The 2011 installment of the Madden NFL series headlined new features such as a play-calling system titled "GameFlow", a new game mode titled "Online Team Play", and an assortment of other features. The game was advertised as being "Simpler, Quicker, and Deeper" than previous versions of the game.
A new play-calling system titled "GameFlow" enables the player to create a situational game plan based on down and situation, and is advertised to speed up playing time as much as one half of the total game time from previous years of "Madden". Another addition is "Online Team Play", which supports 3 vs. 3 cooperative play. Players can also scout opponents in online head to head games to gain a competitive advantage. Other changes from previous installments include a new kick meter, new audible system, and an improved locomotion animation system. Lighting improvements, run blocking changes, new QB ratings, and a new Old Spice "Swagger" rating have also been added to the game.[3] Gus Johnson does the play-by-play broadcast commentary, replacing Tom Hammond. Cris Collinsworth returns as color commentator from previous editions.[4] [5][6] A demo was released on the web on July 27, 2010. It featured a game between the Indianapolis Colts and New York Jets.[7]
