Madden NFL 12 Blog - First Look at Presentation


EA Sports' Game Changer Jake Stein adds his impressions on presentation from his recent time with Madden NFL 12.

Quote:
"It's an October Sunday in sunny Tampa, Florida. But this is no ordinary Sunday, it's game day! The clock strikes one o'clock and without warning, you hear the canons being fired from the pirate ship. That can only mean one thing. It's time for the Bucs to hit the field.

Two rows of cheerleaders form a lane and led by Captain Fear and a group of flag runners, Tampa Bay storms the field. The player introductions conclude with the face of the franchise as the PA announcer says: "Your quarterback, from Kansas State, number five, Josh Freeman!"

The crowd erupts as one final canon shot booms throughout the stadium. Raymond James Stadium has never felt so alive. The 'Madden' franchise has never felt this alive."

Re: Madden NFL 12 Blog - Presentation

sounds fantastic, and as they really have paid attention to the tiniest details.

Madden NFL 12 also brings you a customized EA SPORTS television broadcast style. What I mean by that, is that banners, overlays, and stats are presented very similarly to what you'd expect to see on a true television broadcast, but EA SPORTS has tweaked that and made it something very original. Along with that TV broadcast style, comes specific camera angles that you might recognize. Kickoffs, field goals, and a few other areas of the game all use the same camera angles that you would see on game day.

I dont mean to complain at our first real info of the year but... that was a really short blog compared to what we have been getting in the past few years. They mention overlays and stats... show us a screenshot of some of those.

Agreed.

Both blogs were extremely weak and vague.

Nothing about halftime shows or improved commentary. Thats saddening.

The franchise blog better be better than this crap.

This is what I've been waiting to hear. The story will be told when unedited gameplay vids release. Still, it's good to hear Jake touch on this.

Adding their own originality doesn't scare me as long as it resembles something from TV. They're not doing CBS, FOX, or NFL Network presentation; I expect some originality to it as long as it still fits within broadcast.

Yeah, I'm hoping something more in-depth comes along later today (like NCAA did last week).

Re: Madden NFL 12 Blog - Presentation

EA we've already had stat overlays and blimp views of the stadium as well as the "TV broadcast style".

Where are the pre-game/halftime/post-game shows that we've been asking for years now?
