wow...

I will just stay on topic and say that a lot of those suggestions should not be focused on until the core gameplay problems are fixed. Things like goofy AI and animations are game killers in my opinion. Those are the key elements necessary for everything else to make sense. I hope offseason player antics don't get put in the game before these big parts.

Looks A LOT better than what was shown at E3. A LOT better.

Now onto the 2k5 vs what we have seen in Madden 2010, it doesn't matter.


Playing 2k5 for years I maybe seen the halftime show a handful of times, while cool 90% of the time I always skip it... Why should the EA developers spend time on the halftime show when I know for a FACT most gamers will skip it anyways.......

From a developers point of view they should spend time with gameplay & on the field actions before they worry about anything else. Like stated many times before keep the game the same for next year just with update rosters & work the whole year on RUNNING ANIMATIONS.

This is the ONLY thing that I do not like about Madden is the animations , please fix them!

Re: Madden NFL 10 Video: Franchise Hub & Extra Point Show (IGN)

what they should do is have a sub team of devs knock out the presentation and haltime show 100%. just do it right and finish it "This Year" for once.

this could of been done.

Who cares ,when you are playing online & with friends who sits there and watches the halftime show?

Even if I were playing my franchise I would worry more about on field than a halftime show. Honestly this thread makes no sense to me, sure we should always strive for more but we need to fix the core game first & this requires everyone on the development team.

Well, from where I sit it looks like EA has finally gotten close to where we think the game needs to be presentation-wise. While the new halftime show and weekly recap still aren't in the same league as 2K5, it's good enough for now. I'm impressed by the effort, and more importantly I think the weekly recap will be something I look forward to. Can't remember the last Madden feature I could say that about.

As others have said, though, the writing is terrible. Awful. The woman speaking at halftime says "Here are highlights from your game." No, sweetie, it's not my game, it's a game between the Steelers and Bears. Telling me it's my game simply reminds me I'm playing a video game. The presentation should be set up so that we feel like we're watching a real NFL game. And the transitions between sentences are really rough. Reminds me of that old SNL skit during the first Gulf War where celebrities held a welcome home ceremony for each soldier, and when showing a video of President Bush thanking the honoree they spliced in obviously canned footage of him saying the soldier's name. Hilarious. Hope they get that smoothed out next year.

OK, enough of that rant. I'm buying this game mainly because of online franchise. The Extra Point is a bonus.

As posted earlier in this thread:

Actually, I can remember times when J.B. specifically references "your game" at halftime or commenting on "your game" after highlights.

A lot of people don't realize this, but halftime shows are shot 2 to 3, sometimes 4 times during each game slot. They do the same highlight package and then follow it up with commentary for your specific game you are watching.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Video: Franchise Hub & Extra Point Show (IGN)

Hey...At least it appears they may have gotten rid of Hammonds' awkward halftime transition comment of "now it's time for a brief halftime break."

Re: New video showung franchise menu & Extra Point

ok first attempt, pretty bland and needs some significant upgrades. There is no excitement whatsoever in the presentation its lifeless and soulless. I give them kudos for implementing it and hopefully add more to it.

Thank you, and where was that Pic from?

You can add me to the "do it right or don't do it at all" camp. I understand Ian doesn't want to carbon copy 2K5, but this is the NFL! 2K5 did so many things right, but more importantly accurate, so just swallow your pride and get it all in there!

I do think it's a little sad that we (regular folk) can instantly point out the lack of enthusiasm of the commentators, or lack of highlights. It's just something else to add to EA's reputation of things that don't make sense, and probaly have no good reason for being absent-except laziness. This is supposed to be a sim, not Ian's little pet project. These kinds of flaws are no better than what David Ortiz was doing.

Just give us a damn NFL sim! Yes, this game seems to be headed in a very good direction, but still, the same ol' laziness is evident.
If it's not laziness, then it's simply lack of skill. No excuses, now or ever. Get it together, EA.

I don't understand what this "do it right or don't do it at all" camp is. I do know that I don't want to be in it because apparently you guys are saying that you would rather accept this:
Watch the first 20 seconds.
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BM9TJaVfT-o&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BM9TJaVfT-o&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Instead of this:
<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zKrpmjaZcVY&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zKrpmjaZcVY&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>

Which, although is not perfect, it is an actual halftime show which can be built upon even more for next year instead of them just waiting to introduce it for Madden 11. I'm not trying to defend Madden or the Madden team, but I don't find the halftime show a sign of laziness. I'm sure everything has to be made within a certain time, and judging by all of the improvements, it seems as if the Madden team implemented a ton of stuff this year, that didn't seem realistically possible. I never truly thought that Madden would have what it has now, because next-gen Maddens so far has catered to tourney-style or casual gamers rather than SIM gamers.
