Gus and Chris sounded fluid in the pregame talking about the Eagles - Giants. They have a few good moments. Also, I thought it was weird when Tony Romo came out, Gus said: "Originally from San Diego, California." That was it. Was really odd, unless I missed something. Also, Gus says "#.." a lot instead of the players name. So, this can't be even close to the final build, lets hope.

I thought I heard that too. Tony Romo is from Burlington, Wisconsin...

I agree. This is just a glitch, and with the game not coming out till the end of August they have plenty of time to sort out the dumb little stuff that isn't working right like this and the graphics showing only half of the starters on each side of the ball...twice.

I'm not disagreeing with you.

What I'm trying to say is maybe they feel they don't always want to mimic what's on tv all the time.

Let's say this feature wasn't put in, would people still be saying, hey where are all the starting intros?

Just saying.

Actually the entire goal of this presentation style is to make it look exactly like what is on TV. They are calling it an "EA Broadcast." The cut scenes and everything else are made to look like a TV broadcast. This is just a glitch. It should be fixed.

Depends on how far they want to mimic the broadcast.

In the video referencing Phil, he grabbed the mike and said, This is EA sports, not CBS sports.

I think they want to distinguish themselves as their own brand.

This would make sense if they did something better or more informative. Providing less info to distinguish yourself seems odd.

I hope your right.

In that video yesterday with Phil, he said, "There are the star players of the game and one of them is the key star player of the game."

Distinguish was a lousy word to use.

As I said a bit later, maybe they don't want to emulate everything that is on TV, heck I don't know.

All I'm saying if the star players didn't pop up, I don't know if we would be complaining , where are the starting line up pop ups.?

Why did they bring in NFL Films crews and other networks to capture the NFL feel and make it look like a broadcast and then change it so it's not...

Also,(I mentioned this somewhere else) why have these nice new banners and only show a few people and then not even mention them in the audio. A simple few lines like "Lets keep an eye on Witten today, he's been a monster all season especially in the red zone" ...It could even be generic like that and not even mention stats or anything (obviously it would have to make sense...Cant mention Witten being a red zone monster if he hasnt scored any TD's that year)

The starting lineup thing is not a big deal. Thinkingoutloud made a good counterpoint.

BUT if their intention was to include all 11 starters, and then there were limitations (as we've come to expect from EA's football games in some capacity), then I wish they would've dropped the player photos and just had scrolling text listing each starter/position.

Or as someone else had mentioned call the banner Key Players or something similar to this

I would like a window with the hang time for punts, but I don't see that.

Didnt they used to have that? That would also be a nice addition...

Yeah, I think your right, and it would be a great addition.

Hopefully, this years broadcast views are laying the foundation for starting lineups and hang time punt windows and anything that represents broadcast NFL football.

Those play calls were terrible,I assume it was the "gameplan" calling as there was no play call screen that came up. Execution almost equally as bad.

Especially on that sack.

I think EA is trying to do what nba2k11 did. 2k11 got TNT to help them with their broadcast last year, but it's still a 2ksports broadcast. I think EA still plans on fully utilizing the stuff they learned from NFL Films and cbs. I think all the new camera angles we saw in the cpu vs cpu game are proof of that. Also the new halftime highlights thing although it wasn't a show, definitely seemed more like actual broadcast highlights with the replays using the new cameras.
