    I'm thinking the reason no in game footage was show is for a combination of the two.

    1)They wanted us thinking about audio, not footplanting

    2)If they showed any amount of play by play they wouldn't have been able to edit out the stuff they don't want us to see just yet.

          If you really think about it, there's probably good reasons why play-by-play wasn't shown.

            Good work Chase. Admittedly I'm a big gameplay person, but having quality audio will undoubtedly make playing football MUCH more fun and immersive. Looks like the team did some nice work here.

                  One thing about EA that we cannot forget is that everything sounds/looks good when they show set previews. As soon as everything is combined and we actually see gameplay is where the problems begin. Hopefully Madden 13 changes this view.

                    Hopefully it's not because the in-game play by play commentary still sounds patched together.

                      Hey Chase---nice job 2day!

                      question....will there be audio options for *on field* or *TV broadcast*?...that's a ton of audio there..concerned that some of the on-field stuff would get *masked* by the commentary.


                      again...great job
                      Bummed that you're not on my ignore list yet?.....Don't worry, I'm sure you will be very soon.

                        I think what he's getting at is that the monumental gameplay changes are present in the current build, and if they showed the audio play by play, they would be forced to show the gameplay and it would let the cat out of the back, so to speak.

                          Dangggggg.

                          I'll say this. I'm excited for E3 for a variety of reasons, and I'm excited about the future because after year one and Madden NFL 13 releases, it will be way more fun to talk with you guys about both positives and negatives of '13 -- which in turn will make the game better for '14 and beyond.

                          This year I could only interact so much.

                            Overall I'm pretty impressed, especially with the crowd noise and the QB cadence. I don't really care about the EA trax getting took out because I like the more traditional music they have. However I hope we can at least add custom stadium music. It would be tight if I could have Future's "Tony Montana" song playing before kick off at Candle Stick park.

                              Something to think about with QB cadences... I believe the ones that will actually make the game would be quite more simple and generic than the soundbites we got today.

                              My reasoning: If I'm on offense and my QB is under center to get the snap, I could basically press X at any moment to snap the ball (hut sound) I'm having a tough time thinking how'd they code the soundbites so that all that "blue 80, blue 80, red 58...." works correctly with me snapping the ball at any time. I guess this could work easier with CPU controlled QB's.

                              In general for me, some very welcome additions to the audio system.

                              Would have definitely liked to get some more depth on cadences in franchise mode. This is one of my pet peeves with Madden in general, sometimes I believe they put so much time/effort into features (presentation/audio) that apply more to PLAY NOW mode and don't translate so well to deeper game modes...

                              Yeah it's nice to know they have a soundbite for "Dalton vs. Palmer" but that would be of nearly zero significance to a franchise mode, as this would seldom happen.

                                I'm not sure how I'm gonna like the new songs over the ea tracks. Listening to that webcast made me wanna get a surround sound. Like I said in a previous posts commentary just gets old to someone that plays madden exclusively, so I'll turn it off after a little while. QB cadence is pretty dang cool. I wish they would have showed Romo's.

                                They kind of made it sound like the new madden theme is gonna be the theme for the series but then said it's just madden 13 theme, so that kind of confused me. That's how I interrupted it at least, I could be wrong.

                                I like how the lead guy explained everything nicely and I think he did a good job.
