Madden NFL 10 Video: Halftime Report (Chase @ E3)

[johnprestonevans]

Im happy about the Halftime Show's inclusion in this years game. The editing is really nice. The camera angles are looking good too. I like how they talk about the stats a bit, but I really wish they had full commentary of the highlight portion. Same with the NFL Access weekly Extra Point Show. They recap the game, but they don't have highlights from around the league. Maybe im being picky. It's great this stuff is finally in Madden, but it hasn't quite been taken to the level I want it to be. Still, some great groundwork from EA here. Much improved over Madden 09's halftime show.

I look at this and I see a foundation for better things to come.

No the halftime report may not be as extravagant as we may want, but its a place to start. Look at where we were and compare it to where we are now after one year, and then allow yourself to think of what could be in the future.

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.)

People are not complaining about the lack of good replays in the highlight show - people are complaining about the fact that there is no commentary or analysis OF the Highlights; and there are no Highlights from any OTHER games in the league.

I missed all the brew-ha-ha yesterday.

Anyway, here's my take.

Would everyone agree this is the best one year leap in the Madden series on NG? I'm just talking about Madden on NG, alone.

The gameplay looks good, online franchise is in, colored cleats are in, Ray Lewis intro is in, etc....... It looks a lot better than 09, much better.

NBA 2k9 had the lamest halftime I've ever seen besides the NG Maddens. They went to a Sports Central area without anyone present on camera and a voice-over going over the stats.

This is NBA 2k9 we are talking about, the kings, supposedly of presentation. And yet, no one rips their attempt of a half-time show.

Irony.

what's up roadman, how u doing? I agree about NBA2K9 halftime show, it was lame. But people are complaining about no commentary. Again we basis this on the dreaded 2K5 series..lol. It was done well with chris berman. People are envisioning that halftime show, I like where they are headed, put it wouldn't be a issue if they had commentary and broadcast angle viewing it, like 2K5.

I realize that but some were also complaning about the highlights themselves... Hence my post

First time I saw halftime vid and I almost spit out my water laughing at how pathetic that was. Oh well, I'll be skipping that lame attempt at a halftime show.

C'mon EA, if you're gonna tweak your presentation you gotta do it the right way. Not half-*** it.
