Just curious, but how long would you prefer? I imagine there would be several different answers from posters here to that question. For me, I think :30 to :60 seconds is just about the sweet spot. I do enjoy putting the controller down for a moment at halftime and seeing some big plays and stats. But after a minute, my ADD probably kicks in and it is buttom mashing time.

They came in at bad times, were repetitive and usually games that I had no interest in. As with any presentation items, it would be nice if we could customize it. I always like the immersion, but it is a fine line between enhancing the immersion factor, and becoming an nuisance that ruins the pace of the game.

When you hear "We've been watching this game closely all day" for the tenth time in one game ya it does get repetitive.

Surprised they did go full real time presentation but I guess that's for the new consoles. I'm just tired of seeing EA football constantly trying to cater to individual gamers or factions within the football gaming community, instead of just making the game true to the football simulation video game genre. Just make a sim game with options to customize it, not a customized game with options to try to make it sim.

I sympathize with this as well. I just believe the integrity of the sport should triumph over everything else when you claim to emulate a certain sport. There should have never been a discussion about making the game more user friendly by applying less momentum and more speed and quickness in player movement to supposedly improve the fun factor. To add in a slow motion feature yet disregard keeping a fundamental move called "strafing" in the defensive arsenal speaks volumes on where this companie's priorities stand. EA needs a long counseling session on finding their identity when it comes to football games.

Very nice to hear about the halftime show. Now to see just how in depth it actually is.

I am excited to hear this, but keeping my expectations low and not letting my "ideas" runneth crazy to only be let down.

I hope it is like NBA 2K's. Where they show the highlights of the best performing players for the 1st half highlights and do the same thing for a post game show. It was great but not too long or too short.

I'm getting sucked in and I hate it. I'm a huge hype type of person sigh. So far these long breaks in between release info is whats keeping me from saying yeah I'm preordering today. Anywho on to presentation I just wanna know how it's going to effect Dynasty anything "in game" to improve onto last year I think would be great. But stop with the constant in game updates in the 4th quarter unless its an upset.
