Ian said that the crowd noise was completely broken in that build.

Everything looked good but I agree with the guys, Hammonds needs to go. He takes away the life of the game.

Eurgh, exactly.

The intro was boring as hell. This is definitely not what I was expecting, especially since Ian told us he religiously researched ESPN 2k5.

For everyone who disagrees, take a look at the ESPN 2k5 intro. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HB2J...eature=related . **** gets you pumped up. You see the crowd, you see the players, the music is blaring, and the commentators seamlessly interweave into the action.

The intro for M10 has fancy new lettering for the logos, but aside from that, it definitely didn't get me into the game.

Damnit.

It would be nice if they could show off the new face art more and use them in place of the silhouettes on the roster screens for guys without pics.

While watching that video, I definitely thought of NFL2K5 with the amount of little things that have been added to the game. This is a very good thing.

I really like the direction this game is headed. Question though, just for clarity; do all the scripted events (i.e. player celebrations, coin toss, etc.) have a fade to black before they occur, a la FIFA? Or was that done by IGN for editing purposes (I noticed they skipped the playcalling screens using the same effect)?

After watching the video, the issue I have is that I just don't believe Tom Hammonds is watching the game.

In NFL 2K5, I felt that Stevens and O'Keefe were watching and reacting to my game. I felt that Chris Collinsworth was reacting to my game.

With Hammond, I feel like he's in a secluded studio reading lines and delivering choppy lines. It takes me out of the immerson of the game. It's akin to going to the movies and watching really bad visual effects. Sure, that CGI is supposed to look like plane flying through the sky, but you just don't buy it, and it gets to the point where it becomes a distraction to the movie.

I love this!



And guys take a look at this screenshot!
I LOVE the little stat bars at the bottom, with player specific stats. Also notice the depth of field:

Dude...We probably saw less than 30% of the pregame.
