Madden NFL 13 Video - Gameplay With Jim Nantz and Phil Simms In-Game Commentary

**JoSiiF** · 05-15-2012, 04:22 PM

Idk how anybody thought that the comentary on that clip was good, it sounded terrible. When he picked the ball up for a touchdown he wasnt excited at all and the sttiching was pretty bad. i see they didnt change anything other than the uniforms.. no new cleats or gloves and the sleaves look the same and the body types still look like **** :/

If it's in the game, we're looking into it.

Did they put Madden 10 or 11 in the system by mistake? This looks no different. players still gliding on catches. I do not think I will be purchasing this again.

The one thing I do like about the vid are the new catch animations. I don't know the reason why but when I play Madden 12 I see a lot of behind-the-receiver catch animations, even if the ball is placed in front of the receiver. I haven't noticed it once in Madden 13 clips.

I like it. Smooth, fluid, their voices are good, informative, and in-depth. They don't really show all that much emotion, but they show enough, and that's fine. A huge improvement over Madden 12.

Last year people complained that that Gus was over the top in weird spots, Three years ago it was Hammond was too Boring, and now Simms and Nantz go back to being low key. You would think they could find a middle level

I know people have said its an early build, but how do you take what was recorded and add enthusiasm or excitement to it.

Like i said in an earlier post, how do you highlight big plays and none show any emotion.

Now I may be able to live with the dull commentary, if they can do a few things

Get the timing down. The touch back was so delayed as was the Touchdown call
have it make sense. Last year was not very good to say the least with just inaccurate statements

Very disappointing. The crowd still goes silent when the commentary does. It's still choppy. We're on our 3rd commentary team in 4 games, but if I had to go on this video alone... the changes haven't helped. The announcers can go silent IF THE CROWD STAYS LOUD!!! It doesn't seem like it'd be that hard to program.

...and why in sports video games does a crowd get loud for 4 seconds during a big play , and then go to a murmur? The crowd stays excited for much longer after a big play.

Not sure if you saw info posted by JP, but he tweeted the Sound Designer and he said I'm not sure how old the OS/Pasta Padre game play is but it's an old mix. He also said stay tuned for the future.

I'll say this judiciously -- if it was that different from the final product, would they have even released the vid?

And I've heard "stay tuned" (from all titles) before. So I'm skeptical... I sure hope it ends up what I thought it would be. For all the "flaws" m12 had, I'd probably still own it as at least "kinda playable/fun" if the commentary was better.

To me, it almost looks like someone put videos we have seen together and then edited the commentary later. It does not look like its from EA (or at least I hope it's not). It just looks fan made to me.

He didn't know where the video came from, it's not like the video was released by EA directly.

I agree, don't know why they showed it.

I do know that after the video cast, Chase came in and posted they didn't showcase gameplay with commentary for the video cast for obvious reasons. ie, June 4th

I think you nailed it on this one.

Do yourself a favor and at least wait until June 4th to see if they are going to unveil a physics engine of some sort, which is the big rumor right now.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Video - Gameplay With Jim Nantz and Phil Simms In-Game Commentary

It's gotta be old because they don't have the new scoreboards up in the video. But they still have to do better with the audio. Couldn't really hear the crowd and the commentators sound robotic. I don't understand what's so hard about this??? UFC 3, NBA 2k, and MLB the Show have all pretty much mastered this. Are they putting a patent on on their secrets or something?
