Madden NFL 15: Why The Presentation Hasn't Quite Arrived into Primetime

2k is still the truth...

I agree with everything that was said except for the title. The title "one step forward, four steps back" implies that one thing was improved but everything else regressed. I don't think that any part of the presentation regressed. While it isn't up to par with some of the other sports games, it still was better than the recent editions.

Come on Chris you can't spell Phil Simms' name right or Jim Nantz's name right?

I'm fine with using Phil Simms and Jim Nantz, but they need to get the commentary to match the plays better. My last game had a routine 5 yard punt return and Phil was commenting on a phantom fumble and that the coach needs replace him. A few plays later I call cover 4 and Sam Bradford tries to go deep. Phil says I was in cover 2 and Bradford needs to recognize that and take a shot deep instead of throwing short.

I can put up with the routine one liners and such, but it just annoys the hell out of me when the commentary is talking down like I'm stupid and it's totally out of context.

When the commentary is repeating lines and you've only played two games, it's time for a complete overhaul. I agree, just use voice actors. Maybe 3 different crews for 3 different fictional networks. Another thing that irks me is why are the cutscene graphics still better than the actual gameplay graphics, even when zoomed in at the same distance? I can't be the only one who notices that. I thought we left that with last gen.

The gameplay makes up for the horrid commentary.

Cutscenes are always going to be better than gameplay because they are prerendered.

Ditch the soundtrack! Why is it even necessary? Throw the resources into making a much more realistic/believable commentary system.
