Personally, I don't think it's a small addition at all. I'm a huge presentatation/immersion(ya that was me) guy, and this would make it really feel like Primetime.

Me too, I think one of my favorite things in a football game was the stadium pulse from NCAA 2005. Being on the road and having the camera shake while your controller was vibrating like crazy was awesome. Looking at your routes pre-play and they're shaking wildly and then you make a big play and everything calms down a little bit. Good stuff.

I need the crowd, that buzz in the air that keeps you watching even when it's not your team playing. MNF does a great job of that. It's not just the roar after a big play or the noise when the visitor lines up on offense. It's the feeling of having 80,000 people in your building hanging on every move of every player at all times that makes football America's Game. Madden's gotta find a way to bring that onto the virtual field.

I really like the premise of the OP"s idea and it seems like it could be added without using up too many resources. The general idea of using different banners and network style presentation elements for various games would be a immersive addition, imo. However, I think they should avoid directly mimicking real networks and just offer various in game network graphics.

For example, different graphics for AFC home games, NFC home games, Monday Night games, Sunday Night games, Thursday/Sat games, etc. Similar to what I think they tried to start doing in Madden 10 with Holiday banners and such but much more detailed and unique from one another.

Also, if next year they finally actually add a halftime show, they could maybe have a different person voice over each in game network highlights. So it would seem each games highlight show was on a specific in game network, adding to the immersion.

This was similary done with NCAA Basketball 10 with CBS and ESPN, i think they should do similar with current and CBS then implement all if it is a success.

The only question is whether the xbox can have more than 2 channels theme coz of their disk size which limits the ps3 from having more details.

I've always thought that would be a little much considering how you don't play monday night game's every week and such. And since they've put extra emphasis on presentation this year I have an idea that isn't huge and would probably be easy to put and I think it would a lot to enhance the game's presentation. Everybody knows that every week in the NFL, CBS and FOX have their own games and NBC has the Sunday night game and ESPN has the Monday night game. They all have different stat banners that are up during the game and you can always tell whether you're watching a FOX or CBS game simply by the stat banner. My idea is to implement this into madden as well. I've created some examples to show you visualize my idea. They are all based on the CBS, FOX, NBC, and ESPN banners that play during games and since EA loves to have their name on everything I made sure to include their logo in each one. CBS game (AFC team on the road) - This would be displayed across the top during your game. FOX game (NFC team on the road) - This would be in the upper left corner during your game. Sunday Night Football - This would be along the bottom of during the game. Monday Night Football - Also along the bottom I've also put these on a screenshot of Madden to give you an idea of what they would look like in game.

Love it.

Totally agree.

I thought of the same thing the other day.

I wonder if the MNF scoreboard will be different because they've introduced a new logo. So far in preseason it's been the same, but maybe they're waiting until week one to change it up. I haven't noticed if the new logo is in the broadcast or not. It's awesome by the way.
