Madden NFL 10 Video: Halftime Report (Chase @ E3)

Looks like a last min effort, I know these guys aren't saying "D*mn, this is good". Next year they'll tweak it.

Wow thanks a lot its cool how you can see players talking on the phone and the fans look so much better now.

The worst recorded line during the whole Half Time show was this:

"We'll get you straight to the highlights. Enjoy."

......................................

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?

[Cusefan]

Just In case anyone from Tiburon is reading through this thread I will post some contructive criticism.

Problem 1: #62 for the broncos stays motionless for about 7 seconds.

How I would fix it: Instead of having the Half time score First, then the cutscene that shows the players going into the locker room, I would flip it. For Example, The Half ends, The cutscene of Kyle Ortan, Go right into the players going into the locker room, then Show the Halftime score, and go Right into the Extra Point.

Problem 2: The Extra Point Audio

How I would Fix it: The women who is is doing the Extra point does not have enough lines for Half time, she literally only says 8 sentances, and it is not natural at all. Obviously this probably cannot get fixed intime for launch, but it needs to be fixed. Personally I would start the EP with Scores from around the league( or at least have it at the bottom ticker). NFL Music during the Replays(probably not enough time to get the commentators to do extra lines). Then the Stats, If she did not sound like a complete Robot then i do not think anyone would have a problem with the Half time show.

Another thing that MIGHT make the highlights okay without commentary besides music...slow motion.

That was awful and painful to watch.

I did and a few people did suggest things but most people said oh my got that sucks, or something similar to that without taking the time to explain how it could be improved.

Honestly I do not know how a half time show could be improved without being boring so that is why I suggested that people supply better feedback.

Moving on...

Some interesting ideas positive and negative include:

Scores from around the league would be great.

We see highlights on sunday halftime shows in real life
highlights from around the league would be odd because cpu vs cpu games are simmed so any highlights of a simmed game would just be made up.

Why can't the madden team ever get things right. I also don't underrstand why in the cutscenes the play call screen is blocking things like talking on the phone. Also I noticed in one vid with 2 players playing both play call screens were blocking the injured player gettiong taken away on the cart. Whats the point of putting it in the game if the cut scenes are being BLOCKED by the play call screens. C'mon EA.
