  • Summary: Madden NFL 11 redefines the way you experience the game of football.

    There is no question that many may likely enjoy this game; however, do not expect the complete Madden experience we have come to take for granted.

    So EA didn't totally drop the ball; this offering just doesn't live up to the high standards we've come to expect from the Madden name. [April 2011, p.77]

    In an era where millions of football fans obsess over stats, build fantasy teams, and even tune in to watch NFL combine drills, I'm not sure what audience EA is targeting by stripping Madden of its core multiplayer and franchise mode features. Nintendo handhelds may not always attract hardcore gamers, but that doesn't mean football fans who own the devices don't want a fully featured game.

    More tech demo than anything else. [May 2011, p.65]

    The game is ok however the game was just too simple and didn't have many features (multiplayer and franchise mode) that the Madden games are known for.… Expand

    It's a decent football offering for the 3DS. It kind of sucks that there is not a multiplayer or online option. As well, the AI is not that difficult to defeat even on the most difficult setting., if you are just looking to kill some time and you are a madden fan, it is fun. I would pick it up as a used game though.… Expand
