Madden 11 Demo Voting Update
The voting for what demo matchup will be offered for Madden 11 opened on March 30th with the winner to be announced on April 22nd, the day the NFL Draft begins. It now appears that a call can be made on the race as the AFC Championship rematch of the Jets @ Colts has been way out in front and by now has established enough of a lead that a comeback by one of the other options seems to be very unlikely.

Santonio Holmes Traded to Jets
For the second consecutive Sunday a big trade has gone down. It isn't very often that Super Bowl MVP's are traded, but when they are they generally fetch better than what the Steelers have obtained in exchange for Santonio Holmes. Holmes has been traded to the New York Jets for a fifth round pick (151st) in this year's draft. The Steelers have recently been dealing with a troubling image hit due to the actions of both Holmes and Ben Roethlisberger. Holmes is actually facing a potential four...

Donovan McNabb Traded to Redskins
The news has just broken that the Philadelphia Eagles have traded Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins. The compensation is said to be the 37th pick along with either a 3rd or 4th round pick in the 2011 draft to be determined on conditions over the coming season. This is especially stunning in that inter-division trades for high profile players are rarely completed. What the Eagles received was more than many had anticipated they would be able to get, and that could explain why they p...

Screenshot Comparisons: Madden 11 vs Madden 10
Already having four screenshots that have been released to date for Madden 11, I've gone into Madden 10 and pulled out similar shots to put side by side. The lighting, skin tone, and jerseys show the most improvement but overall the graphics are not drastically different. In the Miles Austin comparison you can see a failed sideline catch compared to how the animation should trigger in Madden 11. Continue on to check out the screenshot comparisons and leave your thoughts in the comments! (m...
