The second title update for Madden NFL 11 has been released on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. PS3 gamers will be prompted to download the update next time they start the game, as will 360 owners, though 360 owners will have to manually download the patch’s biggest addition — Madden Moments Live — from the Xbox Live Marketplace.
Madden Moments Live is a new, free game mode that drops you into specific situations and asks you to recreate moments that will take place throughout the upcoming NFL season. For the time being, there are a number of moments to currently play through from last year’s New Orleans Saints team. Two to four moments will be added each week throughout the season. In return for Madden coins, you’ll be able to buy future moments either individually, or you’ll be able to buy the entire season’s worth at once.
Other additions in the title update include altered pre-play functionality that will let you alter hot routes, make line shifts, and so on with the same buttons used in Madden NFL 10. Either by selecting it from the Play Now menu or during October (the in-game month) in franchise mode, a Breast Cancer Awareness Month mode will alter the game’s theme to help support the cause. Additionally, you can now scout opponents in Online Franchise games, your opponent’s lineup can now be seen in Ultimate Team mode, and various balancing issues have been fixed.
