Madden NFL 13 Presentation Impressions

[poster]

Thanks jp for asking Mike about the whole starting lineup being tiered. I know he said it would be, but I had a slight bit of reservation after seeing the screen grab, even though it was obviously filler (Steelers players showed during GB vs TB game).

Hopefully it is dynamic week to week with quick stat blurbs from recent franchise games. Having Phil & Jim wear different suits or having them wear jackets when it gets cold would also be nice.

Looks good but like weve seen every year presentation means nothing ive the gameplay on the field sucks like it normally does

I HOPE those suits are just place holders to get out these first vids and the suits will be varied for each game throughout the season.

Would seem similar to the multiple in-game uniforms and they way players can put on a different when they change teams. It's possible they didn't even think of the commentators clothes in the mist of everything else though. Maybe the people going back for CD can bring it to their attention.

OMG...we finally get some seemingly solid presentation that actually looks like a real broadcast from the word go, and people are complaining about suits now?

LOL. It's not so much a complaint, it's more of an observation.

It won't ruin the presentation if they wear the same clothes but wouldn't you agree that it would definitely help keep actually seeing the commentators every game, fresh and unique, if they wear different clothes?

Like I stated before, with them being digitized, is doesn't seem like it would be that much different than in-game players wearing different uniforms. We are putting it out there in hopes that it can be addressed before the game goes final, not as a "this ruins everything" gripe. lol

I'm confused. Are you saying that you DO know that they're going to continue (wait ... have they ever started?) building on old stuff. If so, then you know something that no other gamer that's ever bought the Madden series knows. If you THINK they are going to start building onto what they already have in Madden, my oh my do you have a lot to learn about EA. I'm not intending to sound demeaning or anything, just trying to dispel any notions that EA has changed the way it does business, which their long, long history suggest otherwise.

I would be happy if they just change the color of the shirts and ties for Nantz and Sims on the pre-game. Have like a random color thing just like they randomly choose weather for each game. I think that would keep it fresh. And then in colder games, have on the big overcoats and possibly a hat. And then just change the colors for those. I don't need to see all kinds of different types of clothes, just change the colors.

We usually agree on ALOT but not this. I could care less about their suits. They look f'n good in game as is.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, about changing the colors. Seems like that would be incredibly easy to add in there
