Madden NFL 17 Video - Carolina Panthers vs. Seattle Seahawks (cookieboy17)

[CujoMatty]

Shoes and accesories look good. I dunno if it was a hiccup in the video but the commentary cut itself off mid sentence just as the TD reception was caught and started a different line and sounded weird to me. Could be the video though. Other than that though I really like the commentary and I didn't think I would.

Is it just me or are more people annoyed with that hard wistle sound after every play?

Why are they running a hurry up after incomplete pass in end zone with a minute and a half left? User controlled?

First off.....There was "no" pocket at all...No sense of pressure or urgency..I thought they fixed that....I really like the interception by sherman but it would have dope if the sidelines reacted with him or something close to that but maybe next year

The commentary does sound good. But it's nothing earth shattering. It's on par with other sports games. The problem was the commentary was so awful before. I'll still give them props for improving the commentary and equipment though. They just need mouthpieces and to take those running animations out back and kill it.

Completely agree.

Re: New Madden 17 Video Cam vs Sherman Showdown

Commentary for football games is the hardest commentary of all sports games to do right, I think people should take that into account when judging the commentary. It's by far the best football commentary we've ever heard.

Why? Not disagreeing with you but you made a point then did nothing to explain why? Why is football video game commentary harder than baseball(which has way more down time), basketball, soccer, etc?

I would think football and baseball would be the easiest. Especially with down time and replays to add more to the game than just play by play. I would think basketball, hockey, and soccer would be the most difficult since there's hardly a break in the action.

I think the play by play guy is still just off to me. Not sure what it is exactly but doesn't sound right to me. Though I did like how he mentioned Sherman was a pro bowler during the return. I think the analyst guy sounds pretty good.

Thats the reason why football and baseball are harder. You have to fill the breaks with color commentary and those are the lines that become the most repetitive. In a basketball game, the PBP guy is talking 70% of the time. Same with hockey. In soccer, there isnt really an expectation that the PBP guy or the color guy talk much and dead air is actually welcome.

With football and baseball, PBP maybe takes up 40% of the airtime because of the breaks so the color commentator has to carry a heavier load.

In my personal opinion I think it's too early to judge the commentary. But this is not the place to get into a 2K football vs EA football debate.

Let's please move on from that.

Just looks like another typical "Madden" or "EA" game. Nothing to be too excited about, a few improvements, but still not enough in my opinion. It still looks more like an arcade game than a sim. Generic sidelines, animations with the player trying to bring the ball in to his body after a catch with no ball in his hands, crushing hit with a fumble that goes right into a players hands that looked like he was literally knocked out. I'm sure I missed other things, but I watched the video once and didn't come away excited or impressed.

At his point, I guess there isn't a lot we can expect from Madden. They make a ton of money every year due to their monopoly of the NFL. Honestly, why can't they come close to the level of what NBA2K brings to the table each year? Their budget has to be be on par or more than likely more than what 2K has to work worth considering they are EA. Overall, no surprises on my end, which really sucks. With that said, I still can't believe this is the state of NFL gaming in 2016-2017. I hope I'm wrong, but their previous track record gives me no reason to feel that way.

Thank you for the video.

I agree. The improvements are nice, but unless they decide to rebuild the game from scratch, it will never be close to what it should be.

I really wish the LeBron celebration was more limited. I have seen it from AP and Kelvin so far, and neither of them actually do it in real life lol.

Same. I've seen Jason Witten do a goofy dance and spike the ball and it made me cringe. That's not the kinda player Witten is, it all goes back to player likeness and immersion. If I score with Barry Sanders I don't expect him to do backflips I expect him to hand the ref the ball.
