Will Madden 11 incorporate NFL Network and ESPN Presentation?

An absolute must this year! They need to bring this game alive with the crowd and make it sound like a true NFL stadium.

while, I think this is a great idea to have different network's presentation, the reality is, as many have already said, NFL network is probably the most we'd get and the catch to that is NFLN has the worst network presentation i've ever seen highlighted by unbelievably boring commentators. Even Matt Millen, who has been a great commentator in the past is just dull on NFLN broadcasts.

aside from the bottom right hand corner of the case...ESPN is NOWHERE ELSE.

Would like the license actually incorperated into the gameplay or presentaion.

Why else would you even have it?

To put the final nail in the coffin that was 2k5...had they not bought the ESPN license, perhaps 2k sports would've used it with their next iteration. Thus, they were forcing 2k to start from scratch if they were to try to compete.

We don't even get REAL NFLN presentation. Yeah, the Extra Point...not a real show. How about Total Access? How about 6 hours of the same follies shows and classic games they've shown for the past 8 months.....okay, that one's a joke...but it's not even any sort of real presentation in Madden...it's like they're trying to mix them all and come out clean. If Madden 11 had crystal clear presentation of NFLN (from gameplay to postgame/halftime to the draft/offseason), nobody would be complaining. Fact is, we have some hybrid of all of them and it TANKS.

If you're going to use NFLN, at least go all out and add the correct overlay (Something hinted at M09, but not even close)



Next thing you know, the excuse will be: Our EA bosses won't let us put in NFLN or ESPN because they want to further the EA brand of presentation.

We don't get NFL Broadcasts either because that would make ESPN mad. Basically, the NFL and ESPN don't want EA to use the other broadcast, or at least thats what I thought EA said. They need to hold a meeting and come up with a good solution both will agree on and will satisfy gamers.

To keep someone else from using it.
