Re: Gameshark Q and A

Most definitely. Lots of these scenes show fans from the back and they use the name as well - not just the number.

Holy crap that is insane. I thought it was real at first. I've been to BofA Stadium probably more than 100 times and the realism and attention to detail in this pic is crazy. If you've ever been there you know that this is EXACTLY what the outside of the stadium looks like and EXACTLY what those statues look like. Even the little white signs in the background are authentic with the black stripes. However the one negative thing I will say is that if they got this part to be so damn identical to real life, how come the inside of the stadium is about 4 years out of date. So much missing from the screens and videos we've seen. That being said I still cannot get over how awesome this shot is. Hell I wonder if you can even read my name on one of the plaques?

Awesome I love crunch times. Out of all the things that you are trying to do, what is the number one thing yall are trying to hammer out. The most important if you will.

Also have yall been addresisng the running animation and the form running issue some have been complaining about?

Re: Gameshark Q and A

I appreciate linking the Q&A, guys, but please don't post the entire thing verbatim here. You are literally ripping the food out of my 8 year old daughter's mouth. Literally. Oh, great now she's starving.

LOL nice analogy, now some people are probably clueless on what you mean and how it pertains to you losing money by people posting your stuff here but I got ya. Noted

When this is all over, I think we should get an apartment together...


Lol, keep up the good work dude... AWESOME stuff.

Re: Gameshark Q and A

ok, so there is now an automatic drop back then that, so you cannot just run forward with the QB which is essentially running a QB sneak without actually calling the "QB Sneak" play

that is what I was asking

Yup!

Man that Bank of America entrance is spot on. It even has the names of the contributors (at least writing) on the statue. I've stood next to those entrances countless times and that looks just like it. In other news, Ian any word on the broadcast cam?

Re: Gameshark Q and A

Sorry about that mods. He must have made his the same time I was making mine. He won. NO Worries


What about presentation? Ian, you told me at the show that you wanted the stadiums to all feel unique. How are you doing that?

Ian: One of the most common pieces of feedback from the community (and internally from our own time playing the game) was that every Franchise game really felt the same. There was no real sense of a “journey” through the season since every game was presented in a similar fashion. Since we had committed to a huge investment in re-vamping our cut-scenes (and their respective systems), Mike Young, Tavis Kahler, and crew did a bunch of research to pick out some of the most recognizable pieces that you see in various stadiums around the league.
This addition alone in pre-game (and cuts to these types of scenes throughout the game) was a nice way for us to give you (the fan) the feel of each stadium and location being different. We realize that many people skip through pre-game cut-scenes once they see them a few times, so by making every intro feel different it gave people a reason to at least give a second look and keep the game feeling new and fresh.
The most exciting thing for me is that we will be able to keep building on this for the future, since a huge chunk of our time this year was spent actually just getting the tech in place. Expect community polls and wishlist threads soon. (smile)
To add to this, we have all kinds of stadium-specific chants in the game as well – so now you’ll hear the chants that make you feel like you really are in that hostile opposing environment – such as “J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!” and “E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!”



It's about time EA. Finally I can hear the greatest crowd chant in football! :wink:

I like I like. Welcome to the bird nest!!!!!!!!

Eagles 12-4 this yr first SB Ring he we come!
