i'LL GIVE U THE AUDIO COMPLAINTS BUT THE GUY WHO SHOT THE VIDEO SAID HE SUPER SIM'D THROUGH THE FIRST HALF SO THATS WHY THEY WERE ****TY HIGHLIGHTS

i didn't find it to be horrible at all.

I mean, c'mon guys... after a month, we'll be skipping the halftime show anyway. It's really not such a big deal. The game looks solid. Let's hope it's what we prayed for and not another '09...

What is the point of a halftime report that just shows highlights with no one in the studio talking about them? Waste of time, space and effort if you ask me. Do it right or don't put it in until you can

Not true, I still watch the halftime show in every 2k5 game I play.

Overall Madden 10 seems like en awesome game so far. Gameplay is good, at least better than last year. Graphics and weather effects are top-notch and in-game presentation (cutscenes) gives the game a great look. My only negative point is all these shows which are too short, and lack music or commentary by the hosts.

I can live with what they give me to play as who am I to say the game suck because it "doesnt do this" or "doesnt do that". But you better believe when I play what they give me, if its garbage, im going to say its garbage. This is my beef. I really hate to start judging the game on a 2 minute demo of a halftime show but apply the halftime show to the rest of the world. A good student is a good student. A bad student is a bad student. Its not like bad students do great in half there classes and then do nothing in the other half. A bad student, doesnt study and gets bad grades. If you release a solid game, half the game isnt poor quality and the other half is great quality. A bad game is a bad game, a good quality game is a good quality game. I mean great games dont have these parts in it that are thrown together and dont work properly. If they cant implement something and make it work the way its supposed to, then it shouldnt be in the game. It should be on the cutting room floor. This is a leadership issue that obviously still isnt straightened out at EA.

EA has stated on numerous occassions that the reason all the last gen features were not in next gen was because they didn't want to put them in until they could do it in a way that was truly next gen.

That was truly next gen ???

Just something to note (from ChaseB's writeup):

(On another note, I see a lot of people complaining about the highlights within the halftime show. While I understand some of the complaints, I want to be clear that the reason the highlights are bad is because I Super Simmed to get to the halftime show quickly. When you Super Sim, the game does not create manufactured highlights from the simmed plays. In other words, the game only had a handful of plays from the half to choose from, so you saw things like a 4-yard run and so on.)
