What do people think about presentation?

[ninertravel]

I do like some new things but no variety at all a pre season game the players come out looking like they are entering the super bowl.

Also what happened to the O Line players on the first drive of a team in the game?? all I see now is the QB announced with player ratings or season stats. they don't focus on any other players. remember when they would show the O-line starters ?? and stuff like that why is that no more?

What EA is able to do with gameday presentation each year unfortunately always falls somewhere in the middle of a never-ending tug-of-war between the "we want authenticity, presentation, and spectacle" sim crowd and the "we will button through every cutscene because we just want to play the damn game" competitive / MUT crowd.

It's a weird middle ground that never really satisfies anyone, and justifying building features which don't cater to the entire game audience is a tough pitch for producers to make on a game as big as Madden is.

As someone who generally never skips cutscenes, I'd certainly like to see them do more than they currently have.

I never understood why they couldn't just include an option to have full-blown TV-style presentation with a "quick-play" option in the menu that turns this presentation off for those that want to skip through everything. I honestly even miss the break from the huddle and walk up to the line and always hated they took that out to cater to the "hurry-up-always-in-a-rush online crowd".

I do miss when they used to show the starters on offense and defense.

I look at presentation when I first get the game but after awhile I just want to get to the game. I will say this is the most I have played the game in a long time without silencing the announcers. I am already tired of the finished the season announcement a game early though.

Needs work.


(1) We need more presentation.
(2) We need presentation and camera angles that duplicate broadcasts, rather than these "beyond broadcast" things.

I like the pregame...thankfully they scrapped that stupid highlight reel Monday Night Raw looking thing they did last year. (Who the hell thought it was a good idea to show highlights for a game that hadn't even been played yet!!?)

But the QB intro/stats is awful...maybe it appeals to casuals but we want to see the damn lineups like a real broadcast.

Some of the other stuff is okay, but the player interaction on the sideline needs work...I always see offensive players arguing with defensive players on the sideline about a play. That literally would never happen.

Couple that with the fact there are now a TON of coaches who don't have they're likenesses in the game, and the entire package is incredibly immersion breaking.

The engine looks great, 120hz is beautiful on my Series X ..but they need to do better here.

That was am option just a year or two ago. There was a standard presentation option and a quick presentation option. Unfortunately this was only an option for Play Now games. It may still be there, I honestly don't remember if it is or not.
