Madden NFL 13 Video - Gameplay With Jim Nantz and Phil Simms In-Game Commentary

[ryan36]

Very disappointing. The crowd still goes silent when the commentary does. It's still choppy. We're on our 3rd commentary team in 4 games, but if I had to go on this video alone... the changes haven't helped. The announcers can go silent IF THE CROWD STAYS LOUD!!! It doesn't seem like it'd be that hard to program.

...and why in sports video games does a crowd get loud for 4 seconds during a big play , and then go to a murmur? The crowd stays excited for much longer after a big play.

Ryan;
Not sure if you saw info posted by JP, but he tweeted the Sound Designer and he said I'm not sure how old the OS/Pasta Padre game play is but it's an old mix. He also said stay tuned for the future.

I'll say this judiciously -- if it was that different from the final product, would they have even released the vid?

And I've heard "stay tuned" (from all titles) before. So I'm skeptical... I sure hope it ends up what I thought it would be. For all the "flaws" m12 had, I'd probably still own it as at least "kinda playable/fun" if the commentary was better.

To me, it almost looks like someone put videos we have seen together and then edited the commentary later. It does not look like its from EA (or at least I hope it's not). It just looks fan made to me.

He didn't know where the video came from, it's not like the video was released by EA directly.

I agree, don't know why they showed it.

I do know that after the video cast, Chase came in and posted they didn't showcase gameplay with commentary for the video cast for obvious reasons. ie, June 4th

I think you nailed it on this one.

Do yourself a favor and at least wait until June 4th to see if they are going to unveil a physics engine of some sort, which is the big rumor right now.
