Madden NFL 13 Video - Madden Mondays #6: Presentation

[PacMan3000]

Does anyone know if the lead producer (or lead game designer, I guess) of the 2K games was the same person throughout the entire run of that series? I always felt that their presentation took bigger and bigger steps towards authenticity, and I'm wondering if it's because they had the same person in place running the ship, so to speak.

With Madden and presentation, it often feels a bit back and forth year to year, and I know the person running the show seems to change every 3 years, give or take.

For example, my guess is that the replays in Madden 13 look the way they do because of Cam Weber's presence, who previously worked on NCAA, where they also utilized those 3 scene replay/splices.

Thats what I meant. It doesnt need the actual ESPN, CBS, FOX, etc. logo but it does need a LOT of work and thats an understatement. Seriously, watch videos on youtube of 2K5's presentation. Its just sad that eight years later and in so many ways, EA still hasnt matched let alone surpass an eight year old game on a previous generation system. Sorry.....I know everyone here loves Madden but come on, I see even Madden fans complain every year about the same stuff and it never gets solved. Its time EA and Tiburon build the game from the ground up and add in what should have been added years ago. And I dont just mean presentation.

They gutted out the Extra Point in Madden 12 because they told us they didn't like it and want want to redo it to their liking.

Not sure if I see anything wrong with that.

Halftime show I just button through to get to the second half anyway.

Games already take well over an hour for me to play as it is.

Game saves would be nice, then.
