Anyone else enjoying the heck out of the Extra Point show?

Predictions for the draft with commentary and screens showing the 1st round projections. Also add special commentary to top draft picks as well as sleepers like they did in NFL Head Coach 09. EA..you'd complete me if you did this.

I 2nd this.

Also, adding showing some clips of major injury's would be cool. Kinda like how in week 1 last year we had to watch the Tom Brady injury on all the highlight shows. Maybe add the clips for players rated 90 and over so there's not to many of them.

Then again, didn't that other game do something like this?

The weekly show is pretty damn good and informative. It just needs highlights and it would almost be perfect.

The halftime show still needs much more work.

Exactly...If the show hadn't mentioned at, I would have had no idea that through two awful blowout losses, I am actually leading the NFL in 3rd down conversions.

I actually like the show, I just think it needs a few tweaks to be great.

1) There's little variety in the show--the biggest thing, to me, is the fact that every week, Fran and Alex look the same. Fran needs to have, maybe, five different suits and ties that we see. Same with Alex--different clothing, different hairstyles, etc. It would go a long way to having the show feel more fresh and simulating the feeling of these people going through a 16 game schedule with you.

I'd also like to hear Fran make things more specific like, "Welcome to week six of the Extra Point show" or "Happy Halloween. The end of October is here but the playoff push is just starting. Welcome to..."

2) Obviously we want highlights, but I'd also like to see them talk about players that were signed, released, traded, and hurt throughout the show.

But I love the presentation of the show--the look is great and very slick. I actually like seeing humans talking about the games rather than 3-D renderings or an omnipresent voice narrator.

that's the theme for the last 6 years of Madden. No effort in presentation. They have a benchmark, and they still don't get it right.

They should've never even put that crap in. It's my one gripe with the game.

Alex flannigan is horrible ; why'd EA even bother ? I hate having to button through that crap !

You won't be able to see it until the regular season. Just press "Y" inside of the franchise hub at the end of the week of games.
