Well everything seems pretty awesome,especially the presentation! But I've been dooped before! The whole grass thing,I don't understand what they have done to it and what is the difference between the grass this year and last year. As far as halftime,is there going to be highlights as well as dialogue? Like the 2k NBA halftime show? But seeing is believing! I hope this year the fix the penaltys! Even with adjusting the penaltys all the way does much of anything,feels like your playing sandlot football! The bottom line i want a true sports simulation! I'm tired of all the bells and whistles! Oh I forgot,I don't know if anybody cares about this,but when your playing in franchise mode and you go to play a game ,you can change your uniform,but you you can't change the other teams! You use to be able to! I really liked being able to do that. My guess is they didn't change that and be able to do that again! Or I'm in the minority on that and not enough people to make EA aware of it and change it. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?Comment

Re: Madden NFL 15: Full Details of New Presentation, Graphics, Gameplay Mechanics
Couple more things for presentation:
- Coin toss is removed. Meant to get you into the game quicker. Apparently you select your options during the team select screen.
- Actual "commercials" during timeout breaks. This will include quick little clips from GMC, Snickers, etc.
- New Down and distance markers are in game
- FG range lines are in game in critical situations
- A lot of Nantz's recorded audio focused on player names.
- Larry Ridley does not only the halftime but the pre-game as well with some breakdowns of big match-ups.

Here is a simple thing EA sports do,go to Fox,cbs,nbc and study the way a real tv broadcast is done and take lots of notes! Or better yet get a copy of NBA 2k14 and MLB the show,and study them to! They both have nailed presentation for years! They became the gold standard long ago and set the bar!Comment

Actual commercials? Where did you hear that from?Comment

EA Sports Madden 15 Presentation - What It All Means
I doubt they will be full fledged 30-60 second commercials. My guess is that they'll be 10-15 second spots that will be extremely repetitive and probably button mashable.Comment

I was just thinking about improvements to the weather,why can EA sports become partners with the Weather channel,like they did in ncaa football,so you can actually play in the weather that the game is being played in real-time or make it we're you can actually adjust the temperature as well as when your playing a game ,if there is a chance that it's going to snow or even rain,the game starts with no precipitation and starts snowing or raining during some point in the game and if it can be intermittent ,stops snowing or raining for a bit and starts again and the precipitation can start off light and then gets heavy! That would be awesome! If the Xbox one and ps4 are as powerful as they say they are,they shouldn't have a problem making that happen!Comment

One more thing,are the 49ers helmets going to look more golden in color like in real life even and even at night,the saints helmets to and the raiders and cowboys ,patriots,Panthers helmets get the real shiny silver look to the as well during night games! Does anybody know what I'm talking about?Comment

Remember the backlash EA got from the pop ads before plays. I cant imagine this will go over well. If its button mashable, it wont be as bad. Granted I haven't seen it yet, but I would have to guess there are so many better ways to add product placement in the game then having commercials.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 15: Full Details of New Presentation, Graphics, Gameplay Mechanics
Yeah. It definitely stood out as something I was immediately skeptical about. I think it could work if they're 10 second little clips and if there is multiple versions for each product and we get one in between quarters and maybe one for one timeout in each half. It was always awkward before when it would fade to black and then just fade out of black back into the game so I can see what they're trying to accomplish. And if it keeps Nantz from mentioning Verizon six times in one sound bite every time I enter the red zone, I'll gladly live with it.
I just really hope they're not full on commercials that are non-skippable. That would be absolutely horrible.Comment

Great list thus far! Can't wait to read/see what they have to offer in terms of franchise mode!
But as far as gameplay and presentation, this list has me extremely excited for August 26th!

Re: Madden NFL 15: Full Details of New Presentation, Graphics, Gameplay Mechanics
If I was in EA shoes and they wanted to add more ads into the game, I would keep sponsoring the starters, halftime stats, player of the game, etc would be the way to go (like they currently do). If they wanted to put more ads via a commercial they should it similar to NBA2k highlighting an upcoming game and slap a sponsorship on that...Comment

It is on the to fix list, problem is I don't make the fixes. Sorry man, out of my hands.Seems they didn't get the memo that they have the wrong color for the 49ers pants. It must have been hard not noticing when actually having access to all 19 games they played in last year... and the 19 they played in the year before that... and so on and so on.
Kane99 told me he had this on his "to fix" list. I wonder what happened with that (what happened man?
).
Notice how they are actually darker and have a different yellow/blue differential in real life. smh.
I guess I'll go back to emailing the NFLPA, Jed York and everyone associated with the game or the league I can contact again. I did actually get a response from the NFLPA last year regarding the gold helmet, and EA/Tiburon actually fixed it midway through the release/media cycle (they showed a trailer that had the old flat tan helmets, then I sent a flurry of emails to everyone I could find, got a response from the NFLPA, and suddenly the helmets became metallic gold). It certainly couldn't hurt, although correlation doesn't equal causation, naturally.
Mods: if you think this belongs in the uniform thread by all means please move it.Please take note that most of what I say and post is made in satire.
