Every year a new summer comes with screenshots, videos, and previews of the new madden game. This year the hype surrounding madden 11 is no different. The screenshots look terrific, the videos look even better, and promises have been made that problems from past maddens have been corrected. Undoubtedly, come August when the reviews are released, all the major video game media companies will give madden 2011 a giant thumbs up and rate it very highly, leading us to think that this year will finally be the year that EA Sports gets it right.
But those aren’t the reasons that this year’s Madden 11 game will be a hit. It will be a hit because it is forced to be. EA Sports exclusive deal with the NFL is coming to an end. New competition is sprouting up in games like Backbreaker. The game will be good because if the people who make it don’t do a good job this time around, they may lose their jobs. The standard has been set fairly low, because of past dissappointments, so all that needs to be done is to make Madden 11 playable.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have steadily declined over the past few years since their 12-4 season 3 years ago. However, in Madden 11 they will be a force once again. The key to Madden has always been time management and a solild defense. With the addition of Aaron Kampman and Kirk Morrison, the Jaguars defense is scary again. The linebackers are as good as they have ever been with Morrison, Durant, and Smith. But the true strength of the Jaguars team in Madden 2011 comes in their biggest weakness in the NFL. The secondary becomes scary if you move either Cox or Mathis to free safety and move the speedy Reggie Nelson to strong safety.
On offense, all you have to do is get the ball in Maurice Jones-Drew’s hands and you will find your way into the endzone. With rising stars Mercedes Lewis and Mike Sims-Walker, the offense is becoming very potent if Qb Garrard can return to form. Look to get secret weapon Mike Thomas involved on screen passes and drag routes. The Jaguars are by no means the best team in Madden 11, but they will be very usable.
More team specific strategies coming soon to Maddenholics, so keep checking in.
The Madden 11 release date is set for August 10th, 2010. The demo usually comes out about 3 weeks before the actual release date, so look for that on psn or xbox live in mid-july. Changes in this year’s madden include 3v3 co-op, a new locomotion system, the updated rosters, and as always some new plays and jerseys.
