Chase looked left out the entire time

Audio Webcast in two words-Surprising and Disappointing

Surprising-Pregame, 82 hours of new commentary, 9000 lines,Qb cadences, hits, crowds, player chatter, themes all sounded amazing

Disappointing-No samples of in-game commentary, my biggest area of concern with this game.

Will reserve judgement until I see how they actually integrated this into the game, not listening to a recording being played with a slide show. I can't believe they didn't mention if they recorded ALL player names including incoming draft classes with commentary.

Listening to players being called the wrong name or by their number was a huge issue in franchise mode. Not to mention when their introducing QB's and your starter is hurt so the backup is in and they can't mention him by name... Common EA.

Great webcast. I am really impressed with the improvements to the audio in Madden. The atmosphere in last year's game was bland and boring to me, and that's what ultimately led me to trade it in. This year looks to be a night-and-day difference. I won't miss EA Trax, but I hope they bring back the old NFL Films music as an option.

Would of liked to see some in-game commentary but overall good stuff :]

I missed the crowd section. What did they sat? Did we get any examples?

Listen to those crowds roaring in the background...for the big games, swells like that should be heard

B+ for features

D- for depth

Have no idea about homefield advantage, weekly shows, halftime / postgame shows, how the cadences are implemented, does the crowd impact the team leading to false starts, any in-game commentary, how Trey Wingo is implemented.

Liked what I heard, but it seems like they talked more about how it was recorded instead of what's actually in the game. Then mine just cut off in the middle of the second theme. Was anything said after that?

Re: Madden Playbook #3 Webcast Starting Now, Discuss

And what did they say about cadences? Does every starting QB have their own cadence? What about new QB's in franchise mode or backup QB's?

Thanks!

We got an in game example of Aaron Rodgers doing his cadence and throwing a touchdown, sounded JUST like it does on TV, minus the commentary, crowd got louder progressively throughout the sequence.

They just showed Rodgers, Newton, and Brady audio cadences. Brady pointed out a MIKE LB, but Shop tweeted me that "they are not pointing out Mike LB on the other team. Just generic cadences for now."

Great job ChaseB and the whole Madden 13 audio team, looking forward to see how it all comes together.

I thought overall the broadcast was nice. Glad to see the big improvements in audio this year. But one thing I am concern with right this moment is how well the play by play will sound during the game. Pregame announcing and better sounding crowd is fine. But if the announcing is off during the gameplay. Then another bummer for audio this year. I wish they would done some play by play audio during this webcast. I'm a little concerned right now But overall the other stuff sounded much better then past games.

Shop: "If I remember right only 13 of the 32 QBs were recorded for live cadences. No camera shake. I did see some false starts, hard to say it was due to any HFA. Doubt it."
