Madden NFL 11 Info: Almost Every Coach to Be Scanned

Re: Madden NFL 11 Info: Almost Every Coach to Be Scanned

Ok this is all well and good for authenticity and should be a part of Madden.

BUT - The study said the average game of Madden lasts 63 minutes per game. In that 63 minutes I bet you only see a total of 3 minutes of the coach on the sidelines.

So how feasible it is I am not so sure compared to how much effort they might go through to getting their faces in the game and then to show off their implementation.

lol, this is exactly what I was thinking. Oh well, I guess it's something, right? A good question would be, now that the coaches look like themselves, will they actually coach like themselves? hmm, I guess we'll find out later. Still, I guess it's a nice lil bit of info.

Yeah, I'd take improved playcalling, even if it meant having no coach on the sideline. But that's not how it works, and probably isn't what the masses would prefer.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Info: Almost Every Coach to Be Scanned

Does this include all of the coaches like the assistant coaches and coordinators? If so, this solidifies that early thread claiming that they would be in. I wonder if the Madden team finally found a way to get interactive sidelines in. I hope something is done to keep the presentation fresh.

Weren't coaches already in the game? I played as Dallas and am pretty sure I remember seeing Wade on the sidelines

Yep. I guess he'll be more Wade-like now.

Yeah, that's like last year when they made a big deal about the Thunderbirds in the flyover cutscene, yet they fly by so fast you can't make out any detail at all.

I realize jets fly fast, so don't get me wrong. To clarify, if I remember correctly, they spent a whole blog entry on how they spent a long time making sure to make the Thunderbirds look authentic, when you can't even make them out in the game.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Info: Almost Every Coach to Be Scanned

Here's the problem with Madden.

Do they need to take credit for even the most nebulous additions?

There was a time a group of developers under the name "VC" would simply make an awesome game with dozens of upgrades to the game every year. They didn't make special announcements everytime they lifted their fingers and coded something into the game.

EA needs to UNDER promise and OVER deliver for once. Just once.

Sadly this name is less offensive to the admin staff here than my opinion of EA is.

Coaches, check one. Next up will be....lemme guess here, uhmmm. I got it, the first round draft choice rookies wearing their new team colors!

Different year, same ol' crap (and by crap I mean announcements). And yet it will be considered "news".
