#madden The revolving door psych ward that is the Cincinnati Bengals admitted another high-maintenance case yesterday with Terrell Owens. It might turn into a headache in real life, but with the focus in Madden solely on talent, the Bengals are loaded. More »

EA Sports discusses their decisions on who will shine in this year's game.

On July 27, Xbox Live and PSN will play host to a demo for Madden NFL 11, featuring the playoff game between the Jets and Colts, as chosen by the fans. The demo will feature five-minute quarters and four selectable difficulties: Rookie, Pro, All-Pro and All-Madden. Players will also be able to sample the new Gameflow system and unlock the "Master Strategist" Achievement/Trophy for the full retail game.

On top of the demo details, EA also sent along a plethora of new screenshots and some new division highlight videos, akin to what you've already seen in the AFC East and West videos previously posted. These cover the rest of the NFL divisions and are available on our video hub. Madden NFL 11 hits the retail field on August 10.
