Madden 11

[Jonnie Walker]

Anybody else excited for the release? It's got an all new play-calling system, new kick meter, new audible controls, and a new movement animation system. It's also got Online team play, which has 3 on 3 games, and you can scout opponents in head to head games. Lighting improvements, run blocking improvements, improved QB ratings, and a new "Swagger" rating have also been added. Gus Johnson is going to replace Tom Hammond for commentary, but for some reason Cris Collinsworth is still in the game. I thought this was pretty cool, if you win the Super Bowl in the game, your team gets a parade and a trip to Washington D.C. where your team's star player will shake hands with President Barack Obama and present him a team jersey. The soundtrack has the fight songs of the Bears, Dolphins, Eagles, Packers, Lions, Vikings, and Redskins. The primary soundtrack is a little weaker IMO than last year's, but some people might like it better. This is the soundtrack according to Wikipedia:
AC/DC "Thunderstruck"
Archie Eversole "We Ready"
Blur "Song 2"
Bush "Machinehead"
Gary Glitter "Rock and Roll Part 2" (cover)
Guns N' Roses "Welcome to the Jungle"
Joe Satriani "Crowd Chant" (cover)
Kevin Rudolf featuring Lil Wayne "Let It Rock"
Kiss "Rock and Roll All Nite"
Ozzy Osbourne "Let Me Hear You Scream"
Ozzy Osbourne "Crazy Train"
Queen "We Will Rock You" (cover)
The Hives "Tick Tick Boom"
Todd Rundgren "Bang the Drum All Day"
Ying Yang Twins featuring Homebwoi "Halftime"
Zombie Nation "Kernkraft 400" (cover)
So, I'll be getting this the first day it comes out on August 10, anybody else plan on getting it?

There is a good soundtrack to this Game, but I doubt I will get it, I am not really into Madden yet I have 2010 and 2008, they are good games, but I just don't have enough interest in them to buy 2011

I already have it pre-ordered haha. I played the demo and I'm hooked. I get paid on Friday and I will put 25 bucks on the order, and then pay the other 25 bucks on the 20th. I work at Gamestop so I get a 15% discount. Then you subtract the $5 from the original 60, and I only have 50 left to pay.

In the demo you can only play the AFC Championship game. I played as the Colts. The first play after kickoff (Jet's possession) was a Pick-6 after Sanchez threw an interception to Bracket. It went 7-0 until the beginning of the 4th quarter when Bracket got another Pick-6. I also think Vinatierri hit a FG at some point.

I was impressed that I got to play an actual full game on the demo. The NCAA 11 demo only had 2 minute quarters but Madden 11 had 5. It was awesome.
