Madden 11 Demo WOW!!!

I know I know I know i said i wasn't going to download the new demo for Madden 11 and all that mushy stuff about the feeling of opening the package but i lied OK! I just want to tell you that it's the most satisfying video game experience that I've ever had. The demo let's you play a full game with 5 minute quarters and a choice between the Colts or Jets! You know I'll never turn down a chance to beat/sack or intercept Peyton Manning so i choose the Jets.

The graphics really took a leap forward this year and the game play is REALLY smooth. The new feature that really got my attention in this years installment is the "Gameflow" option. Before you choose a play on offense or defense you can choose the play in the conventional method or choose Gameflow. When you choose Gameflow the coach calls the plays for you and tells you what to look for, all you have to do is execute it. You can also use a "head set" with this feature that will probably make you fell like your wearing Tom Brady's helmet and Bill Belichick is calling the plays in to you! This feature saves so much time because your not wasting time flipping through countless plays while the play clock is running. Gameflow also makes the games run very smoothly. When one play is over you hit X for Gameflow and the players are lining up again ready to go, it's just straight football. I guess a better way to describe it is you can really get into a rhythm with this option.

Well if you must know, i beat the Colts 18-17. Don't ask how i got 18 but it was fun doing it! Well since you asked, I kicked a FG with :07 seconds left in the game for the win. What a way to start this years Madden season with a win over Peyton Manning! The Jets are loaded but if i used them in the Franchise mode I'd trade Sanchez......sorry Jets fans!
