Emphasize the need for a win if I am one game out of first late in the season. If I'm 3-11, then make a comment about ending the season with momentum. Star returning from injury or missing the game due to injury? Talk about it. I could go on and on, but you all get it. It's not enough to say that Watson and the Texans are going up against Mariota and the Titans. Yeah, we know that. Tell us why each game is important, and how the outcome will affect the season. I'm not trying to hate on the additions, I really like the direction presentation is going. Just want to mention what I hope the next steps are.

As it has been since the beginning of time...Madden consistently fails to build off itself.

Year 1 separate from Year 2 separate from Year 15.

The game basically resets itself at the end of each season, even worse, basically each week.

I like what they've added. The halftime show looks as good as it can be without highlights and that's fine with me. The natural extension to that is a post-game show as well. New pre-game cut shots are nice but I'd have liked to see the crowd arriving outside the stadium to give it a real-life feel. That said, I can't deny I'm disappointed that the scoreboard/ticker won't have changed. It holds back the game from looking new. We're obviously a long way from multiple presentation packages but they need to go that route.

Agreed. If Fifa can do it, there's no excuse for Madden.

Every sports game does it about now. NBA 2k, The Show, Fifa.... it's just Live, Madden, and NHL that fail to bring this into their games.



I wish Madden followed Fifa more than it followed NHL or NBA Live.
