Madden 11

[sahyder1]

Drew Brees got named as the Madden cover guy for this year. If you're a Saints fan and a believer in the Madden Curse, I extend my sympathies to you. I get the game every year anyways but I'm loving the Amazon promotion right now where they are giving $20 towards the purchase of a future game if you buy Madden from them. I might just use that $20 to order NCAA Footbal '11.

I liked the introduction of the Wildcat offense into the game last year. EA is blogging about the new features.

They are supposedly taking suggestions on ratings for rookies as players getting drafted. Don't know how much fan input they actually take into account though.

Every year I say I'm not getting it, and end up getting it. But as of right now, no I'm not planning to buy it.

That's basically what happens to me.

I'm hoping that the franchise mode on the PS3/360 will have all the features that the Wii has. It's ridiculous that they don't have restricted free agency on those consoles but they have it on the Wii.

gamestop usually has some deal where you trade in last years and get this years cheaper. so why not?

I hope they add more/better play calling, better stat ratings, and most of all .... fix the freezing/disconnect issues and other buggy crap from Madden 10.

I'm leaning towards no, but if it's truly Gus Johnson, I'm 100% in.

[Tits McGee]

Will be getting it to continue EWBFL.

I always get Madden, this is the first year I haven't traded it in at all(06-09 I traded it in at least once, usually 3 or 4 times>>). Should be a good one.

[Cactus Drags]

I wonder if online franchises can carry over?

[Kyle_]

I doubt it, I'd rather start a new one anyways.

[Tits McGee]

you guys would wanna start over with the beatings i give people as the rams >.>

Just an interesting note on Madden 11 from IGN

Top Ten Quarterbacks in Madden NFL 11 by Overall Rating

1. Peyton Manning

2. Drew Brees

3. Tom Brady

4. Aaron Rodgers

5. Philip Rivers

6. Brett Favre

7. Ben Roethlisberger

8. Donovan McNabb

9. Tony Romo

10. Matt Schaub

I can't say I agree with that list. Brees deserves to be ahead of Brady, but I'd make a number of changes elsewhere. What'd be everyone elses ranking of the top 10 QBs? Mine would be.

1. Peyton Manning

2. Drew Brees

3. Tom Brady

4. Philip Rivers

5. Aaron Rodgers

6. Brett Favre

7. Ben Roethlisberger

8. Eli Manning

9. Tony Romo

10. Donovan McNabb

stat wise Schaub had an amazing year. they didn't make the playoffs at the end but he was a pro bowl qb who had a great year.

1. Drew Brees

2. Peyton Manning

3. Aaron Rodgers

4. Philip Rivers

5. Matt Schaub

6. Tony Romo

7. Brett Favre

8. Eli Manning

9. Ben Roethlisberger

10. Tom Brady

3. Tom Brady

4. Aaron Rodgers

5. Philip Rivers

6. Matt Schaub

7. Brett Favre

8. Tony Romo

[Mr Evil Guy]

i like that one ^^

[A-Dub]

1. P. Manning

2. Brees

3. Brady

4. Rodgers

5. Rivers

6. McNabb

7. Favre

8. Ben

9. Romo

10. Schaub

[Mysterio2000X]

Brady will need to prove he's still the same Brady of old this year, I don't see how Rivers isn't the third best QB right now behind Manning & Brees (in that order). Rodgers/Brady is a tossup, as is Romo/Ben/Schaub, and they're followed by Favre and McNabb (in that order). So, my top 10:

1. Manning

2. Brees

3. Rivers

4. Rodgers

5. Brady

6. Romo

7. Ben

8. Schaub

9. Favre

10. McNabb

Also, they've revealed the rookie ratings for the first three rounds' worth of rookie players since they're allowing fans to input their opinion as to what stats those players should start off at this year. Here's the link and, just looking at the base stats, I can already tell Bradford, Trent Williams, Okung, JPP, Iupati, Demaryious Thomas, Tim Tebow & Patrick Robinson are overrated from the first round. And underrated, IMO, are Kareem Jackson, Jahvid Best and Jerry Hughes.

Colt McCoy's stats are silly, too.
