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

[ProjectSRT]

Anyone complaining about these new presentation features just doesnt know what the hell they are talking about. Go back and play the trash that was Madden 06 through Madden 09 and then come back and whine. To make this much improvement is awesome, i mean look at NCAA 2010, those ppl got nothing in terms of presentation improvements and the Madden folks are getting presentation close to what was seen in NFL 2k5.

Close but far from a cigar

Almost doesn't count...especially when going against a 4+year old game on LAST GEN....SMH

Nice lil upgrade though by Ian and Crew

Im not saying I don't like it but its going to take 2-3 installments to get it seamless. Typically EA has not kept things like this around long enough to provide that. Defiantly cool and slick the first time seeing it, but what about the 50th will it still come off fresh and "off the cuff", or will it be repetitive and stale?

I did the same with 2k5 after a few times, click, click, click. At least though it gives players an option to view it or not to.

Anything will be stale the 50th time you see it, well, not The Dark Knight...but anything else yes.

this is all looking fantastic so far and i cant wait for the game. Another thing that adds to the presentation ive seen and i havent heard mentioned is the montage similar to the espn one at the end of the game saying "this has been an nfl and ea sports presentation". Its at the end of the full game of the titans v ravens ian put on you tube

Sure the Extra Point is not perfect yet, but this is a HUGE leap in the right direction. H-U-G-E! I dont think this was a "half-assed" effort from EA. Madden has been a sinking ship with countless holes to fill since 06. The series sailed to sea with a hull that looked like a cheese-grater for the "next-gen" 360 launch. Im not defending EA and I will admit there is room for improvement, but lets be happy with what do finally do have - a substantial upgrade to presentation & immersion (finally).

I dont know about you being the biggest presentation whore there is... lol, lets just say your "one" of the biggest presentation whores there is...because you can look up my post history and see that i been harping on EAsports to revamp their presentation/Atmosphere in Madden since 2006 or so..or about the time NFL 2k had to close its doors.

With that being said, as i said i can "live" with this half time show..its ALOT better then last year lol..miles better but this should be greatly improved for M11 same with the actual play-by-play commentary, thet revamped playbyplay will add to the overall "flow" of the game, right now it just dont do that....you know, if madden gets the playbyplay redone, get more varied cutscenes and player emotion animations in there, smooth out the animation transition phases after plays,etc and add to the half time show,etc... Madden might just be the best sports game out there representing the KING of sports videogame presentation...

As i said in here for years...presentation is the KEY to the entire package..without presentation..the game is nothing, no fun, no excitement, no soul, no funfactor being pushed onto the gamer..its just a dud, period. Some videogame genre's can get by without such things but for sports videogames... presentation is the heart and soul of it all...especially when we are dealing with NFL Football. I would be totally baffled each year a new madden came out in why Madden never touched any real presentation aspects of their football game...this is why im very excited to the changes made with the madden dev team during this last off season, i had a feeling Ian and Company would take notice of our suggestions and input..and they did, this is proof in the pudding.

To me, presentation is JUST AS IMPORTANT as having good gameplay... seriously, people use to laugh at me in here years ago for posting such remarks..no lie, i had people make fun of me for saying stuff like how its so important for sports videogames to represent good tv like presentation...looks like more and more people have finally seen the "light"..

+1

100% agree. What makes COD4 the definative shooter? - Its the polish they put on top of incredible gameplay. What makes MLB The Show the definative sports game? - Its the polish they put on top of incredible gameplay. If Madden wants to reclaim the throne of the definative must-have sports game it will need to iron out those little bugs and showcase an authentic looking NFL game that you control. That should be the goal. I feel like we're getting close this year. Keep going...
