Madden NFL 10 Video: Halftime Report (Chase @ E3)

Ok this is what it should be like. I changed my mind that is weak.

It would've been better if the highlights shown were actually highlights. I'll give them the pick-6... but a -2 yard run and a 1 yard run by the QB.....

That said, it's better than nothing.

This is true.

I disagree with that. If they're going to call it a "Halftime report", they need to make sure that it looks and sounds like one. Otherwise, they need to rename it "the look at boring replays with no commentary thingy".

I'm not bashing here, but I think we've been using that "we should be happy with what we got" excuse for too long. My theme with everything in life is go hard or go home. I hope that's not exactly how it's going to be in the ship version, because that's a disappointment.

I agree. Also, whenever she does talk (before and after the highlights), her voice sounds very robotic and choppy. Is she Tom Hammond's daughter or something?

Another thing I noticed was the order they showed the highlights in. They showed the INT that ended the half before the INT for a TD. Usually in an NFL broadcast they don't show you a half ending INT and then be like "oh by the way, we forgot this also happened earlier in the game, here's an INT for a TD". Usually it's in chronological order. Hopefully they have time to fix this before launch.

ummm.....well....uhhh...*pulls shirt colar* yeah...thats a halftime show....

I really had something else envisioned. Kinda like 2k5's, with in-game characters talking about the game, or other games. Not long pauses with sparatic generic audio saying nothing about any of the highlights.

Always next year to improve on it...

That is not very good but I really don't care. I rather have the presentation changes they made during game play and online franchise. I skip this stuff anyway, I skipped it in 2K, APF and I don't even watch the post game stuff in the Show anymore. For the people who wanted more I feel for you but for me this isn't a big deal.

That is in desperate need of music and voice over.

Why are all the camera angles so tight? That is not replicating a true NFL broadcast.

I heard the female voice over say that the Broncos were up "twenty seven." She meant, and should have properly said, "twenty to seven."

There were things visually I genuinely liked, though. But that halftime show is so weak and boring, I unfortunately think gamers will skip it altogether. It feels like they came up with it at the very last minute, tacking it on at the end before production on the game winds down.
