Did anybody notice that the entire in-game commentary is still the same? "It's a pretty rare kicker that can kick a ball that far with that kind of accuracy, that was just a cannon shot." I just heard that playing '09 today!

uhhh...
that was a pretty bland halftime report

Agreed, I'm excited for the weekly review but hopefully they'll make some changes for the halftime show, like not showing 1 yard runs as major plays. I think the dev. team should be able to fix that in time for August.

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

it should just be black and white, add some film crackle noises and speed up the framerate a bit

this is one of the funniest posts i've ever read on here.

thank you.

[Saijahn]

i agree with the general consensus, it's better than nothing

SERIOUSLY?!?!?

Obviously in this internet age, everyone's a critic, and nothing will ever be good enough anymore.

Yes, there's no sound, but you wanted halftime highlights and got them. Can we be happy for all the effort Ian and his team put forth for this game? They did a heck of a job this year in a one-year turnaround and, for me, I'm the most hyped for a Madden game EVER! I haven't bought Madden on a main console since 1999.

I remember back when they would hold E3 (or any game convention), and you had to wait a month or two to see it in EGM or Gamepro magazine. You'd get hyped off 1 or 2 pics and be fired up.

Now, people see a vid instantly with 1000000000 new things/improvements and people find one thing ("NO COLORED CLEATS!" or "THE NEW TOWELS ARE IN THE WRONG SPOT!" or "THE GUY IN THE BLEACHERS HAS HIS SODA IN THE WRONG HANG!") to just freak out over.

I don't know if I can handle 2 straight months of nitpicking before this game comes out. Please prove me wrong! Pleeeeeeease!

Stop makin excuses ya its better then..nothing..? but its that how far we have dropped. Remeber IT IS THE YEAR 2009 THE PS3/360 OUR POWERFUL MACHINES why are we getting a halftime-show that would be consider decent for Madden 2005 on the PS2...seriously. Im happy EA is makin improvements but when people say well at least they added it, hey its better then nothing is just ridiculous. No one is asking for a replica of a MNF halftime show but come on...no sound, showing a 1 yard play, no cutsceneses no broadcasters..really?

Im not happy about this. To me a halftime show means commentarry durin the highlihgts. It makes me feel like they left it out on purpose so they can put it in next year and call it a new feature. I am sad. I was expecting at least what 2k5 had. this is just the same as Madden 09 except theres a new halftime report logo.


but i am happy for the other show. the weekly rapup. that looks tight.

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

Better than nothing is about as high as I can rank the Halftime Show.

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

Ouch!! Man, I just saw the halftime highlights. Please, someone tell me this feature is not completed yet..right?. I didn't hear any play-by-play a-la Chris Berman comentary.

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

I agree it is way b3ttter than nothing but I was hoping for more. really if it had commentary on the plays itd be as good as I wanted.I hope there is soemthing special for the playoffs and superbowl tho.

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

I agree with those saying something is better than nothing.


BUT, let me just write now as if something isn't good enough.

I just watched it properly, and wow... Some chick says let's look at the highlights.. We see highlights with stats of that play. Then at the end that little stat comparison thing that chick sounds so robotic, some of the worst audio work i've ever heard. There was a game that came out in 2005 on PS2 in Australia a small budget sports game called Rugby League 2, that had even better commentary sort of stuff :|

Very surprised about that audio even being allowed in Madden 10, she should never be hired again.

I hope Ian doesn't take it too personal, I don't want to diss them, I believe in them and that we'll get a great product this year and the following years, but i'm stunned by this ladies delivery of lines..

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

Well after watching that a few words come to mind,Lackluster,unfinished,weak,boring,dull.

Not even close to what I see on Sunday on FOX,CBS OR NBC...But that is what many of us were told and promised....Correct?


I could go on but i don't want anyone banning me for my honest opinion.


The truth is the Bar was set high by EA and Madden 10 Dev's,but from what I have seen presentation wise leaves a lot to be desired.

I understand you want to make a new style,but all you really have to do is COPY 2k5's Presentation aspect(STEP BY STEP) and then add your touches to it,and only then will you have a complete FOOTBALL SIM GAME.Until that IS ACHIEVED you will continue to be swarmed with threads such as this one calling for you EA SPORTS Madden Dev's to bring your A game to the table in all aspects of the game,not the C- with this type of Presentation to the Madden Franchise.


That's my honest opinion. I love madden esp online,but it breaks my heart knowing that the game is not on the same lvl with a game made 5 years ago on a weaker system.

I hope you improve on the weak areas of the game,I am sure you know what they are.If not look at the threads with many people disappointed and you can start working from there.

Patches are fine and I am willing to see what Madden 11 brings,but you must understand. to be the man you have to beat the man...or in your case compete with the man.

I wish you well in your game improvements and look forward to your achieve-ful success.

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

should this even be a new feature? compare this to 09's where Madden says lets look at the replays and you can choose the replay and the view you want. Now this year a robotic lady comes on and says lets look at the highlights showing you a few highlights (INT's and 1 yard runs) and thats it....

Is this really a improvement over 09? honestly if i had to choose i might just want to choose to view my own replays. this is not a halftime show.

I pray this is un-finished but i have doubts because it makes no sense to show a highly anticipated new feature at a huge even un-finished jus 3 months before release date.

I think what we got here was a 95% finished product.

on the other hand gameply looks awesome, too bad presentation still isnt there.

[Ozeob]

Is it possible that EA are scared to use the whole 'ESPN' broadcast style (ala 2K5) because people will start saying they've copied?
Are they too 'proud' to not grab the idea from their competitors? If that's the case then it's pretty disappointing. It's as though they're going out of their way to be different and prove that they don't need to use 2K's ideas.
EA, please go and get ESPN's producer,director, artist and whoever else you need and get their input into presentation and use it next year, please.

I do like that they're trying to improve their presentation but it just seems like they're making it harder than it should be.
