sheesh it looks like the gameply is being played on fast

i still don't understand why they still have the same lackluster audible system. when im playing another user on the same xbox/ps3 i have to tell them to look down....what happen to Up on the right stick was deep pass, Down was run, right was play action and left was quick pass.. i hate i cant disguise my audibles

Actually you can. If you hold the A button on the play you want it will select it and you can scroll to the other plays. Only when you release the A button will it call that play, even if you have a new play highlighted. It works the same way in the play call screen. I still agree that the old system was 100x better.

Wow... it still sounds poorly edited together and super generic.

Sorry, I expected more.

Wow. The looked and sounded great. Just those two in the booth makes everything sound and feel so much more authentic.

Really excited to see more.

Good - Smooth intros with Sims. QB cadence sounds awesome. Just knowing that actually Brady and Rodgers was cool. The INT actually looked organic. Johnson didn't warp into the path, he took proper steps and leaned for the pick while looking for the ball. WR seperation looks easier to identify because of the improved interactions.

Bad - seemed like the commentary lacked excitement. Maybe it was lack of crowd notice when it was a big play. Sims repeated the same line twice in a sample segment that should have been showing variety. Some delay in commentary reaction.

Hopefully the sack on the screen play gets fixed. So tired of the QB not passing the ball soon enough.

I was left unimpressed after watching the video. It says big plays but the commentary sound lifeless. Also, the timing seemed delayed.

CD guys can you comment on the commentary you heard last week. Does it sound better or is it more or less the same.

Certainly a small sample size, but I have to be honest: the commentary was very generic.

I hope to hear more team/player specific lines as footage comes out of E3.

I did like that Nantz was on time with the interception call though in the SD/KC game. "He's looking to - that's an interception." That speaks to the new tech they're using, and how it allows them interrupt lines when big plays happen.

The commentary seems to be too generic. The line play looks very similar to last year. The read and react system looked pretty good, though. Overall, I'm unimpressed.

Specific detail:
Whoever has ever been to or watched a game on tv on Qualcomm stadium can attest to the fact that the field is hardly ever in top condition. In this video it looks like a pool table, it actually looks to me like something out of PS1, like an all-green carpet.

I really hope the field degradation is good and all stadium turf/grass don't look like a green wall.

Watch the livestream. They had a couple of nice intros where they did mention the teams and players.

By all means give feedback as brutal as you want -- as long as you don't call me names(!)

Re: Madden NFL 13 Video - Gameplay With Jim Nantz and Phil Simms In-Game Commentary

it sounded OK...

it sounded like something recorded in a quiet room with nothing happening...

i wish you guys could actually use in game calls, it might be hard to find a call without the guys saying a name but i am sure you can find something...

it sounds OK but it lacks emotion. It really sounds like lines given to someone to read...

I thought it was about the same as last years just different voices to be honest.Nothing special.It just doesnt blend together.Like the volume of the voices will get louder or something.And when they call a touchdown it sounds like the worst student in Drama class trying to get excited but cant.Just didnt do it for me.I hope the final build is better.But not expecting anything.

Not exactly as dynamic as I expected from all the hype so far. I just expected some random chit-chatter/filler commentary & more emotion on big plays but got none of that whatsoever from the clip. Hopefully it gets as good as advertised.
