Madden NFL 10 Video: Franchise Hub & Extra Point Show (IGN)

[TheWatcher]

Kinda funny how Alex mentioned stats and highlights, even though there are no highlights.

That said, the franchise show is actually kinda cool. Just missing highlights. I wonder if they at least had the opportunity to use gamepics as an alternative, and if they did why they didn't do it.

Not bad for a first try, the writing is still an issue though. I don't really get the necessity to write-in that they're from the NFL Network. That fact is irrelevant, and if you're trying to make your own show believeable you wouldn't be saying anything about another network. It's just another one of those subtle little things that the writers don't seem to have any understanding of. Unless the NFL Network forced them to include it, I can't otherwise see the rationale.

Dang, Marques Colston beastin' it up week 1, 134 yds and 4 TD's. I wonder how many TD's Drew Brees had. jk. Yea, looked like the user skipped like the whole thing.

the only thing they need are voice overs during the replays. and not by hammond and collinsworth. we get enough (read: too much) of those guys during the actual game.

I sure hope that that was a flukey example of a Player of the Week. That's a monster performance.

Dumb, nitpick but I wonder if Alex will wear different stuff.

I don't think so. The play and the half had just ended on the whistle. The game isn't set up (nor should it be) to read the score before the half even ends.

Unfortunately, what we just witnessed is a mistake that's gone unfixed and probably because no one noticed it was a mistake... and that in and of itself is a problem. I'm hoping very much that they get some actual writing talent in there at some point, and some new (better) guys recording, editing and overseeing this aspect. It's really a shame to see something with so much potential be screwed up because of something so minor.

No they need music and voice overs with emotion, some highs and lows as you read the high/low lights. Go to you tube and listen to C. Berman when he does the half time show or listen to Trey Wingo and Mel Kipper Jr. in the Franchise Sports Center in nfl 2k5. You need the content to be read in an emotional manner, not the sterile manner in which we are getting. I like that they are doing this but I want to keep coming back, if its a skip fest then it loses all its relevance.

Nice Video!! the Extra Point was better than I had expected, it being the first year put in. It will very fun to see this improve in future games. Not a fan, howeber, of the fake ad of "Quickie Burgers" admist REAL companies like Sprint...(I may have missed something as far as it being in the franchise hub, I know fake ads have been on the field for years)
