Off-Season Presentation addressed with more highlighted moves when it comes to Free Agency, Retirements, Hall Of Fame, Trades, Cuts/Releases, Re-Signings. Coaches now have Super Bowl record in stat pop-up Players (especially QB's) and Coaches records during playoffs and Super Bowls. Players Playoff & Super Bowl stats Last Season stats are popped up during the 1st game of the following years regular season.

Definitely I agree one Cowboys fan to another

what I've learned the past 10 years with Madden and when it comes to presentation. DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING. Cause if you do. You'll definitely be disappointed.

It is important to me that they get the uniforms, colors & details accurate. And, it goes without saying, none of this is important if they can't get the gameplay right. I just ask that they continue ironing out the gameplay experience, bec use if the gameplay ain't right, I don't care what the game looks like, I play the game to play it, not to pause it & take gorgeous screenshots (nothing wrong with that, though).

I think they maybe talking about different helmets like the Riddell Speed Flex helmets & the Schutt DNA with the two bars that are vertical like the Redskins running back Alford Morris wears. One arm sleeves would be nice, but the helmets & facemask are what I would like a variety of.
Peace

If I recall correctly, most of the presentation stuff gets turned off in online head-to-head play to minimize the possibility of desyncs.

Completely understandable, though for people who like online CFM such as myself it is a tough pill to swallow.

That actually makes a lot of sense, no wonder people didn't know about the Playoff brackets and upcoming schedule banners.

Is this for offline CCM or online?

I think he means something more than replays where most of the play is cutoff by the EA Sports logo. Maybe a highlights around the league thing? More than one guy talking? Etc.

Also this is true. No halftime for CFM online, which is weird since they said they wanted to merge the two together to streamline.

Anyway, regarding the thread's topic, I'm hoping to see that all the hype about the night lighting is based on reality. I'm hoping to be stunned by night time lighting. Also, I'm hoping all the uniforms are right, and that the replays aren't cut off by the EA Sports logo, especially the halftime and end game highlights.

I know it was in Madden 25 as part of the stadium music for all stadiums, so I don't think it was stadium specific like the Eagles, Vikes, and Bears songs that were in Madden 15.

Also, Patriots play that "this is our house" song that plays after every TD (truly cringe-worthy for every non-pats fans btw

).

I hope they have that deep bass sound that plays in Seattle when the visitor's offense is on 3rd down. You can definitely hear it through the speakers at home, especially these days since they've been on national tv almost every week.

Lastly, I really hope they can somehow capture the intensity of some stadiums compared to others, even if it's for future games. Something like 'dynamic stadium atmosphere' unique to each stadium since all stadiums are designed differently. Partially roofed stadiums like Seattle, open stadiums like Pittsburgh, domed stadiums like St. Louis, and the modern retractable roof stadiums like Jerry World all emit different stadium noise. Decibel levels are influenced by the stadium architectural design, acoustics, crowd attendance, wind, and certainly the game situation. I know the EA team can't visit every stadium to capture the unique atmosphere of each, but it'd be nice to have at least 5 or so stadiums with their own lifelike atmosphere blasting through our speakers. That would be a heck of an in-game presentation upgrade.

# 131 The JareBear @ 07/01/15 07:47 AM

Has there ever been an explanation why some presentation elements are disabled for user games?

Edit:

I missed CM's post a few above this. I can see why minimizing desyncs is a priority. I can't help but wonder why this seems to be only a big problem in sports games though.

I have a feeling today is the day for the reveal, we'll see though.

If it is, does that grant you the freedom to discuss the changes with us here? (I'm assuming you're already aware of the changes)

Maybe some, just can't do another Q&A thread like I did with gameplay.

# 135 jpdavis82 @ 07/01/15 09:07 AM

One thing I will say, and I may have already mentioned this, but when I played a game of Steelers Ravens at M&T, the Steelers fans had terrible towels. I just thought it was a nice touch and it goes along with the attention to detail.

Yea I remember seeing that somewhere. You did say it one of the other threads.

JP, how come EA being spotty with the release of info with Madden 16? While EA's NHL 16 did a info dump all on one day basically.

I don't get it, they have no other company that's making a Football Game, curious as to why they're holding their cards close to their vest?

I liked how they did a info dump for Madden 12, it was in separate blogs over the month of May, but it just gave the feeling they improved the game, which they did.

I felt like the gameplay reveal was pretty extensive, I would expect something similar with presentation.

I dont think they are being spotty. Most games do rollouts like this. You want news to steadily flow up until release week. Releasing all the info at once limits the amount of press and attention the game will get before release.
