    Re: Madden NFL 15 Video - The Gauntlet

    Skills trainer re-skinned with voice over work? Yet the only mention of Franchise mode has been a more "fleshed out practice"? Come on man, this is what Mr Dickson puffed his chest out about and told 2K to buy up the licence for? Just

        Everyone needs more details and a timeframe.

        Clint just tweeted this week franchise info will be delivered in the next two weeks.

        Not gloom and doom, yet. lol

            The video narrator they chose is the epitome of what's wrong with Tiburon and Madden. Who is this targeting, 12 year olds? This direction carries over into what they choose to prioritize in game.

            "Sorry, no realistic player momentum, we think people won't understand that."

            "Sorry, no updates to franchise mode, we think people don't care about in depth roster management."

I think this would be cool but they should intergrate it into the Franchise. Have this be part of the offseason. Maybe put your new draft picks through drills or something. Instead of this arcade thing with an annoying voice.

                    And if something wasn't used often, it should be scrapped, that's marketing for you. New and improved.

                    I just put this quote in the Polygon thread, but maybe it should go here, too.

                    "As Cam and I crafted this vision to take the game toward 'more realistic and more authentic,' what we realized is, if we don't teach people how football works, they're never going to understand this game," Dickson continued. "That's really why the Skills Trainer mode was developed, is because I basically pitched that we need a tutorial system if we're going to keep going in a realistic, authentic direction."

                        Why do they waste time with stuff like this when core gameplay needs so much work?

                                I am happy about the game play improvements on the defensive side as long as it is not over powered. Everything looks timing based which is not good, when all it takes is a bit of practice and you're dominating and getting 30 sacks in a season. To me that's not fun. While I appreciate the presentation improvements, if you play the game long enough it gets stale whether you like it or not. If they don't blow my socks off with franchise mode news I am not buying the game this year. I play franchise 110% nothing else, no MUT, no crappy skills trainer, no play now, and for my 60 dollars which for me is a lot I need to get my money's worth.

                                    Thumbs down. Just stop it EA. Everything from the voice to some of the tackling on there was horrible.

                                    sidenote: SMH I'm playing Madden 25 the other day and intercept a throw from Russel Wilson with Trent Cole. I'm running it back down the sideline towards Russel and he does a hit stick tackle on me and I fumble. I almost threw my controller at the TV.

                                        If this is to teach the game, it could've been set up much more like a practice.

                                        Is that the voice you'd hear? Why not a coach actually coaching?

                                        Maybe they just didn't show much, but as is, it looks more like a distraction.

                                                Looks like fun to me. I've always liked the mini-games in Madden and NCAA over the years.

                                                    That voice over after the 3rd time makes you either very irritated or want to hit something..

                                                            The animations, lack of momentum and tackling are laughably bad and stick out like a sore thumb especially now with the great graphics.
