Changes need to be made with audio. You couldn't blow this any worse. Like I said, it doesn't even sound professional.

It's time for new blood in that group.

I agree, although I think Collinsworth does a good job.

Yeah, Collinsworth is really tight to me. When I say new blood though, I mean new people writing, recording and editing the audio. I think the past two years make it pretty clear that the current group working on audio doesn't have the stuff to get it done. I'd usually not say that, but when they do a job this poorly it's clear that they aren't able to pull themselves out of this.

I am just hoping the crowd noise and interaction is 10X better then last year. This is the #1 thing for immersion for me. I think NHL does a pretty damn good job of this and apparently that is a major focus for them this year. That is going to be awesome!!

I would agree with this.

The audio just doesn't sound good.

Anyway, I made a wishlist thread about it, but do we really even need 10 highlights from the game we are playing with audio overlays?

I sya no. What we need is canned highlights from like two plays from two other games that are playing at the same time.

Then what we need is for a couple of guys to list all the other scores going around in the leage, and then finally we just need some canned video discussing our game. LIke Mooch and Deion talking about whether one team needs to get their running game going, or whether some Qb is throwing to many picks.


I dont know how hard it would be to sink replays with audio, but we dont even frikcen need it!




Again, just show a couple highlights from OTHER games- CANNED highlights which makes it easier, and then discuss our game, with maybe only one higlight. like the biggest play with some canned audio like "and look at this. What a play!" Well, better than that, but the point is you don't need a ton of replays from our game.

Besides, there will inevitably be screw ups when you do that, which will kill immersion. Thats why canned highlights form other games around the league is so much better. And you only need a couple.

And then you finish with canned audio discussing the stats of the game you are playing, turnovers, momentum, and what each team has to do to win.



No need for highlights of our game with audio.

Eww no....

Madden wiill always fail unless EVERYBODY stop competing with NFL2K5....

The Show has none of what 2K5 had is the BEST presentation a sports game has ever had...from real time scores to audio and replays....

if they want to get it done right they should show the people talking like on the sunday games on fox,do reports on all nfl games for the day(for franchise).

the improvements are great but whats the point if its a crappy halftime report.

[warrior310]

the girl sounds like a damn talking gps system,fix it.

add more commentators,so you can shuffle them.add the nbc,fox,nfl net.,espn,cbs crew if possible,make it feel like every sunday as you claim.

the game looks great,no lie but whats a car with a great exterior but no interior?get it done on both ends.

Collinsworth does an okay job in madden, but that doesn't change the fact that he is an annoying laugh talker, I can't stand the guy.

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

I cant stand collinsworth either, but in madden he's leaps and bounds better than the other two.

The commentary is terrible and will kill game immersion as long as it isnt changed. Are the EA guys listening to the same thing we are?

They had halftime highlights last year, you just had to click on them yourself at halftime. This year its a mega upgrade that includes all the highlights playing consecutively and before it starts a little logo saying Extra Points pops up. This is a really weak improvement. Barely any better and I will just skip it regardless. I just wanna play the game and have great gameplay. This presentation junk is overrated. Even if it was really amazing, it would get old after 2 games.
