I liked the stat overlays. But most of them disappeared too fast.

It was nice to see that the drive summary is back.

Yea your right. They don't seem like the goal is to be authentic to the NFL. They probably won't even charge $60 for it. Your right about playing too. Going out with 4 or five guys like me who are average athletes gives me the exact same feeling as playing an nfl game as a elite player. Let's just be positive all the time so that way we don't hurt any feelings.

I'm not saying be positive all the time, like I said, constructive criticism is a good thing, it helps things improve. I guess what I'm saying is constructive criticism is good, nitpicking is bad. How's this analogy? It's like your working at your job... constructive criticism is your boss suggesting something and letting you work.. nitpicking is your boss micromanaging you and always over your shoulder until you meet their expectations. If that happens, it's NEVER satisfactory.

How come the halftime show and the entire second half of the Steelers Chiefs game gone?

Not sure but I really wanted to rematch how the CPU played the last 2minutes of the first half. It didn't seem right watching it live

Re: Madden NFL 15 Developer Livestream - Presentation and Graphics

My biggest question along with one of my bigger gripes regarding CFM-

How does the presentation incorporate the new draft picks in regards to storyline- are the commentators going to acknowledge the new rookie QB's and in their future seasons acknowledge their accolades?

Am I going to get the same Drew Brees intro regarding commentary every season until he retires or will they reference his previous season and statistics?

My guess is probably nothing. It's been the same for years.

I would like to know how they will handle those qb video montages for rookies, generated players, drafted players and traded players

I suppose I could be blind, I didn't really anything in this stream that bothered me. Not a whole lot that outright floored me either (except that one run by the CPU-controlled LeSean McCoy, I can't recall a CPU RB ever acting that intelligently or skillfully in Madden).

Would help if they had more enthusiastic presenters, certainly, and IMO they should bring back the slide deck so they can explain what we're about to see in the game and why it matters. Hard to pick up on everything just watching straight gameplay.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Developer Livestream - Presentation and Graphics

Y'all are being a little too picky, too early. For one, the colors looked a little washed out because its on a TWITCH LIVESTREAM lol not your 50 Inch HD FlatScreen at home. Also, the Half time show in the Jags game looked pretty nice. Also, Idk what that guy is talking about Gus Bradley (jags coach) having an improper celebration after a sack. That was Chip Kelly who was upset. They got it right.

I also liked the run game. Last year there were too many times where there was a lane that was possible to break through but you ran into the back of your lineman and got stuck on or tripped. This year it seems pretty smooth when hitting the hole.

Lol......so why was the first twitch livestream color so more vibriant?

What do you consider constructive criticism v nit picking? Your analogy is flawed because I'm not their boss. This type of thing happens to every product that people spend money on and are passionate about. I do think some can go overboard but, everyone wants different things to be authentic. I care more about gameplay than uniforms but, some care a lot about uni's.

EA are the ones claiming that the goal is sim gameplay and authentic NFL everything else. That's the bar they set. Why should I lower it just because they can't deliver? MLB the show, FIFA, NHL, NBA 2k all get closer to the authentic bar that is set. I don't here Rex lowering the bar. That's why I'm on board with him and Clint because they seem to get it. I'm not sure the presentation guys understand how far behind they are from other sports titles.

Where in the vid was McCoy's run? I missed it.

I agree about the slide deck. That really helped in the first stream. It's weird that they said people complained about it so they were only doing gameplay. Who complained? Twitter guys?

I actually prefer their "lack" of enthusiasm. Makes the presentation feel more grounded and not like they're some snake oil salesmen

No offense but it looks fine to me. All I see is the sun reflecting off the jersey. I know we dissect these games here but this is a little too nitpicky for me

I do think the jerseys should be blacker...but I agree, at the end of the day it's not a big deal to me. Some of the complaints in the uniform errors thread are just laughable to me (and I have posted in that thread myself), and petty. Especially when there are endless gameplay issues that we should wish to have fixed first lol

[SIR924]

Notice in the graphics department in this stream, that the steelers jersey did have a grayish look to them. So, I went back to look at a few images, and in those images the jersey's are black! Maybe the lighting in the game has an effect on them during time of game. (strange though)

How far into the video is the halftime show?

First one is missing. Second one is right at the end
