Madden NFL 10 Video: Halftime Report (Chase @ E3)

Those interviews were bad. However the rest was solid. I guess we can say these half-time/post-game show is bad in Madden, but the other cut-scenes look solid.

Yah, that's my point. Their presentation, while VERY good, still had it's hiccups. This year, with all the great additions EA made, it appears the halftime show isn't quite what we had hoped.

I'll do it since TJ isn't here. Wave bye-bye to TreyIM2 everyone. He's taking a "break" from the forums for a while.

I realy think the only thing it needs is some good nfl films music.......Please EA squeeze it in pre release.

[TreyIM2]

See, this is my point - There are people who jump up here just to hate on a game that is STILL a work in progress. That is the part that the trolls up here don't seem to get. It's one thing if u say that the halftime needs work, which it does, but understand that is an E3 DEMO that is going to be broken JUST LIKE the rest of the other games that are there in demo form. There are people who get up here and just flame on Madden just to do so. Those people need to growup.

p.s. gotta say in all the vids I am seeing, the qb has way too much time to sit back in the pocket.

Chances are the game was on pro...

pastapadre just got some all-pro difficulty vids made. Should be up sometime soon...

the more I think about it, the more it irks me. All they did was take the replays out of the little sprint window and make them full screen and autorotate. I dont know who she is at the end but if there has ever been something randomly "thrown into" a game this is it.

And you know what, I mean bad games have stupid stuff in them, great games arent just great on Thursdays, they are great everyday. And great games are great cause they get the best treatment. I am officially concerned about this game. I have had nothing but good things to say until now, but this bothers me cause if we didnt see it, they would be pimping this like its special, which they are doing for the rest of the game which we have only really "heard about" and not seen in action.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Video: Halftime Report (Chase @ E3)

I diagree with people saying this is a step in the right direction. All they appear to have done was take last year's system of selecting key plays and added some sloppily implemented and horrendously voiced window dressing.

I'd honestly prefer last year' system where you could pick and choose the plays you wanted to see at halftime and from what angle over this extra point embarrassment. As far as the voice acting across the board, either the audio guys working on Madden are grossly understaffed, under equipped, or, I hate to say it, under qualified.

Wow. You guys need to chill out. Is this not better than last year? In my opinion, we went from terrible presentation, to acceptable presentation. All of this was accomplished in just ONE cycle. Obviously, there are a few additions that were left out, but I can respect what they've been able to accomplish.

Most of you act like what you just saw will deter you from getting the game. Please. You'll be there right behind me at midnight.

True, but you have to realize just how much more money EA has and makes from Madden every year. You have to realize that EA has TONS of money in comparison to their competitors AND they have NFL and ESPN exclusivity. So pumping out a crappy half time show like this is inexcusable, where as the player interviews in 2K5 were done with what they had to work with.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Video: Halftime Report (Chase @ E3)

I don't understand why we always have to "wait till next year". Just one time I'd like to feel satisfied with this year.Don't get me wrong,I am still ready for August 14th,but looking over most of the threads,every one is already talking "next year",and THIS YEAR'S game hasn't hit the shelves yet....it gets kinda tiresome,none the less this year's game still looks good.

You Forget that EA lost over 1 Billion dollars last year, all the money madden makes does not go to Tiburon...

Correct, but with all that money, look how much EA HAS improved in one year's time under Ian's reign. WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more than previous years.

Again, yah, this halftime show was lame, but I'm MORE WILLING to forgive when I see that they have done so much already this year.

[pepp32]

Remember people Ian said we would be seeing an unfinshed product during the the whole E3 presentation. The game is still more than 60 days away and this feedback we're giving should help them out.

I think you are kinda going overboard. The game still has issues no doubt since it's an E3 build (don't know if you seen it but there is a picture of a missing field goal post lol).

Like yeah, that wasn't that good, but considering that it's an E3 build and also the other various improvements made to presentation in other areas of the game, I honestly can't see how people could get this upset over it. Adding music and making the commentary flow better and play more is something that can be done before the game goes gold.

Why do bloggers attack other bloggers when they don't agree with them? Does it make someone a troll because they see shabby things and call them out no matter how many things they see? I would be willing to bet the majority of people here would call the drive-thru associate on giving them a Big Mac when they asked for a Quarter Pounder.
