I wasnt going to comment,until I read this post.What does he mean by "unrealistic" expectations?For all you legacy madden fans out there,you need to find an old copy of NFL 2k5,start a franchise,play your entire week one game,simulate the rest of week one and watch the sportscenter show for week one.

That said,I gotta give EA their propers(old skool slang)for taking a step in the right direction.Halftime Show is legit,just need to step up the league wide extra point.(Heck,id settle for them just copying what 2k5 did 5 years ago!)

What I meant was, all of you who expected the new madden dev team to match and/or beat 2k5's presentation in just their first year on the job, had unrealistic expectations. This is a first for next-gen Madden (never played last-gen so i wouldn't know), since the previous teams (Ortiz, lol) had neglected any type of halftime show or similar presentation elements.

There's also a new vid of the halftime show there too.

They definitely polished it up a bit. They added Fran Charles to it and added more stats as well. Not 100% perfect but still impressive nonetheless imo. Really like the interface.

You're right!, they did polish it up from the last time I saw the E3 video.

I like it!!, not bad at all. This is just the begining of good things to come from the Madden team in the future with their presentation.

Are we positive there won't be any highlights during the Extra Point week recap show. When the girl starts talking in the video she says, "up first highlights and stats from the weekend's best games.."

The game is looking good.

EA, suffers from jock syndrome, it is time to actually get some actors to breath some life into the commentating and the halftime show. I think that was one of the advantages visual concepts had over madden by being in california and near a lot of thespians.

They know how to perform, the extra point would be miles better if they got rid of the humans visually used that space just for audio, have an actor project emotion through his or hers voice inflexion(sp).

These jocks and journalist are bland and boring.

Good point.

This is already looking a lot better than it did at E3. Im getting very excited for some true broadcast flare being brought back to NFL vids. Madden 10 team - great job on this.

You know what would really set it off? If they added a radio show on top of this a la the Tony Bruno show.

If they continue to make the out of game experience more media-dominated, Madden will be unmatched. Imagine listening to Tony Bruno talk about what is going on around the league and then after listening to him, going to the Extra Point show. Maybe even add magazine/newspaper articles as well.

Why do people want a half time/weekly show that have precreated highlights from any game that you haven't played? 2k feel off with their basketball game College Hoops 2k8 when all the highlights were canned even your own game was not saved.
I then ask people, how do you render highlights that have not happened through the game engine? Then answer is you can't. So as long as you guys are okay with prescripted highlights, I assume they will probably be in next year. I could care less about those highlight shows because they are not actual game footage.

Re: New video showung franchise menu & Extra Point

Well this looks to be a night game so all of the scores being FINAL on the halftime score update looks to be legit. It will be interesting to see if these are shown as real time scores when playing a day game.

I couldnt agree more. MORE media is a good thing. I think EA has really set some solid groundwork this year by focusing on a key area of any modern-day sports game: presentation. I'd love to see the Tony Bruno content return, and for Ian's merry men to continue to push the envelope with more editorial content - ie. "live" scores & highlights from other franchise games accessable from a running ticker, full commentary of highlights, further insign into the impact of a team winning or loosing and all that good stuff that puts the league in perspective. Every season, every game, every series is a story unfolding. THATS they true drama of the NFL. Im hoping they continue to develop in this area.

Agreed.

I wish we could watch our own highlight show from the game we played at the very least though.
