Madden Moments Live Week Two
EA Sports has released the week two set of "moments" to purchase in Madden Moments Live. There are three this week featuring last minute drives led by Kerry Collins and Joe Flacco and changing the outcome of the Patriots-Jets matchup. Interestingly the one game from the weekend which seemed like a lock to make the cut, the Texans-Redskins affair having involved a 17 point comeback by Houston and an eventual win in overtime, was not selected. Titans vs. Steelers: Enter Collins - Tennessee ...

Madden 11 Week Two Ratings Change Suggestions
After the opening week in which offenses tended to struggle week two brought more in the way of high scoring games and big offensive performances from players. It was also a weekend which saw quite a bit of shifting at quarterback as coaches lost their patience with starters and looked to backups for a spark.

Madden 11 Week One Ratings Change Suggestions
It was an entertaining opening weekend to the NFL season as several games went down to the wire and some heavily hyped teams came crashing back down to earth. Last week's roster update was primarily intended to get in the most accurate 53 man rosters possible and didn't focus much on adjusting ratings. This first update of the regular season should see more in the way of ratings changes as the first game and preseason has established a better sense of the level players are performing at and th...

Madden 11 Ranked Online Games Now Use Six Minute Quarters
In a change that just recently appeared, and follows the patch that arrived during the week, Madden 11 ranked games have now moved to six minute quarters from the seven minutes they had been set to since last year. Games were deemed to be taking too long to complete and it appears a compromise was made when considering the seven minutes vs a proposed five minutes. Accelerated clock remains on. (more…)...
