If you can't view the embedded video, click here.

Trey Wingo and Designer Vic Lugo show you how you can call the shots on both offense and defense and why Madden is Better with Kinect.

UPDATE: For those asking, why we can't use a headset.

Kinect has a microprocessor inside that processes speech. Regular mic's do not. This is why Mass Effect 3 PS3 couldnt do voice.

Last thing, for anyone asking. PSEye does not have a similar microprocessor inside so that's out as well.

So not to be a negative Nancy but can anyone tell me what exactly is Kinect about that?

Couldn't the same functionality be done with a gaming headset connected to your 360 controller?

Exactly i was gonna say the same thing but with a PS3 head set.

Well and I am only speculating here but the voice detection part if probably part of the Kinect SDK and to my knowledge all 360's have the software installed but need the Kinects microphone to use it.

So I am sure that MS is not going to let EA tap into that and someone use a headset. Now whether the PS3 has voice recognition software I don't know.

It's cool enough but my Kinect is on a secondary 360 for my kids so I'll never use this.

I got to ask the something, do I need to buy a kinect??? Or will a headset work also??? Cause its kind of cool...I like the way some of it worked, being able to call a play when you see the def setup...im going to keep my eye on this big time...

[footballfan41]

Danimal...you the MAN, best answer after thinking bout it I would have to Agree with you 100%, looks like I need to start checking Craigslist for kinect LOL....

Looks pretty cool. I'll give it a try and see if I can do it without too much yelling. Mass Effect 3 had this kind of stuff in it too, but I never used it.

You do need to buy a Kinect to unlock voice detection on the 360. In Mass Effect 3 the voice options are not unlocked and visible in-game without a Kinect plugged in.

I have no idea if there is anything similar on the PS3...I have not heard of it.

It think this would be very fun if coach mode can be turned on like in older maddens were you pick the play then let the team exacute it on there own. I wonder if the feature will be in there?

I like it, you don't really need to yell/scream for it to work either. The harvin thing made me laugh haha

That's interesting if true. Most speech recognition technology is software driven, maybe this explains why Kinects is so poor compared to something like Dragon Naturally Speaking.

In fact a quick google search suggest that it is software driven so not sure if the source giving you that answer Steve is accurate.

EDIT: Just digging a little deeper because this stuff interest me. The Kinect has a a 4 microphone array with processor for noise suppression and acoustic source localization. However the speech recognition is most definitively software driven according to about 3 article I just glanced at.

I didn't really understand why they covered him the way it did. The video looked like it was a coverage audible for the selected defender, which was a OLB on the opposite side of the field from Harvin, no wonder he didn't get there in time to help out. I wonder if you can alter you coverage and have a non-selected player go and apply extra coverage (like pull a FS out of zone coverage to double a WR, but the currently selected defender being a DL)?
