Microsoft Games was Filming and taping Audio at Seahawks Camp Today!

Just to be clear, I'm NOT saying that I WISH for it to die. I'm just saying from what I heard last time it probably will NOT be called FEVER hence FEVER will be dead and the game will be named something else.

They have some good ideas--read n lead passing and momentum seems implemented well HOWEVER to compete the AI has to match Madden and ESPN.
It needs to compete with the animations of ESPN and less stiff, the presentation of ESPN, better commentary-I wish they would use Joe Buck or Dick stocton again but more variety, better running game, more crowd atmosphere, online leagues with living rosters--real divisions/same schedule as NFL season, more DEFENSE. Pocket passing, getting skinny running, more variety of player differences, improved PLAYER MODELS and faces, improved visuals--lighting, puddles, mud, snow effects, changing weather, wind effects,etc

I really enjoyed FEVER 2004 and looking forward to Microsoft's next video football game. The read and lead passing was the best new feature in any video football game in at least 10 years IMHO.

This obiously shows that they have been working on the game for awhile, capturing sound is not one of the first things in game development. Hopefully they are putting a lot of time and money into this game. You would think since it is from Microsoft they could take advantage of the Xbox more than any other manufacturer. Hopefully that is a good signe

And Now from the Seattle Times:

Sound designers from Microsoft's sports-games division recorded sound from practice and individual players for use in Xbox video game systems. ... Members of the Washington State coaching staff, including head coach Bill Doba, visited with Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren before the morning practice. ... Hasselbeck zinged LB Niko Koutouvides while the rookie was doing a voiceover for the Xbox crew. "Niko!" Hasselbeck shouted as he walked off the practice field. "Don't worry. In about two years, you'll hit puberty."


Ive been trying to find out what Game they are making, But cannot for the life of me get any answers! This is very, very interesting! Perhaps Hassleback Gave a Hint there "2 Years" I hope not!

Fever sucked! Way to arcadey play (90 yrd bombs all day), Graphics were crisp, but the players all looked deformed, and the god damn helmets looked awkward.

It can stay gone forever as far as I'm concerned.

Amen brother. I've played ESPN 2K5 and Madden 2005, and I may be in the minority but NFL Fever 2004 is my favorite. Let's hope it makes a comeback in next year.
