Madden NFL 13 Playbook #3 Webcast Starting Now, Post Your Thoughts Here

[Dirk504]

Overall I'm pretty impressed, especially with the crowd noise and the QB cadence. I don't really care about the EA trax getting took out because I like the more traditional music they have. However I hope we can at least add custom stadium music. It would be tight if I could have Future's "Tony Montana" song playing before kick off at Candle Stick park.

Something to think about with QB cadences... I believe the ones that will actually make the game would be quite more simple and generic than the soundbites we got today.

My reasoning: If I'm on offense and my QB is under center to get the snap, I could basically press X at any moment to snap the ball (hut sound) I'm having a tough time thinking how'd they code the soundbites so that all that "blue 80, blue 80, red 58...." works correctly with me snapping the ball at any time. I guess this could work easier with CPU controlled QB's.

In general for me, some very welcome additions to the audio system.

Would have definitely liked to get some more depth on cadences in franchise mode. This is one of my pet peeves with Madden in general, sometimes I believe they put so much time/effort into features (presentation/audio) that apply more to PLAY NOW mode and don't translate so well to deeper game modes...

Yeah it's nice to know they have a soundbite for "Dalton vs. Palmer" but that would be of nearly zero significance to a franchise mode, as this would seldom happen.

I'm not sure how I'm gonna like the new songs over the ea tracks. Listening to that webcast made me wanna get a surround sound. Like I said in a previous posts commentary just gets old to someone that plays madden exclusively, so I'll turn it off after a little while. QB cadence is pretty dang cool. I wish they would have showed Romo's.

They kind of made it sound like the new madden theme is gonna be the theme for the series but then said it's just madden 13 theme, so that kind of confused me. That's how I interrupted it at least, I could be wrong.

I like how the lead guy explained everything nicely and I think he did a good job.

This year I could only interact so much.

So disappointed you're not Kyle Korver, lol.

You did a great job today...I will say this I hope the negatives are a lot less in 13 than in years past...my heart can only be broke so many times by the same man (Madden)

They have the blog up now (I think) and a replay should be coming on later today or tomorrow. I still have the site up and they're talking about something but I'm not really listening.

I wonder if it's possible to have a variety of QB cadences for quarterbacks that are drafted in franchise mode?
