Yep, but I'm sure very costly for the latter two.

Re: Need a new scoreboard this year

I like Gaudin and Davis a lot. I get that it can get stale but these 2 are some of the best commentators Madden has had in terms of actual commentary product. I still don't think they're being used to their full potential.

Davis was brilliant to listen to during the NFL Draft.

Aside from liking the current pairing , I think the fact that they aren't huge names ( although Davis has had a increased role on nfl network with Mayock moving on ) in theory allows them to devote more time than say a Romo would be prepared to give to the role , and should result in a better product , although to be honest I've been a little disappointed in how this has been implemented so far it's still been a vast improvement over the Nantz/Simms era
( full disclosure : I loathed hearing Simms on real TV so that's not saying a lot )

I'm with you on Phil Simms.

Also, I believe the best things they can do with Gaudin and Davis is spend more time getting last names recorded for future franchise seasons and franchise-specific commentators.

As for the scorebug, if they're not going to change it, please add more stat graphics that are in line with what we see on Sundays or have some related to drafted players, statistics for QBs head to head, All-time stat references, "This day in NFL history".

We also need playoff specific banners, graphics, pre games, commentary, and crowd noise.

I'm such a presentation junkie and always feel let down in some way.

But, I do enjoy Madden.

Some guy here on OS has a thread where he photoshopped a lot of new ideas for banners in Madden. Wish all that got in, I'd never complain again!

I think they're awesome Charles Davis is brilliant. EA talked a lot about continually adding commentary with these two back when they started and I think they need to put more of an emphasis on that in more effective ways. They add lines of specific things that happened during the real season throughout the year but that does nothing for CFM or MUT which are the two biggest game modes.

I would imagine the updating the font and shifting a few graphics around is one of the easiest things the developers have to deal with.

If I were a developer, and trying to avoid the common "Roster Update" criticism that sports games often get, the first thing I would do is make some quick updates to the menus and score bug. It at least gives a first impression that it is a new game.

Re: Need a new scoreboard this year

A new scoreboard is the first thing you can look at and be like "yeah this is a new game". They do need to update it.
