Madden NFL 13 Presentation Impressions

Re: Madden 13 Presentation Impressions

This is from the impressions blog by OP

Jim and Phil are aware of everything going on in the season. This means they are aware of the placement of your team in the playoff race. They will take note of the type of game you are currently playing, whether it’s a must win game, primetime Monday nighter, a Conference round playoff matchup or the Super Bowl. They will talk throughout the game, banter back and forth and have a memory, to touch back on things that were already discussed.

Oh I know that. Just I was thinking we were going to get a taste of how they are aware of everything by talking about the divisional rivalry, maybe show AFC North Standings, but I was just saying that it had to be in Play Now mode as I expect if that was Franchise, they would have had the long banter, showed the standings, maybe talked if that was the second game between them and who won the first game, etc.

You know I really wasn't going to get Madden 13, but this is changing my mind.

The presentation part made me excited for May 14th. I want to see how the audio goes.

I hope so too, but not really banking on it. Remember 10 had the same clothes on what'shername throughout the season during the Extra Point.....

Well that would involve her recording those segments a ton of times in different clothes...

I'd say having different combinations for people who are entirely animated is far more plausible. It's not something that would bug me at all though if they didn't.

Looks good so far. Still don't like how the QB slides during drop back.
I'm intrigued though.

Yeah, that's the same thing I am thinking with them being digital it will hopefully be fairly simple to give them various suits and apparel.

Would seem similar to the multiple in-game uniforms and they way players can put on a different when they change teams. It's possible they didn't even think of the commentators clothes in the mist of everything else though. Maybe the people going back for CD can bring it to their attention.

If by amazing you mean repetitive and boring.

He steps in front of a wayward pass for the I-N-T for what may have been a possible momentum shifter.

By looking at [the turnovers/total yards/passing yards/rushing yards/Time of Possession/etc] you would think Team A would be WAY AHEAD on the scoreboard, but somehow have let TEAM B stick with them.

Those are two bits that play all the time for the half time show in 2k. No real variety there... but I di like that various plays had commentary associated with them, and they knew when a play was important.... and how the drive ended. Sometimes they would say "Player A make the catch and that's not enough as he rips off NUMBER of yards... but the drive would stall out/they would settle for a FG"

I just really liked watching replays of the half with some commentary even though it was repetitive. Madden 10's half time show was a joke. It didn't even have memorable music. Just bland.

Re: Madden 13 Presentation Impressions

In checking out a preview, Nantz and Simms were flawless. Nantz opens with “Candlestick Park, a stadium that has housed numerous championship teams, plays host to a matchup between the Arizona Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers.” He then leads into his standard “Hello friends” intro, as he talks about how the intensity is ratcheted up in a divisional game, then brings Phil Simms into the conversation. Simms chimes in with his analysis, talking about how different it is and how both teams are fired up. They both talk about the respect the coaches have for each other. Then Nantz wraps it up, as they head to the field for kickoff.

All the visual stuff sounds good, and the addition a digital version of Nantz/Sims is pretty cool...but the above paragraph is a complete buzzkill for me. If they just generically throw out things like "these two teams are division rivals" and don't specifically address the team/player/coaches names in the banter...it's just as bad as it's always been. Just reminds me of the horrible generic Collinsworth pre-game comments like "these two quarterbacks know each other well..." with no mention of their names or of specifics about past match-ups (W-L record vs. each other, etc...)

Re: Madden 13 Presentation Impressions

So do i but are we going to get it or wait until next year?

Re: Madden 13 Presentation Impressions

Looks good but to me it will be the same unless the crowd is better. I want dynamic reactions, emotion with a game winning touchdown, booing the player who left on bad terms during introductions, starting chants etc. That is true presentation.

[GrnEyedBanditTN]

Do you think that they will eventually have multiple broadcast teams in... as we now have the top team from CBS. I don't think that it would be too difficult to add FOX, TNF, SNF, and MNF crews.

Re: Madden 13 Presentation Impressions

Things look great and I cant wait for more info I just wish they showed the elements like rain and snow and if they took that weird blueish hue or having the field covered during snow still looked kind of weird to me imo.

Well, you better Chase What Matters!! haha

Re: Madden 13 Presentation Impressions

Thanks jp for asking Mike about the whole starting lineup being tiered. I know he said it would be, but I had a slight bit of reservation after seeing the screen grab, even though it was obviously filler (Steelers players showed during GB vs TB game).

Hopefully it is dynamic week to week with quick stat blurbs from recent franchise games. Having Phil & Jim wear different suits or having them wear jackets when it gets cold would also be nice.

Re: Madden 13 Presentation Impressions

Looks good but like weve seen every year presentation means nothing ive the gameplay on the field sucks like it normally does
