Right, I agree M13 looks a lot like CBS presentation. I'm saying I was fan of last year when in interviews they spoke about how they were trying to make their presentation graphics give the feel of a real broadcast while creating their own "EA network" identity with them. I thought it was something they would continue to brand and improve in future years but I guess not.

Like I said though, they're improving either way so whether it's a mimick of CBS and other stations or it's a more unique look, I'm happy with it.

I think it's hard to create a broadcast feel without using elements we're used to seeing on TV.

Definitely. I thought last year's did a pretty good job of feeling original. I was a little disappointed when I saw the first scoreboard that came out but with the recent improvements they made I like it much much more.

Looks better, and like the smaller EA logo, but the blue needs to go IMO. Just doesn't fit.

Doesn't fit with what? What color would you make it?

I don't mind EA making their own brand, but some things should make logical sense or be esthetically pleasing. EA's original M13 score bug does neither for me, and their proposed new one is better but not by much. I think what we helped put together makes more sense. But I'm obviously biased

Keep in mind that for Madden 12 they worked with CBS for the new camera presentation in that game. I wasn't surprised when they got Sims and Nantz. The camera presentation, how the game follows the QB onto the field, and even the half time cut is how CBS cuts to commercial. Doesn't Gus Johnson work for CBS as well?

EA wants their own brand, but the epic fail that was Madden 09 showed that we didn't want X-Men Danger room presentation. We want what we see on TV. I think EA doesn't want to go ESPN style too much because of comparisons to "that other game." I'm sure CBS is happy that Madden is copying a lot of what they do. Otherwise they wouldn't have let them in to learn from them.
