Madden 360 in game movies
http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/7...71/vids_1.html
The first two at the top, it says insider, but you can click on the "watch now". Game looks incredible, just hope it plays well. I told myself I'm not getting the 360 or ps3 until I get a HD TV, but if EaglesFan27 raves about this one.. well.... ![]() |

Watch the end of the first movie, the Tampa kickoff... the Tampa guy who gets up from making the tackle walks right into the Green Bay guy, and does the old walking in place move while waiting for the Green Bay guy to get out of the way. Is it too much to ask to get rid of stupid shit like this?

Not really impressed myself. Those NBA Live ones from yesterday look a lot better.

One thing I read that should make people happy is that Madden 360 will not feature Madden doing the game commentary. They will have local color announcers with a slant toward the home team. Sounds like an improvement.

I wish they'd spend the same amount of time working on gameplay and the engine as they did on making it pretty.

Bee, It all depends. I for one, think this years Madden on the consoles is the best it's been in years. I'm still getting a ton of fun out of the game months after it was released. nearly the same engine is in the PSP version which I also enjoy. In some cases making it pretty does improve the gameplay. More animations, for instance, make things look and feel much better. (and more realistic) I'm not sure how the 360 is going to play. I'm really looking forward to it though. I do have to say that NBA2K6 made my jaw drop and that Madden didn't. I'm preordering that game today after work. |

Yeah, but everyone is answering your question- just looking at the pretty images is what is making all these ridiculous "I'm going to go and pre-order it right now" statements happen. SI

I'll admit, I'm preordering 2K6 today with those images being part of the reason. I own NCAA2k5 and thought that was a very good game, so I'm drooling thinking of a game that plays well AND looks like that. If I'm wrong, it'll be a $60 mistake. I'm not rich and that mistake will hurt, but it's one I can live with. With Madden, I preordered the game with strictly my '06 impressions in mind. It's been a great game and one I would get if the 360 has any improvements at all (and no Madden is honestly improvement enought) I'd preordered Madden and Quake 4 before ever seeing a single movie preview or screenshot of either game. I'm sure many will order the 360 because of those images though, no doubt about that one. |

Yep, it's time to sweet talk the wife. I want an Xbox 360 and Madden 2006 next gen. Sure there's still mario running and such, but the game looks incredible and bleeds immersion. |

Thanks for the link, Todd. This pushed me to call and move my Xbox 360 preorder to another store that has re-opened after Katrina. Hopefully, I'll still get my pre-order on launch day like I would have at the original store. The national help person said it wouldn't affect my day of pick-up..

No problem!! I like the playcalling as well.
Asked the wife tonight about the 360 and she said, "Fine, you get one of those and I get $400 worth of clothes." Uh..... OK!! I will be at Wally World at midnight on release day. ![]() Last edited by MizzouRah : 11-06-2005 at 07:40 PM. |

Very nice. I hope I get my system on time. For a variety of reasons, I can't discuss yet, there is a 50-50 chance that I will be buying a home sooner than expected (such as in the next 6-8 months.) Once, we get a house, a new HD (likely LCD) TV will be one of my first purchases for it ![]() |

Yeah.. mine's only 15" and is in our kitchen, you know for viewing while cooking. We have a huge breakfast bar/counter in the kitchen and it's really easy to get to the TV and hook up the ps2/360. It's only Enhanced definition, but my next big purchase (tax time) will be a 50+ HD LCD TV for the living room. Even with a normal satellite signal coming into the LCD TV, many people comment on how nice the picture is. Can't wait to see the 360 running with component cables will look like. |

Hmmm... doesn't show it in the pics, but maybe they do. I'll see what they have come the 22nd.
Also, Here is a HD Madden video: http://xboxmovies.teamxbox.com/xbox-...06-HD-Trailer/ |

I hope they have the Premium System. Those deals don't seem like deals to me. It looks as if they're trying to do an EB type deal, but with no savings.

That's pretty much everybody's thing. Microsoft can't nearly get the supply they need out there so everyone's bundling because they know demand will far exceed the low supply. And so you're not saving anything. Basically, you're just trying to find the deal where you are "least hosed" rather than getting a good deal.

I would also think that if you went to the store, you could buy the core or premium system standalone. At least that's what I'm hoping. I'll get the premium and a couple of games initially.

Might be able to pull that off, depending on where you live. But there's a reason everyone is selling in bundles- because they can and because they make more money by selling addons than the actual system. SI

Definitely holding off on the 360. May never get it, but in any case will wait for a price drop.

You will need the HD in order to play Xbox games for backwards compatibility. I don't know if there's a list out, but I know it won't play all of the Xbox games, but at least the major ones should be on there (Halo 2, Madden, etc.).

Mem Card= $40
HD Cables= $40 Core System with both= $379 Premium system with Hard Drive, HD cables, Live Headset, ethernet cable, and Media Center remote= $399 You say you'll never play on live but for $20, it's hard to pass up the difference when you also get a Wireless Controller in the box instead of wired. |

I'd check out Toys R Us for a 360 bundle. The one in my area just started taking preorders on Friday, I went on Sunday, they had 8 systems available to preorder and I was #5. Guaranteed for launch.
There was a $609 bundle and one for $760 I think, I got the one for $609. You have to put $50 down to guarantee one. Comes with Premium System, Extra Wired Controller, Madden, NBA Live, and Kameo. I'll probably exchange Live and Kameo though. |

I played the 360 demo and would love to pick one up on day 1, but will wait to see how the hard drive plays out. I don't think they should have sold 1 with, and 1 without, especially since the word from developers seems to be, yea we'll use it, we don't care if some people don't have it, tough luck for them. IE, read the madden interview up in this thread. Just seems like trouble for Microsoft.
