I can use in Madden!! Oh, you mean all I needed was a basic knowledge of football and I would have already known most of this information?

    Weak.

  • MANNING FTW!!! I don't understand what happened to Manning setting the contract gap and Brady is recieving the most expensive contract? Does anyone else understand?
