All sorts of impressions up at the Winning Eleven Blog. It’s worth a look if you want a lot of information on this title. First impressions seem positive. A quick rundown:
- More deliberate game speed, much more simulation than arcade style gameplay
- Much better balance between speedy dribblers and defenders
- Reminded players a […]
Some more Head Coach impressions…
* I am still loving the draft, as I’ve played it over a few times to see some of the variation. However, I’ve encountered one problem. First, if you offer to trade up and make it to the negotiation screen, it seems like the CPU will always take an […]
I played quite a bit last night, taking the Dolphins from the off-season, in order to go through free agency and the draft.
* I like the timed aspect of free agency…it really puts pressure on you to make a decision quickly. I signed quite a few free agents, since the Dolphins have tons of cap […]
I wish I could find the article or forum post at OS, where one of the developers said that Madden has a relatively small design team compared with other EA games.
I think that’s the reason by NCAA and Madden are slipping in terms of quality. NCAA and Madden have been been buggy messes. […]
First, high praise for Head Coach. Now, an announcement for patches and downloadable content to address problems brought up on forums, a week before the game goes out? On OS, Phil Frazier posted noting that patches and DLC may address (among other things) kick returns, ghost juking, CPU accuracy, field degradation, CPU sliders, […]
I have been thoroughly conditioned for Konami to continually make mistakes in the marketing of Winning Eleven…oops, I mean, Pro Evolution Soccer here in North America.

The first patch (addressing the online roster problems) was released today. As for the second patch, an NCAA developer posting on the OS forums has stated that man coverage and zone coverage (flat and hook zones) have improved, along with changes that change the starting field position from kick/punt coverage. However, there are […]
This could be promising for Madden’s franchise mode, which has needed an overhaul for years (e.g. poor draft logic for many years now). From the Madden 2010 lead designer on the OS forums
We’ve had some recent news that I thought I should share with you all…
If you’ve been paying attention to NFL Head Coach […]
I’ve been paying some attention to Madden coverage. A poster at OS/MM with an early copy posted the 1st two rounds of the draft in Madden, as exported from NCAA. The first round had 9 QBs picked and no offensive lineman. A 10th QB (with an overall rating of 71) was picked […]
