    Re: Madden NFL 17 Features Focus on Franchise Mode & More - Bundle Info & 2 Screensho



    No mouthpieces AGAIN, and the Broncos pants (and I assume the 49ers and several other teams that have the problem) still, STILL, have that stripe issue where half is cut off on the side at the top.

    Not a good starting sign.

          Yeah, it's so frustrating seeing other games frequently updating player equipment changes throughout a given season, while NFL fans can't get a game that even displays the proper equipment period. I just wish there was a little transparency from the devs on why we have to keep begging for these things year after year, after year, after year to nothing but crickets. You mean to tell me you can't figure out a way to slide a band up the arm a little bit? Or remodel each facemask with the mouthguard already onto it so we have an editing option of each mask with or without the mouthpiece? It doesn't need to connect to the facescan, even if it gaps a bit it would make such a huge difference in player likeness, which Madden lags behind in a big, big way.

            Can't they add other equipment later in the cycle?

            2 screenshots and that's it, were are doomed?

            Actually, the developers on Twitter have been hinting around lately about equipment upgrades.

            Too soon to tell anything at this moment, including the trailer tonight.

            Marketing releases improvements in increments, based on past history.

              Yeah man. I'm not even worried about the graphic fidelity anymore, that can stay how it is. I just want the small details done right for once. We're not even talking about something massive like AI, or franchise logic, or even face modeling. Dude, we're talking about STRIPES and MOUTHGUARDS for Christ's sake.

              What is their deal?

                Game comes out in August. 3 months away.

                Lots of complaining and overreacting based off of a sole screenshot.

                  The problem with Madden is that they've been catering too long towards the people who "want mouth guards and strips on the wristbands", and not enough towards the people who want realistic completion percentages and solid defensive AI.
                  I just want a hockey and football game where I can spend more time playing my seasons then I spend changing my sliders.

                    I knew that post was coming. Happens every year.

                    Well, the game is basically done now, not much more can be done to it, so no point was made there.

                    And the "whining" is based off of 11 years of the same stuff which gives us plenty of reason to "whine" with perfect justification. Let's be real here.

                      I'd much rather hear more about this renewed focus on Franchise Mode than see a trailer at this point. However, I know marketing is a process and hype videos always get things started.

                      I'm really looking for two things this year one for offline and one for online. For offline I want full editing back and for online games I want save points at the end of each quarter. If I can't at least get one of those I don't know if I can get hyped not matter what else they do.

                      I am interested in hearing about the defensive AI system though. Hopefully, they upgraded the AI's play calling and time management logic on offense, as well. I'd be trilled to see the CPU use their entire playbook and to not do boneheaded things like letting the time run out at the end of games even when the have timeouts. With all of that said I'm ready to embrace the process, let's get this train rolling.

                        The game is not "basically done." Plenty of changes can happen in 3 months.

                            And can we ask the same on your end?

                            Wait for all evidence to be shown before it's one and done.

                              Here's the thing with equipment... Players don't always wear the same things.
                              Here's Brown against the Bengals in the playoffs last year and... No Armband.

                                Yeah, that's not true at all. They definitely can't make significant changes at this point, it's too late in the cycle. They're not going to risk the game's stability. Getting a stable game released is their first and only priority now, as it should be.

                                Secondly, to make sure the game passes internal and external certs, plus go gold, plus get pressed, that's a 60-90 day lead time give or take. It's not like they work on it up to the week it ships to your hands. It doesn't work like that.

                                So again, yeah, it's basically done. They can make a big patch later, but usually by the time you start seeing videos and pics with Madden, what you see is what you get. I'd think after all these years we would've all picked up on this by now.
