Madden NFL 15 Includes Peyton Manning Omaha Cadence

Re: Madden NFL 15 Includes Peyton Manning Omaha Cadence

If I was a teenager again I would think this is kinda cool. However, I have been playing this game for 26 years now. I remember when they implemented the 'Peyton Manning 20 seconds of audibles' a couple years ago. It was annoying and slowed the game every time I played his team. I don't care if he says Omaha, Portland or Columbus.

I feel like there are bigger things that need attention. Auto-Subs being one of the biggest issues. I get that they will be adding new sounds captured on the field and that is cool... but don't talk this up like it is something brand new either.

On top of that, since when do cadences matter in a game of Madden?

I also hated that. It would just lull me to sleep any time I played the colts in that game.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Includes Peyton Manning Omaha Cadence

So what I'm getting is that people pick and choose what they want in the game.

Something in the game which reflects true to life NFL they don't want = don't want it you suck EA

Something not in the game they want = EA Sports, if it's in the game it's NOT in the game

They put in a small detail to the game, I'm happy about it. Would I rather have some other stuff? Of course. But to be a "pick and choose" critic...jeez.

I agree. I look at it like this. If it's something added to the game that makes it feel like Sunday whether I want it or not, it's a great additions.

The only thing I don't care about and hate that they spend time on is MUT because I view it as a money maker and does nothing towards making each game look and sound like Sundays.

Agreed. However I am not really bashing the mode. It's already been installed and as much as I don't agree with it and believe the implementation resources took away from gameplay fixes that were needed.

It was added a few years back, and it's there now, but no need to keep working on it and adding features to that when gameplay, presentation and franchise need work.

Why is this news??? This is like the "wind socks" push they had a few years ago. Manning says Omaha....OK *sigh*

It becomes big news if you make it big news.

I just found about this now and E3 was all last week. I didn't see it reported during E3, but after E3.

I'm ok with it being in the game because the media made a big deal about it last year in the playoffs, but it doesn't phase me one way or the other.

Opportunity cost.

I know, I know, each group works on different things. But could the people that recorded this have been recording mo-cap? Could they have been recording commentary for pre/half/post game show?

I guess this goes towards EA's simulation pledge, but man, seems like there are much, much more important things to address.

I just said this in another thread, but it applies here. Their wide net, segmented approach just doesn't do it for me. The game is great at abolutely nothing. Go all in on something and wow us. Do something that makes us say, "this crushes that other game!" As is, these micro improvements allow us to make comparisions to games 6+ years old.

It's a tough balance I enjoy MUT (it is the devil) and would like to see some changes made in certain parts of that game mode. But you are correct "free" modes and gameplay should be the priority but with the amount of money MUT makes i'm not surprised that other modes aren't getting as much attention as they deserve.

Exactly, we all know that many areas of gameplay need to be fixed but it is mind numbing how some ppl complain about everything added to the game that is not directly related to gameplay or franchise mode. This isn't exactly "ground breaking news" but it is something that will add realism to one of the biggest icons in the history of the sport.

With all the money MUT pulled in this past year, I expect even more focus on it. It's become a game within the game. I hate it.

If they dont add the feature where peyton throws ducks and picks the whole time in playoffs theres no point. I mean u said if its in the game its in the game right?

Some of us want him to PLAY like one of the biggest icons in the history of sports, not sound like him.

-They could've fixed his drop back
-They could've added signature animations
-They could've re-tiered the playbook so he can call the plays he does irl
-They could've fixed the timing of the routes & drops
-They could've added real time route progression / head tracking
-They could've added clutch ratings

But instead, we get "Omaha! Omaha!". Sweet!

Is there anything being done in Madden 15 you like? Judging from your posts recently I would say no.

What I've realized is that the reason dropbacks are off and pockets don't form consistently is that it's probably on purpose to account for issues with route timing. It could also be vice versa. So what that says is, the core of this is broken.

(please forgive me for bringing this up, but it's true) 2K football used to have a rhythm to the passing game (something that's realistic to pro football) that just doesn't exist in Madden because of the poor timing, coupled with the problem of bizarrely inconsistent pocket breakdowns where a block should happen but a lineman gives up on the play or doesn't even try altogether.

Legacy issues galore. Symptoms of improperly working legacy code carried over. The line animations are better, but throwing new animations on top of a broken foundation is like building a new beautiful house on quicksand.
