Can anyone please tell me why Madden's team doesn't take advice from the Fifa team? I think NHL, Live, and Madden all need to do that.

Re: Some Madden NFL 16 Features Revealed - Total Control Passing and More

Fifa depends on the league. They have ESPN for MLS and the Premier League presentation for England.

The UFC has the standard UFC PPV presentation.

Also Madden pretty much just stole CBS presentation already so I'm confused why people are acting like Madden is its own thing.

in terms of the graphics sure... but madden's presentation is lather rinse repeat. Same intro.. outro every game (in madden 15). No team specific, player specific quirks and features when you play. They don't build on their presentation enhancements. The great camera work from madden 12 was basically abolished the next year. The team specific intros from 10-11 are all gone.

They lack variety in the presentation... and they lack it big time. Nothing is truly real time and immersive.
integrated playmaker cameras and 'innovative on-the-field cameras bringing you closer to the game than ever before...' doesn't sound like they are truly trying to replicate real NFL broadcasts.

'Welcome to madden.. brought to you by ea sports.. here on the ea sports network.' (what kind of immersion is that? we already bought the game.. i don't need to hear ea sports or see ea sports on any graphics during a game.)

Hopefully we have true highlight breakdowns through commentary. Not just a generic what a play!!! But commentary that explains how it was set up defensively and offensively in at least some detail. Madden 09 had something similar where Collinsworth broke down plays.

Looks like another no buy year for me again unless they implement the ability to b import draft classes from ncaa football 14 like they were talking about doing a few years back or adding the ability to create a draft class like nba 2k. We need a different company to make football.

Probably because EA still has the "EA Sports Network" in Madden. Instead of actually utilizing CBS or ESPN presentation logos and stat banners they just use some similar camera swipes and then make the rest "innovative" camera angles. Why not just actually use the real life station?

Not to mention there are still no in game highlights from games around the league like that other football game the came out 10+ years ago on the PS2 smh. Hopefully they will surprise us & step it up this year in the presentation department (including improved Living Worlds)

This is false. No title in the history of football video games - including the game you are referring to - has featured in-game out-of-town video highlights. (weekly review highlights is a different story and explicitly not what I'm referring to here)

I don't anticipate in-game out-of-town highlights in Madden anytime soon either on account of the premium games place on graphical fidelity these days. During a weekly review show? Not outside of the realm of possibility, but I'm not betting on that either to be honest.

Give me something better to beta test...errr...pre-order the game. Old stadiums or something. Tired of UT stuff. I have no intentions of ever playing online v randoms. I need something better or that $40 price point in late-September is looking better.

yeah I agree. No reason to show highlights of other games when they cant even do a proper replay of the game you are playing.
How long will it take them to realize that we like to see replays in the broadcast angle? you know... the way they show them in real life? I am truly baffled by their presentation decisions

They do more than just take advice from FIFA Team, they take their tech and they have been since at least 2009. It's one of the main reasons RTP is in the game; it started in FIFA. Although I wish Infinity weren't in Madden; it never should've been introduced until they straightened out their core animation issues (which are plentiful and long-standing at a decade+). Jamming Infinity over a mess of an animation system was a big mistake (and a rather ridiculous one considering how poor their core animation system is on a number of levels), and I bet a lot of IE's issues stem from contending with that foundation of ducktape and chicken wire code they carried over from last gen.

It's hard to ride in style when your tires are flat.

Mmmmmm, I seem to recall either John Madden Football or Madden '92 on Genesis showing highlights from other games at halftime.

If so - that's about a year or two before my time, I stand corrected, and I appreciate the correction.

Certainly no games in any console generation following the Genesis / SNES era have included such, however, and as such I continue to not really expect the feature to appear in Madden NFL anytime soon.

I believe it was a Genesis version of the game but could be wrong. I started playing Madden on PC before it was even on a console (if recollections serves correctly).

That said, I do believe that putting the resources into doing something like that would be put extremely low on a priority list with today's gamers habits and I don't blame them at all for that.
