Sold it already.

I did

I got my copy on release day and wasn't too impressed, went back to MLB The Show 10 for awhile, played Madden a few times again and while there are things I liked about it, namely the running game and the lighting that was about it. I hate the animations, the players move somewhat jerky at times, they still "skate" around. Needless to say this will be my last Madden. They should switch with 2K, give them the NFL and EA should make MVP Baseball again.

Just my 2 cents

I rented it and think it's a solid game. I really hope there is a way with a patch to make it interesting on defense instead of a ticking time bomb before giving up a score.

I found playing on Very Slow helps with the skating and jerkiness. I liked the game before, but I enjoy it more now on Very Slow.

Great game with sliders.(sorry online gamers)

Waiting for patch to make it a greater NFL football gaming experience.

I didn't vote. I bought it, still have, and play it fairly often;however, I can't say that I love it. There's a desperate need for a physics based engine or, at the very least, pro-tak needs to be improved to the point where defenders can hit a ball carrier regardless of whether he's currently in a tackling animation or not. There should be no instances in the game where an animation cannot be interrupted.

Also, all of elements of NFL Head Coach 09, plus practice squads, need to be included in franchise mode for Madden 12.

It has its flaws, it isn't a huge improvement over '10, but I still play a game or two a day. EA is coasting off of the NFL's fanship. Thats the only reason I own the game. I was going to post a poll asking if people would hesitate to buy another company's NFL offering if it were available but figured it would be closed quickly. My answer to that question is yes, without hesitation. To this question, I like it, still play it frequently, but more because I am a fan of the NFL than a fan of Madden.

I sold mine too, definitely a bit of an improvement over last year gameplay wise but until they do something with the Franchise mode I won't buy another madden

This. Even without a patch I find this version to be better than the patched version of 10.
