I don't think they're allowed to put that in. I heard they had it years back and the NFL made them pull it.

The NFL is so concerned with their image, they strong-arm their way through a lot of cool features. Player personalities (remember players that were 'Team Distractions' if their morale got too low?) are another example of this.

For me the presentation starts and ends with one thing: play by play. And Madden hasn't a good team since Al and John (although I am one of the few who didn't mind hometown radio guy). Instead of picking the biggest names they need to pick two or three teams of local radio play by play guys, they are the best at describing the action and most of them stay away from the annoying one liners and catch phrases the networks love so much. For me another year of Phil "8 minute monologue" Simms and Jim "Dr. Robot" Nantz means another year of mute and Google Play Music.

I was just joking as far as in a literal sense.

That said, I still don't see why the Madden team is still so tone deaf with regards to what gamers want in regards to this (and I mean casual and sim fans alike). NCAA 14 dang sure wasn't perfect in regards to their cutaways and highlights but at least they were there and we appreciated the effort. I'll admit, I skipped through them 80% of the time, but the fact they were even there made it feel like a real broadcast. If a game shown impacted my game, even better.

Imagine a Madden where when you're in Week 17 and you need a win and another team to lose to clinch a playoff spot. After the play its cuts to James Brown's (or whomever) voice in the studio. He says something along the lines of "its not looking good for "your team" as Andy Dalton just tossed a 50 yard TD to put the Bengals up by 17". Shoot if they could show a replay of that our collective heads would explode. They could do the same for record breaking performances, MVP races, last games by HOF's, etc.

Even a ticker saying "so and so now leads NFC North" would be nice. Instead we get a ticker for XP.

The developers are aware of our desire for these things and I do expect them to comeback, it's just a matter of where it ends up priority wise and I do think immersion is important to Kolbe & John. I know they added some things for CFM commentary wise, the 4th quarter comeback display banner is an example, in hoping commentary is tied to that, I think it may be because Brian Murray doesn't like banners without commentary to support them. Those who played CFM offline should know they started adding commentary to banners last year for player and team statistics, upcoming schedule, playoff picture, playoff bracket, and those all had commentary supporting them.

A presentation is the process of presenting a topic to an audience. It is typically a demonstration, lecture, or speech meant to inform, persuade, or build good will. The term can also be used for a formal or ritualized introduction or offering, as with the presentation of a debutante.

Well at least we have some elements Brought back. EA has a while to go though. But I will admit I liked their Halftime show last year. Good Step, not a giant leap. I would like more hot routes, and receiver run routes period. On the fly audibles would be nice with the option to set Audibles for every team. AND Finally I would like More Double move options at the LOS.

Well if you want a realistic game, you'd want to be in the dark about how the other games are going because head coaches always claim they have no idea what is happening in the other games while they're on the field.
