AND THEN YOU'LL FIND OUT HOW BORING IT IS AND HOW THE ONLY NEW THING IS THE LAYOUT.

Man, the video mash feature for SportsWorld does make it kinda ridiculous to do your own thing.

For myself personally, this does not sway me at all in wanting this game, because of the key elements of franchise are still bad, then the "Extra Point" means nothing. I'm hoping we can see a LOT more about the fundamentals in the near future.

Well you actually fall into that 1% that does not care about gameplay or Presentation. Your Probably going to want to keep on playing Head Coach, Josh Looman already said the Franchise in Madden 10 will not be as good as Head Coach. So Madden will probably not please you because they are not making the game for people like you, that is why you got Head Coach.

LOL.

I thought I was on a sports site watching that extra point show just now, looks so real.

I saw Shaun Phillips name at the top and almost said to my self the Chargers fans are going to be pissed if he got into some off the field issues.(Thats how real it felt to me just now)

Ok Ian confirms half-time and post-game shows to me on Twitter. GO IAN!

Quote:

@thmst30 both have a recap of stats, video highlights with banners, and some commentary along with different cut scenes. @thmst30 and different stuff in franchise including scores around the league and special post game celebrations based on the week

Well, if Raczilla is whom everyone says he is then there are NO highlight shows at all in Madden 10. Yes, not even in the halftime or postgame. I'm not talking about highlights, I'm talking about highlight SHOWS (where it has narration of big plays along with it).

From Kev5890: People are curious if its just highlights at halftime/postgame like 09..or a show ala 2k5.

From Raczilla: That's correct about halftime and post-game. Just not sure about XP.

What I get from this is, that the halftime/postgame highlights are just like they were in Madden 09 which means there is no "show".

Hopefully it will be DLC or a patch.


Edit: I retract my previous statement. Now Ian is saying there IS in fact a halftime/postgame SHOW with highlights and narration.

and kickers make it over defensive players such as urlacher,j.taylor,winfield,ect...

i hope thats fixed
