They sure were, but guess what now they're back my friend. I've been waiting awhile for this.

Are they going to bring back the NFL Films music? the stuff they had before last year when they took it out of Madden 12 >

I used to mute all the artist music and just play my NFL Nostalgia music......as well as the remix ones, because they are quite good..imo.

They could have played some audio of play by play commentary without having to show gameplay. Hiding something or not? Hope it will be decent.

Great webcast. I can't wait to hear some in-game audio. Here's what has impressed me the most after having listened: it seems that the guys down there have no problem copying a great idea and putting their own spin on it. And bringing in proven talent from other studios, along with their tools. I'm not sure if they intended to do things this way; but it's working out splendidly.

From a presentation standpoint, I think that we can finally call the NFL2k announcers "last gen." While they were very entertaining, they weren't authentic. Heck, I'll go so far as to put this effort above NBA2k's three man booth. These guys are visible; enough said. I can't wait to see more footage of the broadcast team in action. I'm wondering how well the lip-sync turned out.

Now to the tech. I cannot express my joy at hearing that they are using Fifa tech and an ex-Fifa team member. Maybe that will translate across the entire game? Seriously, to see the Madden team tie into the resources of the most advanced EA game available makes me have great hope for the turnaround of this game. While this wasn't a "sexy" blog; I come away from it with a lot of hope for this year's title. Audio has long been a weak point in this game. To see it addressed makes me start to believe that maybe they really did rip apart whole areas of the game they haven't touched on yet.

P.S. Congrats on the facetime, Chase! Always wondered what you looked like!!!!!!

To build on this, the difference is the sound sample. Same is true for stuff like on-field chatter and crowd noise. The difference this year is the quality of the sample.

Sorry, I'm at work guys. I haven't actually seen the webcats.

But I'm not reading anything about Trey Wingo inclusion. What happened?


THe only thing I saw was where someone said they the info on him and a possible weekly or halftime type thing would be included in the connected careers blog.

But that makes no sense. This is a presentation and/or audio item. Not a sinlge player item.

This wasn't a presentation webcast. This was purely about audio. Meaning: crowd noise, cadences, play by play technology, sound library, intro sounds, etc.

I know. Thats my point. Presentation has come and gone. Still no info on how he's in the game.
