Madden NFL 16 Presentation Details

Nope don't think that is possible this generation. But I do wonder how it will affect stadium sounds.

Why exactly would this not be possible? 2K had that feature on OG Xbox 10 + years ago. There is no reason we should not be able to assign tracks to events. It's not that hard to set flags on those events and let us manipulate the track assignment. It would be harder to add your own music to it, but since both PS4 and Xbox 1 now support media streaming, there is no reason we could not use our own music.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Presentation Details

I'm with you on the commentary, especially after playing PGA last night and how natural sounding it is, not to mention they talk about historic moments with other players from the past and say things like "he birdied this hole yesterday or he bogeyed here yesterday, let's see if he can improve his score, stuff like that and natural sounding commentary is what I want for Madden 17.

I know exactly what you guys mean and I wonder why they have lines at all? i understand the need to record specific commentary at certain times but why not have them watch film and just talk about it? if you want to record what you want them to say about WR/DB interaction, show the footage of big matchups last year in the NFL and let them just talk.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Presentation Details

The xp and goals feedback is optional so you can turn it off if you want.

Do you know if that little bubble pop up can be turned off? Originally I thought it was only for large gains, but then I watched a video that showed it for a ten yard punt return. That seems like it could get annoying

I believe it can, I know the goals and xp stuff can.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Presentation Details

I just don't get it. NCAA had tickers and in game scores TWO YEARS AGO. Can somebody help me...why can't they just rip that? I said this about CFM/Dynasty and I'll say it again about presentation. They just need to rip everything they have in Madden out and put everything they had in NCAA in and tailor it towards the NFL.

Completely different games.

Completely different franchise modes.

Not as easy as you think to just "rip" features from one game to another.

Couldn't agree more. Throw in a teambuilder like feature and I would pre-order as early as possible every year.

That's not going to happen...I read an article from SI that was posted a couple of years ago about things that EA had to take out because the NFL didn't want it. And one of those things was a more robust relocation option. The NFL didn't want teams to be called the Birmingham princesses or whatever. So until the NFL budges on that I can't see it happening.

A boy can dream can't he?

Yea i read that article when you posted it the other day. The real question is why the NFL cares so much about what goes on in a video game. Do other leagues? I could be wrong, but other games don't deal with that level of interference. Last time I played FIFA, NBA, NHL, and MLB they all had create a team features that let you play as whoever you want.

Also, Madden still has a create a player/coach/owner option right? So what is so different if you name a team the Princesses (underated name btw) or a character that?

I can understand them putting their foot down over off field stuff arrests and whatnot, but to care about team name/colors c'mon you've got much bigger fish to fry league.

And I've heard it mentioned by others, but with MUT and now Draft Legends included it seems like teambuilder would fit in naturally.

I know the MLB does it. Ejections for the most part have been removed. You can't argue with umpires. Also that's why that game doesn't have a relocation or stadium creator. And the reason they care is because of brand image. The NFL's brand image could be argued to be pretty bad right now. For multiple issues like Concussions, the inconsistency of Goodell as a commissioner on suspensions, the domestic violence issues.

Re: Madden NFL 16 Presentation Details

FOM is very strict about what is allowed in the F1 games. The various leagues do care about how they are represented in video games.

But arguing with umps is not on the same level, MLB still lets you create teams or edit player names correct?

Like I said I get some of the restrictions, but I fail to see how me playing as the Birmingham Princesses in my own living room could ever affect their brand image. By that logic all the other games I mentioned would have the same impact on their sports. FIFA doesn't have the greatest image right now, but last I played they had a website almost identical to teambuilder.

Other leagues don't have the Ginger Hammer as their commissioner.

The NFL is more controlling of their imagae than any other league in all of their business relationships - it's not just like that for video games.

Re: Presentation Blog is up

What did they ignore? The only thing I can think of is an ingame ticker with stats from across the league.

People wanted improved crowds and they got them.
People wanted the sideline people to wear appropriate gear
Better crowd intelligence....thats in.

Plus they added a bunch of other things.

We don't know if any of those things are in. They say they will make improvements in those area every year and they don't.

Would have been nice if they proved this year would be different with a video.
