I will still buy this game regardless, but I really wanted video highlights for the weekly "highlight" show

I never played NFL 2k5, but I did play the College Hoops 2k series, and I know they had fake highlights when looking at the top games from the past week.

Then again, Madden has always sold based on a lot of fluff and shininess. Like I said on the other thread, I have come faith since Looman did good stuff with HC, but unless they tell us A LOT more about things like contracts, the Draft, and such, this game is still rent first IMO.

These are my thoughts exactly. While the highlight show is great for the presentation aspect of franchise, what have they added to the core aspect of franchise mode, meaning the actual things involved in running a franchise?

My fear is that they have added nothing, and just fixed things that were broken last year while adding the highlight show to make it appear to be a whole new franchise mode. Essentially, it looks to be the exact same mode with a prettier interface and highlight show. The same mode I could only get through 4 seasons of in Madden 09 without getting bored.

So what's really new with the Extra Point show? Except that all the important infos are now available in a PTI-like sidebar. I'm not that impressed with this "feature".

Like a poster said "unless hightlights are from the actual game, its pointless" I sim(watch) all of my games out and its lame to watch a highlight that didnt even occur in the game...hence Choops2k8 and 2k5's sportscenter thing(halftime was legit, madden09 was similar...)

Most of those people aren't truly disappointed, they're secretly happy that some bad news trickled out.

So far so good.
