EA Sports Madden 15 Presentation - What It All Means

I doubt they will be full fledged 30-60 second commercials. My guess is that they'll be 10-15 second spots that will be extremely repetitive and probably button mashable.

I was just thinking about improvements to the weather,why can EA sports become partners with the Weather channel,like they did in ncaa football,so you can actually play in the weather that the game is being played in real-time or make it we're you can actually adjust the temperature as well as when your playing a game ,if there is a chance that it's going to snow or even rain,the game starts with no precipitation and starts snowing or raining during some point in the game and if it can be intermittent ,stops snowing or raining for a bit and starts again and the precipitation can start off light and then gets heavy! That would be awesome! If the Xbox one and ps4 are as powerful as they say they are,they shouldn't have a problem making that happen!

One more thing,are the 49ers helmets going to look more golden in color like in real life even and even at night,the saints helmets to and the raiders and cowboys ,patriots,Panthers helmets get the real shiny silver look to the as well during night games! Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

Remember the backlash EA got from the pop ads before plays. I cant imagine this will go over well. If its button mashable, it wont be as bad. Granted I haven't seen it yet, but I would have to guess there are so many better ways to add product placement in the game then having commercials.

Yeah. It definitely stood out as something I was immediately skeptical about. I think it could work if they're 10 second little clips and if there is multiple versions for each product and we get one in between quarters and maybe one for one timeout in each half. It was always awkward before when it would fade to black and then just fade out of black back into the game so I can see what they're trying to accomplish. And if it keeps Nantz from mentioning Verizon six times in one sound bite every time I enter the red zone, I'll gladly live with it.

I just really hope they're not full on commercials that are non-skippable. That would be absolutely horrible.

Great list thus far! Can't wait to read/see what they have to offer in terms of franchise mode!

But as far as gameplay and presentation, this list has me extremely excited for August 26th!

If I was in EA shoes and they wanted to add more ads into the game, I would keep sponsoring the starters, halftime stats, player of the game, etc would be the way to go (like they currently do). If they wanted to put more ads via a commercial they should it similar to NBA2k highlighting an upcoming game and slap a sponsorship on that...
