Hmm. Doesn't really effect the game but it seems like it would be Ncaa rather than Madden because that's where the Uniform craze started.

Re: Madden to Feature Uniform Fashion Critic in its Fake Twitter Feed
I highlight the bold just to say this: the design and flow of the career mode user interface is easily my biggest criticism with the game. IMO it's cumbersome to navigate and the player isn't presented with relevant information quickly or efficiently. I've written a few posts about this elsewhere and as such won't go into further detail here. |

Re: Madden to Feature Uniform Fashion Critic in its Fake Twitter Feed
Just my humble opinion, but with all the issues surrounding gameplay and missing/gutted features, it's a little disheartening to read about something as trivial as a fake twitter feed being "enhanced". I want to play football, not read fake twitter posts. This game existed for 12 years without Twitter, now after Madden 13 it HAS to have it in order to be "immersed"? What does that say about the quality of gameplay and depth of game features/modes (see NBA 2K, NHL, FIFA, and MLB The Show)?
I know I'm putting the cart way in front of the horse, but the last thing I want to see is come Aug/Sep they release the game and we see what's NOT in it, or what doesn't work properly and then have to listen to the company line about how they "ran out of time" or "if we couldn't make it work right, we didn't want to put it in the game".

Re: Madden to Feature Uniform Fashion Critic in its Fake Twitter Feed
YES it makes the game much better (for a franchise mode). No reason at all why Madden should not have this by now. I could care less about FASHION TWEETS.
I'm starting to believe that you're not trolling and you really believe that FASHION TWEETS are more important than more accurately portraying how the NFL and teams operate which would provide much greater off season depth and add greatly to off season strategy.

So basically it is a underhanded message to people who are demanding authentic details in their game?
Status quo Ftw. |

...he's arguing from a pro-fake Twitter feed stance, not specifically from a pro-UniWatch inclusion stance.
If you're going to argue against it, it'd be fair to not over-simplify his end of it.

Re: Madden to Feature Uniform Fashion Critic in its Fake Twitter Feed
First, basically what SmashMan said. I'm talking about the Twitter feed as a whole at this point, not just the addition of the UniWatch guy (ostensibly, the addition of content to the feature, I could not care less what it is for the purposes of the point I've been trying to make). As you have done on previous occasions, you're deliberately twisting my words in an attempt to make my point of view sound preposterous and ridiculous, something I really wish you would stop doing.
The inclusion of any roster management mechanic doesn't add or subtract anything from the context of a simulated world within a video game. Any feature added typically to enhance the presentation of the mode - in this case, the Twitter feed - adds context by building up the artificial world the video game is attempting to simulate. It adds a purpose - if only an artificial one - to what the user is doing. This is similar to the robust non-basketball feature set of NBA 2K such as the shoe editor, Nike endorsements, My Player billboards, postgame interviews, etc. etc. None of those features are basketball-related, but they add to the atmosphere of the game and improve the game as a whole. The MyPlayer mode in NBA 2K succeeds so well because there are so many features which add context such as what I listed above in addition to a great-playing game of basketball. Neither side of the coin succeeds in delivering the feature on its own. This is why I support the Twitter feed in Madden. It adds context. It adds a purpose to what I'm doing by providing information and narrative.
I wholeheartedly agree that the user interface in Connected Career mode could use improvement and have stated repeatedly in this thread and elsewhere that poor UI is my biggest problem with the mode.
The omission of the waiver wire if nowhere near as big of a deal as you are making it out to be. Would it be nice if it were there? Sure. Can Madden get away without it? Absolutely. Last edited by CM Hooe; 03-20-2013 at 06:36 PM. |
