It probably won't happen to that extent but with how NCAA ball 11 included ESPN and CBS broadcasting with the right themes I don't see why madden can't do the same. I'd say with Madden they should do CBS and FOX. They should include more of espn and the NFL network since they have the exclusive rights to them.

So, while we wait for the demo to release, I've got a conversation starter...
Who here plans on entering, hosting, or has ever entered a Madden tournament? A local shop in my town may hold a tournament shortly after the game is released. It would be fun to enter and spend a day or two playing Madden against other people.

I played one at Gamestop and two or three with a dozen or so of my buddies. Whether you know the people or not it's just fun to play in front of a crowd. Also, here's the achievments/trophies for Madden NFL 11. They don't look as frustrating as the ones from last year. *cough* Kurt Warner avoiding a sack and throwing for a TD with his back turned and the ball at his waist *cough*

Just read that the Madden 11 demo will be out on July 27th. It will feature the Jets VS the Colts at the new Meadowlands Stadium, 5 minute quarters, and you will be able to create your own gameplan. Demo article on Kotaku.

I attended the actual Madden Challenge in Indianapolis like 3-4 years ago and got 5th overall .

My local blockbuster usually holds a contest each year. I've only entered the Madden one once and got spanked by the ing Redskins. I entered the UFC 2010 contest they had and got a $50 gift card from there for winning. Bitches can't compete with me in that game. So I have a friend who's a big Madden fan who was pretty pissed when he read about how "simpiler" they are trying to make Madden. It wasn't until after I highlighted the part about being able to turn it off and play as usual that he calmed down and got the sand out of his vag.

I won a copy of Madden '09 for 360 after winning a tournament the night it came out at Best Buy... I never even played Madden on a next gen system at that time.
I won't buy Madden '11 because it's always overhyped, never delivers on promises, and the 'Franchise' gameplay mode just doesn't hold up in comparison to the 'Dynasty' mode on NCAA.

Kliquid, the games are very similar this year in terms of gameplay but NCAA 11 didn't upgrade on the Dynasty either. It's pretty much the same. I have NCAA 11 and it is the best football game IMO but Madden will be equally as good or better for me cause I'm an NFL homer heh.

this picture totally sums up one of my beefs w/ Madden. and it is nit-picky, but what the hell? if youre gonna charge $60, make it right. mark sanchez is 6'2", braylon edwards is 6'3", dbrickashaw ferguson is 6'6"and rex ryan looks about 6'1" or so. ferg looks like a straight midget in that shot. it happens w/ every team and it annoys the crap out of me when i play and the damn referee looks taller than richard seymour. nowadays, height has such an impact on the game in real life that it is imperative that it be represented in the VG as well.

It's completely different. And much more fun.

I just don't care about college football, so it's hard to get into NCAA games for me. I had ab absolute blast doing an online franchise this year with my friends, so I am very much looking forward to doing it again.

I thought it was pretty good. Seems like some audio was missing (hopefully). I don't like the commentary as much, but the running game seemed nice.
