Josh Looman Talks Madden NFL 10 Franchise Mode

[Obelysk]

Forget every major feature and fixes that they made for this game! If the top stories are injuries then I am not buying this game!

Re: no highlights in the extra point..tough call but we wanted something (recaps) over nothing. They will be added in DLC, patch, or 11

An authentic pre-game/halftime/post-game HIGHLIGHTS SHOW.

I think the game is headed in the right direction (please don't get me wrong), but we really really were looking forward to getting an actual highlight show this year. There are those of us who could have done without online franchise, without injury carts, without colored cleats, without hand towels, without the kitchen sink.

We just wanted to see a really nice highlights show with narration. Please, Santa Cummings ...it's all I want for christmas.

Edit: Some of us would pay MORE money to be able to have the highlights show as DLC. Alot more money. We live, breathe, eat, and sleep the NFL.

All people can do is bash Ian and crew work. It;s great franchise addtion. I have no problem. If you don't like it then don't by it that simple. No onr is twisting your arm to buy it. The presention looks great compared to 2k5.

No need to yell.

If the Extra Point Show is nothing more than just a new interface to show stats, box scores, and a simple preview of upcoming games with NO highlights it won't be impressive honestly. And yes I will hate to say this, and I will get bashed for it but it needs to be said: 2k5 will still beat it. I know knives are being thrown at my head right now, but it's true. The Extra Point Show is a great idea, but you HAVE to put HIGHLIGHTS with narration of the big plays in there. Otherwise it's just a nicer fluff way of showing just a box score and a preview of next week games. Sad to say it, but some of these posters are right. We need highlights.

You know, this is an interesting point. But here's the thing...I loved NFL 2K5, and loved the Sportscenter...but after you watched the highlights again and again...we you still watching them in season 3 and 4?

I know I was, but it didn't have that same "it" factor that it did in year one.

Now, maybe on the next gen (current gen?) they can make much, more more highlights, which would lead to more replay value.

I think my thing is this...is the Extra Point Show an actual SHOW...like NFL 2K5's Sportscenter...or is it just a excellent, convenient menu system? If it's the former, where we get Fran Charles giving us (with his voice) updates on injuries, news around the league, weekly awards, free agency info, a draft preview, who's a draft sleeper, who's stock is up and down...then that's a success.

If it's the latter, then it's a great way to concentrate a large volume of info into one space, but it's an immense disappointment from what we all wanted--which was a SHOW that made it feel like the NFL league that we play in week after week, year after year, is alive and constantly changing.

Which is not really what I would like....I'm happy with what they got in there !

Nail on the head.
