Madden NFL 12 Picture - Cheerleaders (Taken From Camera)

[TreFacTor]

If you can't knock em down, it's really no big deal. I've always hated the generic player on the sidelines and the personnel behind the endzone because you simply go through them as if they weren't there so why even have em there. (aesthetics I KNOW!) Just once I'd like to see the players run into a photog or mike holder, run into players on the sideline as they try to keep you from hitting a table... little details are a step closer, but most of the new additions were in last gen games in some form or fashion. It's nice to see them return and little things matter, but can't they take it one step further on next gen?


I know I'm being unrealistic, and nit picking, I'd just rather see a full fledge halftime show instead.

Unless of course you prefer digital women over the real thing.

They have their advantages My point wasn't about cheerleaders but made in reference to a comment about gameplay being the one and only important aspect of the game. As somebody who played little of M11 out of frustration, I'll be happy if cheeleaders are the icing on the proverbial cake as far as what Madden 12 has improved upon presentation wise.

There will not be cheerleaders for teams that don't have them.

hey Michael, has it ever came up about using MLAA for the PS3 version? There have been two more EA games that released these past couple of months that use MLAA in their games...Dragon Age 2 and Need For Speed Shift.

just curious if it has came up and maybe it doesn't work well with a game like Madden... I personally think it would, and if it is a thing where you fellas might not think we would notice or appreciate it....actually we would.

I think it would be a cool gesture. I would personally finally have closure for that whole Madden 08 thing for us PS3 gamers...lol.

the over reaction people have for any information is ridiculous. So many people getting upset that we saw a screenshot of a cheerleader cutscene. GASP! HOW DARE THEY PUT ALL OF THEIR TIME FOCUSING ON CHEERLEADERS!!! Its a screenshot of a second of someone playing that game. If the picture is taking 2 seconds later it could be of the pause menu, the halftime show, the kickoff whatever but its just a picture of the cheerleaders. NCAA has them. The real NFL has them, people always talk about wanting real sidelines, well here ya go. It isn't like they spent the entire year focusing on cheerleaders.

People always act as if every department works on 1 task.

and this cutscene looks like an actual broadcast which fades to commercial or the studio for the halftime show by showing the cheerleaders and displaying the score.

This is what I was thinking. Looks a lot like a shot NBA2k11 uses when a quarter ends. Not the most original idea, but it works on NBA2k, should work for Madden.

I personally don't think any conclusions at all can be drawn about Madden 12 from this image other than some kind of presentational element involving cheerleaders.

Amen to this post.......

I know the guy says he was kidding but I get so tired of seeing people posts that EA needs to only focus on gameplay.

There are so many more elements to ANY sports game. If Madden ONLY improved their gameplay they would lose this gamer whose NEVER passed on a version of Madden.
