As Madden NFL 11 nears its release date, your fantasy football experts will have more information on this page, including links to game reviews, updated player ratings, and any cheat codes we can find.

Since the game doesn’t hit shelves for another couple weeks, we’ve decided to republish the Wikipedia page for now.

Without further ado, from Wikipedia:

Madden NFL 11

will be an American football video game based on the National Football League published by EA Sports and developed by EA Tiburon. It will be the 22nd annual installment in the Madden NFL video game franchise. It is expected to be released on August 10, 2010 in North America, and on August 13 in Europe. It will be released for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Wii, Xbox 360, and iPhone platforms. The demo was released on July 27, 2010.

Madden NFL 11 Features

Madden NFL 11 will be the most up to date entry in the series. Features include:

An all-new play-calling system, GameFlow, which executes an authentic, situational game plan for you based on down and situation, which developers claim cuts the game time in half. This also includes headset enabled audio advice on how to execute plays. Differences from Madden 10 include a new kick meter, new audible system, and new locomotion animation system. Another addition is Online Team Play, which supports 3 vs. 3 cooperative play, with attribute boosts given as an incentive. You can also scout opponents in online head to head games. Lighting improvements, run blocking improvements, improved QB ratings, and a new “Swagger” rating have also been added. EA also is headlining improvements to the visual and audio presentation, bringing in Gus Johnson to call play by play replacing Tom Hammond. Cris Collinsworth returns as color commentator. If you win the Super Bowl in the game, your team gets a parade and a trip to Washington D.C. where your team’s star player will shake hands with President Barack Obama and present him a team jersey.
