Has anyone ever seen the HOME team's fan's celebrating with their team while going in at halftime. Every screen and video I have seen has featured the road team being the one to get props from their fans.

The extra point wasn't great but it's definitely a huge improvement from previous years' games. I'm liking what I'm seeing.

i can see why some people want this, but I don't see myself ever watching it more than once

Watching unnatural commentary on stats that I don't care about regarding other CPU controlled games is boring as hell. Maybe if they have actual highlights from the user games it might be decent to watch.

I just wanna play the game and have great amazing gameplay. I don't care about all this fluff

That's it? A little disappointing imo.
It's a step in the right direction at least.

Looks fantastic. I still can't believe the improvements they've made in just a year.

So as long as you guys are okay with prescripted highlights, I assume they will probably be in next year. I could care less about those highlight shows because they are not actual game footage.

NFL 2k5 the highlights from the games you played were real in the halftime/post-game and weekly wrap up show. The highlights from games you did not play matched plays of the simmed game but they were pre-canned. (i.e. They wouldn't show an interception highlight if there weren't any interceptions in the game). Most importantly, the highlights were broken down during the shows which really added great immersion factor to the shows and franchise mode. I only hope Madden heads in that direction.

One thing I don't like is showing real video footage of the studio people then showing "video game graphics" highlights. There is just too much of a disjoint there that ruins the immersion. I would much rather have virtual studio hosts in a virtual studio so all the graphics matched.

Interesting comments. I think I agree.

Seeing real people is obviously nice at first, but it does lessen the immersion. I'd take 2K5's version of Chris Berman over seeing the real person.
