    Re: BONUS Madden 10 blog!

    I say keep it special and only do it for the Super Bowl. Sure these other stadiums do it, but it isn't shown on TV every single time. If this game is going for a true broadcast feel, it should be Super Bowl only since that is the only time the TV audience gets to see these things.

    If you put it in all these other stadiums, the sequence will end up being skipped after people have seen in a couple of times.

      My thoughts, do it randomly in open stadiums in play now.

      Do it for half of the home games at open stadiums in franchise, then every playoff and super bowl game.

      The key is to make it seem significant. Most people really only pay attention to it on opening day and games when the stakes are very high.

          Hints?

          We were focused on really fixing up our processes and pipelines to make sure that it was extremely easy to add any kind of prop (i.e. a jet), animation (i.e. a player with his hand over his heart), character (i.e.a coach), and visual effect (i.e. smoke) into the game, without requiring the work of an engineer.

                First off I wanted to say "great blogs!"

                Now, I don't know if this has been talked about or not, but I do not want to see clones of players doing the exact same thing in the pre-game anthem. In the NFL many players do different things during the anthem. Some hold their hands over their hearts, some stand with hands clasped in front, others in back, some hold onto their jerseys like in the attached photo of Junior Seau.

                I found the video of the Giants vs. Pats Superbowl and took some screens from it. You see the same thing by all teams in other videos, but many times the camera men will only glare at the players face in a close up. You see in the video that Manning and Streyhan don't cross their hearts or anything by their stance, but you only really get a "bust" shot of them.

                I like what you have done Ian, but if you could have those in charge mock up a little bit of viriety poses and have maybe the compuyter do a random choice of what the players do, with having hands over hearts be a high percentage option?

                I just know this will help keep the game from looking robotic and scripted [I know it is computer program, but you know that you want to give the illusion of reality, and anything that looks robotic kills immersion.]

                        Who cares..keep it special..i believe that to be the orginal purpose. If i see the flyover at 75% of my franchise games I will not watch it after the first few times.

                              Phenomenal job Ian! I actually think we will all be blown away with the presentation of Madden this year. They have been very tight lipped about anything to do with presentation, and I would bet that they are going to blow the doors off next weekend and the remaining weeks.

                              Just please, please make the crowd interaction 100X better then it was last year. The biggest part of immersion in sports is how loud and passionate fans get at the games. The crowd should roar at good things that happen for the home team, and react accordingly to a big play, or turnover.

                              When we score a TD at home we should barely be able to hear our friend next to us on the couch, because the crowd is cheering so loud through the speakers. When the opposing team scores we should be able to hear a pin drop. It would also be great if the crowd would get progressively louder as a big play develops, and obviously 3rd and 4th downs should be crazy.

                              Please make this happen this year Ian

                                Call me crazy but I think Flyovers should be for The Big Games (Superbowl, Conference Finals) BUT I think a really nice touch would be to add them too Monday/Sunday Night Football. This would be a really cool touch for the night games.
