As promised, below are a bunch of stats that weren’t in the main Raptr Madden NFL 11 Report
Overall playtime over the last year for Madden 10:
Top five social games that Madden NFL 11 players play:
- Farmville
- Mafia Wars
- Castle Age
- Social City
- Frontierville
Our data shows that over 20% of core gamers play social games – Madden players are no different. Farmville remains the dominant game that most people play.
Top 10 games Madden 11 stole playtime from:
- NCAA Football 11
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
- Madden 11 Demo
- Madden 10
- MLB 2K10
- NBA 2K10
- Gears of War 2
- NHL 10
- Castlevania: Harmony of Despair
- Mass Effect 2
Our original report showed the top 5 games that people stopped playing to pick up Madden NFL 11. This data expands it to the top 10, and we decided to include the Madden 11 demo, though technically it’s not a full game. This expanded list does show more non sports games in the mix. Mass Effect 2 and even Castlevania are a bit of surprise to us, considering that one game has been out for a while, and the other is a DLC only game on XBLA.
Madden 11 Achievements:
You can always check out all the Achievements for Madden 11 and the percentage of people who have earned them already! Sony hasn’t publicly released their trophy data yet, so PS3 players will have to wait!
We hope you enjoyed the Raptr Madden NFL 11 Report! Expect more to come!

People that play Madden also play FarmVille? Say it isn’t so!
juxtaposing the social games and playtime games (the top 10 list) it’s such a contrast, interesting
Well sports gamers love keeping track of all sorts of stats and those social games up there are no exception. Kind of throws away the sports gamer stereotype though!
I missed the DLC. I will have to look for it… it is usually too expensive anyway. :(

In for Madden 11 for 360 please!
Haha, The farmville fanatic relation to Madden was a little surprising. Very interesting list though. I’m kinda surprised about the spike in play right before release too, I think maybe because it’s post draft and the majority of free agency is over with so people have edited some fairly accurate 2010 rosters by this time. Personally it’s the time when I go trade in the previous version before the price totally drops.
hm very surprising stats there
The Madden 11 driving people back to Madden 10 is exactly what I used to do when I was younger. I would always go back and play the older year before the new release. :D
Quite interesting statistics. I never would have thought Football players would play Farmville or even any Facebook App really.
That’s usually how it goes they get reved up on a previous game before it comes out.
Don’t get playing last years version prior to release but I guess it’s no different than playing the last halo or call of duty prior to their new releases.
Some of those were pretty strange.
I haven’t picked up Madden for the PS3 yet because I wasn’t ready to cut into my NCAA time. (See what I did there?)
i thought it was usually people trading in the old one before the new game drops.. not playing even more
Everyone always has to “brush up” when a new game in a series comes out. I’m not surprised the Super Bowl never has a free Madden game promo or something. You would think everyone in the stadium would go nuts over that
WAY KOOL!
Cool stats. Didn’t know about that. In for the contest!
omg free stuffzzzzz
Never played any of those social games…just sayin. These are [mostly] guys you are talking about, right?
The reason play time spikes for the previous year’s version before the new version comes out may be because they know EA will shut down the multi-player servers soon after the latest iteration is out.
The play time drop-off after 1st week is huge. DLC barely slows the drop down, then the end of the football season leads it off to die. If the NFL added some more expansion teams and made the season longer, it would reduce that trough.
In for the contest
Talk about useless facts. But I did read them all, and memorize most. Don’t judge me.
I have to agree that it is weird that people who play Madden actually play Farmville and games like that. The overall stats on this site are pretty impressive!
I’m not a big online Madden player, but I have been ramping up my FIFA 10 playtime, in anticipation of FIFA 11 next month.
Wow. Didn’t know that a new game coming out made people play the previous game that much again.
Hmm, didn’t think that the previous year’s Madden (Madden 10) spikes before the new one comes out, haha.
Yesss plz.
360 ;)
Stats are fun. I hope we get to see this kind of stuff for other games.
I don’t play any of those social games. Nor do I play Madden . . . FIFA 11!
I’m surprised it was higher when the new DLC came out than when Madden 11 was coming soon.
That is an impressive spike of playtime for Madden 10 a month before the next iteration releases. Must really be the football season brewing, or gamers just can’t afford that extra cash to get Madden 11.. lol.
Awesome.
Why is it shitty Facebook games are so popular everywhere? They deserve no recognition for having nothing of value whatsoever!
I guess everybody wanted to practice? Hmm. Interesting stats there. Wonder if this is true for other sports games.
Wow, it’s cool to see Gears of War 2 up there as a game that got beat out by Madden 11, considering how old it is compared to the others. Cools stats overall.
sucks to be NCAA football 11
If you ask me, i’d rather see my bf play Madden football than scream his heads off with his buddies on Call of Duty. Therefore, I’m glad to see these stats, true story for me!
I wonder what are the stats for used Madden copies that got taken right back to Gamestop.
interesting! I wonder if the spike occur across all games whenever it gets closer to its sequel being release.
I’m surprised Madden players play social games at all.
EA should patch in the pointer passing from wii into the PS3 when Move comes out.
must show friend these stats. lol
It does seem obvious that Madden 11 would take time away from Madden 11 Demo.
crazy stats!
I fond this post very interesting and informative
