Re: Cut scenes are unnecessary.
I personally have never been a fan of presentation. It is as simple as I play madden for 100+ hours easily and by the 10 to maybe 15 hour mark the cut scenes begin to get old and repetitive. As you can see, I will spend nearly 80+ hours of my game play time annoyed at seeing the same thing over and over again.
To me, presentation is the icing on the cake. It will get old no matter what you do and it really is not a fundamental part of football.
Realistic player progression, realistic sim stats, game play, drafting, scouting, player contracts, and the list goes on of features that still need intense work over before adding something that will get old after 15 hours of playing.
People may say "They have a team for franchise and game play ect ect" and they should be taking care of this but I have to ask a very basic question. What did we really get in franchise this year? A gimpy progression system, sim stats havent been fixed, human players have to pay players more money and the CPU gets to sign players dirt cheap, a wretched scouting system, tweaking of CPU logic of who/what to get on their team but they still end up drafting back to back first round players in the same position like QB or HB, and "presentation" of stats included in games( and playoff presentation/record breaking achievements which is still pretty weak) I forgot the weekly show that was only half done and I saw a great deal of people have a strong backlash to how poorly it was put together and the "new" draft classes they added. Most of which were already made completely and used from Head Coach 09 but there were some new classes added on that werent in HC09.
The only addition to that list that deserves any merit for being something created new and not something that was tweaking something that we already had is the presentation of stats, draft classes, and the scouting system...But again the scouting system is just about worthless because it breaks the game balance because we can easily find all the good talent and provides almost no real info besides accurate combine times and a few stats(Arent combine times recorded officially and accurately at the combine in the first place...So why do we have to scout someone to get this info accurate?)That leads me to believe that the banners and tweaking that was done to franchise/game play took up all of the franchise team time and left us with an old sour taste in our mouths.
The presentation of stats/banner info was pretty well done IMO...But why do they insist on putting icing on a stale rotting cake? They need to throw out the entire simulation system/off season/ALL of franchise and rebuild using the Head Coach 09 franchise system or something new(Yes they have a system in their company ALREADY DEVELOPED by some of the guys who are currently making madden that has most of the things listed above fixed if not better and more stuff) if they have any hope of establishing a good foundation. Anyways enough ranting onto the OP.
The cut scenes should have been able to be completely turned off. Being able to skip them still means we have to have them load and slow our game down for something that we didnt want to watch in the first place.
