Re: Weds Madden and NCAA Shown

lmao i knw right ! we need more people like him getting us these up dates every year madden comes out, his interview alone topped ANY interview that was out prior to that {aside from the documentary w/ ian when we 1st saw colored cleats } haha

I know that you like colored cleats, but the allgames interview was the best interview I've seen given to a Madden developer in two years. Kudos to Scot! I hope he does the rest, especially considering the fact that he took a risk by letting us know something early. He's also actually a Madden gamer just like us!

Re: CPU to CPU Trades

Trades are in fact more common during offseason including training camp, but I think the OP meant from Week 1 to Week 6?

If thats the case then the other poster is right...Trades are NOT common during THAT period of time as they are in the offseason periods.

(If that makes any sense...ugh I need some sleep I think)

Re: CPU to CPU Trades

Other than Cutler and Tony Gonzales, I can't think of that many.

Re: Josh Looman Talks Madden NFL 10 Franchise Mode

Wow that looks great, my only question is will the Extra Point Show during franchise actually show some game highlights?? I still haven't seen a video yet showing a halftime highlight show or end of the game show, or franchise highlight show??

Re: CPU to CPU Trades

Sage Rosenfels, Julian Peterson, all those dudes from the jets to the browns during the draft, Lito Sheppard to the Jets, Jason Peters to the Eagles, and I'm still missing a ton. Trades are a big deal.

Re: No Video Highlights in Extra Point

I've just been begging for an "around the league" type of highlight session. If not weekly, then can we at least have some (in game) game breaks like CBS / Fox on Sundays?

Re: No Video Highlights in Extra Point

So I just want to make sure I got the info straight, im late to the party: So there will be a halftime highlight show and a end of the game highlight show with someone commenting and breaking down the plays, right? But there won't be a highlight show during the Extra Point show in franchise mode, right? My last question is if you just play a season mode with a team, will there bea end of the game highlight show, showing hightlights from your game and other games going on around the league? Please someone give me some clarification on this?

Also as far the Extra Point Show not having highlights in franchise mode, fellas lets start a petition/topic on the forum now to have Ian and the other devs to include this in a patch or DLC, forget waiting till Madden11, lets get this in now so this will solidify this as the greatest Madden ever.

Re: CPU to CPU Trades

Until the new logic team proves that the User-CPU trades work logically, I'd rather not see any CPU-CPU trades.

I remember being able to package bench players, random draft picks, and other pieces and being able to trade for any player in the league. If M10 comes out and I see that I can no longer do this, then I would be full on board for CPU trades amongst themselves.

I just have a feeling we'd see too many trades that would leave us scratching our heads until then.

Re: No Video Highlights in Extra Point

To my understanding highlights will only be shown from games that you participate in.

Re: Josh Looman Talks Madden NFL 10 Franchise Mode

Re: no highlights in the extra point..tough call but we wanted something (recaps) over nothing. They will be added in DLC, patch, or 11

I wonder what prevented this from being possible. I only really expected one fake highlight per game like 2K5 had. I thought it was a gimme considering that they have highlight functions available. I have to admit that this does hurt the franchise show an awful lot, and reduces it to being the same thing in a different packaging... I just gotta be honest.

I'm not super disappointed though, because I'm not a franchise guy anyway. I'm mostly concerned with Halftime and Postgame highlights, but I can see how this would be a downer for franchise folks. I think most people would've probably taken the highlights over the FMV personalities... you almost start to wonder if the FMV personalities are some sort of reason as to why there are no highlights. I hate to think like that, but Madden Team tends to make strange judgement calls like that every year so it at least enters your thoughts as a possibility, but that's just speculation of course.

One thing that caught my eye though is Shaun Hill's nameplate being wrong. Now I know Ian told me specifically here on OS not long ago that the nameplate situation was fixed entirely, but when you see the vid, you'll notice that Shaun Hill's nameplate says "S.Hill". This is wrong:



Unless they can't globally fix this, I can't figure out what the struggle is. I can't imagine how they couldn't have someone looking over this. I know the QA'ing of this can be done right. When I made the e-pak for 2K5, I practically edited every player in the game and I got very few complaints about stuff like this (and when I did I fixed it), and I was just one guy! The fail-safe is to check all starters and big-time players. If you follow that one general rule you'll almost never go wrong because for the most part that's what most fans pay attention to.

This is pretty much gaurenteed to be the best Madden Ever, I have no problem waiting until Madden 11 to have the best Football game ever. No Highlights in the EP show is not a huge deal for me. It would have been nice but I will wait patiently for DLC or 11. Lest we forget about all the other Improvement to Presentation, I will take that for what its worth...
