Madden NFL 15 Developer Livestream - Presentation and Graphics

[strawberryshortcake]

Nothing really changed in the halftime show presentation at all unfortunately. Should have figured, even though they said they were putting more work on it. Lots of the same post play celebration animations play out. Seems as though I've already seen all of them already. Don't like constantly seeing both arms raised by the players as part of the celebration package. It is what it is, I guess. Disappointed.

Has been open nearly every time. -Camera cannot be changed on the fly if playing same console co-op. -Seeing a good amount of stat banners, but like said before, they do disappear rather quickly. -Each coach has unique bodies and details in their outfits. No longer do they have turtle like traps(shoulder muscles). -Throws are off target in a good fashion. They aren't being thrown at defenders or receivers only. It seems like most incompletions are missing everyone altogether. It might be a coincidence, but it almost seems like they are being placed in areas that WR's will only be able to reach instead of just being off target at random locations. Lots of routes on the outer half having the ball being overthrown into the sidelines limiting interception opportunies and preserving possession. -Despite all of the new cameras and replays, the post play cameras are still kind of ugly. For example you still get that same Madden zoom in on the ball after an incompletion. More of a small complaint, but it gets older after it being that way every year. Also seems like the ball dies after a bounce or two and looks bad. -Terrible AI behind the CPU offense at the end of the half. No timeouts, 10 seconds left, they throw a pass in the middle of the field 5 yards away from the endzone. Should have taken the FG to make it 6-7, instead ran out of time. -Halftime show is short and basic. Shows off a few plays, generic commentary about it and has a ticker showing stats on the bottom of the screen.

I noticed no timeout was called before the half. I saw a timeout called before it, so I don't know if they had all been used.
I disagree a bit with Canes on the Half Time show. While it is short, they said they are looking a different variables to what is included. I liked that they talked about the fumble. Would have been better if they criticized the lack of calling a time out(if any were left)! It's still not the half time show that most on OS desire, but it's better than what it was.

I was wondering the same thing. I wasnt paying attention tot he Time Outs on the scoreboard. But the CPU not calling a timeout in that situation isnt a good sign for CPU vs Human Games

Ok, that TD catch was a thing of beauty.

[jmurphy31]

The catch in the end zone that gets challenged. The actual in game replay you cant see anything but the goal post. Awful angle on the replay

The challenge replay is much better
