Madden 12 Gamespot SEA VS CLE GAMEPLAY WITH COMMENTARY AND CROWD

[Rules]

Could they have picked a worse play by play announcer? Everything he says is done WWF style which is so artificial. Color commentary is great but the wrestler play by play needs to be completely scrapped. They need to find a better person for this role instead of subjecting us to this annoying voice!

Next year or the year after they are planning on making huge strides with the new commentary engine, the first step was to implement this new engine this year and get the basics down and they are also using it for the DPP commentary in the game. The commentary should make a HUGE leap next year now that they finally have a new tech engine. Another thing to keep in mind, this is year ONE of Cam Weber's THREE year plan for Madden. I think with the strides we are seeing this year alone, most people would be able to see that they really are trying to improve this game and give us what we have always wanted. You can't just rebuild a game overnight. As far as your comments about FIFA and NBA2k's commentary, the difference between 10 and 11 for those games is not much, it takes time and I promise you EA will get the commentary in Madden on par with the other leading sports games commentary wise in the VERY near future.

Lol, man don't give me that. Why is Madden's tech never being transported to other games? C'mon now...that "tech" should've BEEN in Madden. And now we wait for the typical "wait til next year" approach? What happens if it isn't fixed next year? Do we wait until the "next year" after that.

I mean really, how many "three year plans" can you have? I think we should make a limit on them

Just as many three year plans and other the other side of the coin, the should of, could of looking behind you's. If you don't want to believe EA, that's your thing, it's not like last year before E3 they told us Franchise mode wouldn't be hardly touched for 11, but expect improvements for 12.

Basically, EA said, it would be addressed in the near future.

No need to kill the messengers.

How much do you honestly expect them to improve in one year? I mean you guys have RIDICULOUS expectations for one year improvements. I think they have made very impressive strides with 12 when you consider all the gameplay changes that have been made, presentation improvements, franchise, online, ultimate team, I mean there are a ton of improvements in Madden 12. If they have much better gameplay in 12 I think it's more than ok with me to live with one more year of mediocre, but improving commentary. IF we don't see a big jump in commentary next year then I will be disappointed, but this year I'm very excited by what I have seen so far.

good video.. but im gonna ask this question i found on gamespots video ..

Why is the crowd constantly jumping up and sitting down, even in between plays? Looks very unrealistic.

Also - why do the defensive lineman walk up to the line of scrimmage, right before the snap, like a a Ninja-Squad getting ready to stealth-attack someone? lol

Come on EA - fix this stuff!

I agree, next year should be a lot better with the audio and commentary. I can't wait until Aug. 30, Anyone notice the late date of madden release this year, It's usually out the first week of August.

Qwest Field is now CenturyLink Field.

If someone from the developing team catches this, then you must really be watching.

I imagine they'll change the logo on the roof of stadium at some point... To something like the one in this photo:
