I bought the PSP Bundle with Madden 2011 and I've been pleasantly surprised. I love having a portable edition of it, and the fact that when you shut off the PSP and then turn it back on, it resumes right where you left off in the game. There are some setbacks and bugs but it's still a lot of fun. If you're a hardcore madden player you'd probably get annoyed by them but if you're just looking for a fun football game to kill off some time this is a good choice.

Bugs and features lacking include:
Sometimes it has you do the coin-flip again at half time. . very strange
I play with the Eagles and the announcers always refer to Kevin Kolb as "Curt Warner". . . wishful thinking maybe? They probably don't have "Kevin Kolb" loaded in the recordings.
You can't challenge the play (Honestly I actually like this, I always thought it was stupid that the computer purposefully makes mistakes so you can challenge them)
I've had it freeze once, not a big deal unless you're in the middle of the game
No automatic instant replays, extra footage of players or coaches on the sidelines, half time report, etc etc. They basically stripped out all of the frills as far as this stuff is concerned.
As far as I can tell, there's no button to throw the ball away when you're the quarterback. Surprising they'd leave this out!

But overall, the gameplay is actually a lot of fun and very balanced. Running and passing aren't too easy or too hard and defense is pretty realistic on All-Pro mode. They beefed up the 1-on-1 passing defense too which is cool. They'll swat it out of the receivers hands and stuff like that. Anyway, if you're thinking about buying the Madden bundle go for it. I'd pay $20 for this game but not more than that.

I think EA must hate the PSP. Not only are there no improvements for this year's Madden, things have been taken out of the game. There is no online game play, which means no updated rosters. EA should have dropped the price of this game for taking out the online feature. Also, this years Madden freezes up much more than last year's version. After spending a few hours on Franchise Mode, do not be surprised if the game freezes and you have to return to the PSP's main home menu. Also, the players' ratings are significantly different than those on the XBOX 360 version of the game. If you switch between the games, this can be confusing.

I love Madden, but this is pretty much the same game as the last release. Sure the rosters are updated, but I have yet to see any real difference or improvement. Still a great football game.... Looks like the PSP version didn't get any attention from EA.

They have taken out the on line play feature. There are now no roster updates. The new version is pretty much Madden NFL 10 lite. Madden NFL 11 has less features. If you still have your copy of Madden NFL 10 keep it, and do not waste your money on Madden NFL 11. It is a total waste of money and time. They should have discontinued the PSP version instead of putting out a very poor and inferior product. The have also have put out the same poor product for PS2. I have both the PS3 and Xbox 360, and I will not be purchasing Madden NFL 11 for them either. EA Sports can no longer be trusted.

I've enjoyed previous version of Madden on the PSP, but this one is complete garbage. None of the changes made this year to the console versions are in the PSP version. Worse yet, online play and roster updates have been completely removed. The game itself feels choppier to me, which I could understand if the graphics were improved, but they're not. The game still freezes occasionally, as it has in every edition of Madden on PSP. All in all, the game feels like it was put together hastily and with little interest. If you want to play Madden on the go, save $[...] or so and pick up Madden 10 instead - With roster updates and online play, it feels like an upgrade over Madden 11.

Who claimed that the NFL would let our Psp hungry? Here comes the new hot EAsport game. NFL Madden 11 !! This game may not be as beautifull as his big sisters on Ps3 and Xbox BUT, it does is a good, realistic, fast and original NFL game. To be honest I didn't expect a so good game, with the original comments and music from Madden Ps3 and Xbox. The franchise mode rich and realistic, you feels like a REAL headcoach. The playmaker mode allows you to create a offensive and defensive playbook ENTIRELY, what do you want more? In fact the the only difference between Madden Psp and Madden Ps3 is that with Madden Psp you can beat up on the pad everywhere!!

THIS GAME HAS GOOD GRAPHICS AND IS A VERY FAST PACED ACTION GAME,
YOU REALLY FEEL LIKE YOU ARE PLAYING FOOTBAL. GREAT STRATEGY FUN.

What can I say. Madden just gets better and better. Only gripes, no 'create a player' feature, and you can't listen to all of Collingsworth's commentary cause the play clock starts ticking for the next play.

I really am a big fan of madden, however the 2011 can be very frustrating. Unless you constantly save the game both during, before, and after the game freezes up unexpectedly and you can lose a game or several depending on how often you save. So make sure and save after every game, or better yet every quarter to ensure you don't lose part or all of a season. Also you cannot challenge referee calls which can be very frustrating when you know a wrong call was made. Lastly the jump in difficulty between all-pro and all-madden is ridiculous. But I think this is a common problem with madden on all platforms. I can easily dominate just about any team in all-pro, while in All-madden it is extremely difficult if not impossible to win unless your game is absolutely flawless.

its a good game overall. I like it alot the only thing that i did not like about this game is not being able to make your own character. Other than that it is a good buy and would recomend it to anyone graphics are great for
PSP, and you can go through franchise mode and take a bad team and slowy makem great over time.
