I think we can all agree that no matter what that 2nd thing is, it won't live up to what everyone hopes and expects it may be

Could totally see a Minority Report-style play builder, grabbing routes and players and positioning them into slots on the screen, hiking the ball or calling audibles by speaking them... some neat stuff that I might use once or twice... but disappointment I'll read about here for years.

doesn't seem like their updating superstar or franchise... just connecting them?

if we all agree that Kinect will likely have some impact on Madden 13, it will most likely be with voice activated playcalling, maybe as an added feature for Gameflow, not game play directly. That way it's available if you have a Kinect but it's no big loss if you don't.

Who knows though, except for ChaseB and he ain't no snitch! lol

Jim Nantz and Phil Simms call the action from the booth, while you call your own shots using Kinect.

That Beyond Broadcast stuff was just like the epitome of what was ticking people off with Madden this Gen.....

So needless to say it was a big relief last year when we heard that they went to the experts on that finally.....

Its a wise investment and will really pay off for them if they keep building on it

It really wouldn't be that different from navigating the dashboard if you could say things like "motion, 31 right", "audible, run, 4" ...would be surprised if you had to speak the plays, and instead spoke to slots. Maybe they could be renamed though... "check, run, jumbo". Saying that first keyword would just adjust the UI and reveals the elements you can speak next. I'm not even sure i'd want to hike with my voice... "hut, hut, hike!" ?

Or the UI is changed so much they can't show off one without spoiling another overarching feature like how they're all connected now so they're being rolled out all together.

I'm loving the presentation focus but I'm taking a stand this yr if they've left franchise mode untouched and or buggy this is a no buy for me. I've waited too long for a franchise mode up to last gen standards.

I guess I'm going to have to get another XBOX.... I got this BS open tray error..... anyway what got my interest is the connected careers thing.... and who are the new announcers.... I hope the game match the hype
