But they have guys who have been spending months hyping everything up and then want to get mad when people aren't falling over themselves congraulating them on their presentation.

okay true but the only thing they droped the ball on is comenting during the halftime replays. the other stuff including the franchise show thing look really good. at least way better than 09

The animations don't look that good to me at all.

i didn't find it to be horrible at all.

I mean, c'mon guys... after a month, we'll be skipping the halftime show anyway. It's really not such a big deal. The game looks solid. Let's hope it's what we prayed for and not another '09...

What is the point of a halftime report that just shows highlights with no one in the studio talking about them? Waste of time, space and effort if you ask me. Do it right or don't put it in until you can

Not true, I still watch the halftime show in every 2k5 game I play.

Overall Madden 10 seems like en awesome game so far. Gameplay is good, at least better than last year. Graphics and weather effects are top-notch and in-game presentation (cutscenes) gives the game a great look. My only negative point is all these shows which are too short, and lack music or commentary by the hosts.

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

For me, its not so much "whats missing" Its the quality of what is there. The highlights are not shown properly and when the woman speaks it sounds completely ridiculous. I can live with what they give me to play as who am I to say the game suck because it "doesnt do this" or "doesnt do that". But you better believe when I play what they give me, if its garbage, im going to say its garbage.

This is my beef. I really hate to start judging the game on a 2 minute demo of a halftime show but apply the halftime show to the rest of the world. A good student is a good student. A bad student is a bad student. Its not like bad students do great in half there classes and then do nothing in the other half. A bad student, doesnt study and gets bad grades.

If you release a solid game, half the game isnt poor quality and the other half is great quality. A bad game is a bad game, a good quality game is a good quality game. I mean great games dont have these parts in it that are thrown together and dont work properly.

If they cant implement something and make it work the way its supposed to, then it shouldnt be in the game. It should be on the cutting room floor. This is a leadership issue that obviously still isnt straightened out at EA.

EA has stated on numerous occassions that the reason all the last gen features were not in next gen was because they didn't want to put them in until they could do it in a way that was truly next gen.

That was truly next gen ???

Just something to note (from ChaseB's writeup):

(On another note, I see a lot of people complaining about the highlights within the halftime show. While I understand some of the complaints, I want to be clear that the reason the highlights are bad is because I Super Simmed to get to the halftime show quickly. When you Super Sim, the game does not create manufactured highlights from the simmed plays. In other words, the game only had a handful of plays from the half to choose from, so you saw things like a 4-yard run and so on.)

Im happy about the Halftime Show's inclusion in this years game. The editing is really nice. The camera angles are looking good too. I like how they talk about the stats a bit, but I really wish they had full commentary of the highlight portion. Same with the NFL Access weekly Extra Point Show. They recap the game, but they don't have highlights from around the league. Maybe im being picky. It's great this stuff is finally in Madden, but it hasn't quite been taken to the level I want it to be. Still, some great groundwork from EA here. Much improved over Madden 09's halftime show.

I look at this and I see a foundation for better things to come.

No the halftime report may not be as extravagant as we may want, but its a place to start. Look at where we were and compare it to where we are now after one year, and then allow yourself to think of what could be in the future.

People are not complaining about the lack of good replays in the highlight show - people are complaining about the fact that there is no commentary or analysis OF the Highlights; and there are no Highlights from any OTHER games in the league.

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

I missed all the brew-ha-ha yesterday.

Anyway, here's my take.

Would everyone agree this is the best one year leap in the Madden series on NG? I'm just talking about Madden on NG, alone.

The gameplay looks good, online franchise is in, colored cleats are in, Ray Lewis intro is in, etc....... It looks a lot better than 09, much better.

NBA 2k9 had the lamest halftime I've ever seen besides the NG Maddens. They went to a Sports Central area without anyone present on camera and a voice-over going over the stats.

This is NBA 2k9 we are talking about, the kings, supposedly of presentation. And yet, no one rips their attempt of a half-time show.

Irony.

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

what's up roadman, how u doing? I agree about NBA2K9 halftime show, it was lame. But people are complaining about no commentary. Again we basis this on the dreaded 2K5 series..lol. It was done well with chris berman. People are envisioning that halftime show, I like where they are headed, put it wouldn't be a issue if they had commentary and broadcast angle viewing it, like 2K5.
