I haven't played the EA football games in a few years, but after trying NCAA on a whim and loving it I'm looking forward to seeing what the Madden team did this year. The last time I played an EA football game regularly was marathon sessions of Madden 07 with my dad, so the improvements since then are pretty impressive to me.

I have but one question regarding Madden 11 (not really related to the demo); can I finally make a custom playbook in franchise? I haven't bought a Madden since they decided to remove that feature.

I know it seems like a small thing, but franchise is all I play in sports games.

I am pumped for this. There must be madden fans on this board.


Also I'd really love to stress the awesome that is ultimate team. Imagine combining your typical card collecting CCG, and mixing it with football. Sounds gross right? It's not!

So essentially you buy booster packs that contain players, "contract extentions", Coaches (which boost stats), Stadiums (Which can boost stats), and Uniforms. Cards are assigned a value based on importants, for example Tom Brady is platinum level card whereas the current incarnation of Michael Vick is only a silver.

It's so awesome. And free. Sure you can go the microtransaction route, but you also earn coins from games.
