The Game Developers Conference, better known as the GDC, kicked off March 9, and EA isn’t wasting time with hinting at details into Madden 2011.

It seems the main theme for Madden 2011 is the speed of the game. EA mentioned that an average Madden 2010 game lasted about 63 minutes, however only 17 of those minutes were actual gameplay. Also, Madden 2010 had over 330 plays, but players only chose about 13 of them! Streamlining the experience seems to be the key focus of Madden 2011. I’m glad they notice how slow games can last in Madden 2010, we will see what changes they will make for Madden 2011.
