Re: Madden NFL 15: Presentation is One Step Forward, Four Steps Back

I don't agree with this article at all. I think that Madden is finally at the point where presentation is spot on. I know that the guy they used for the halftime report is awful, but other than that the presentation is the best there has been in any football video game (and I'm a guy that thought the other game's presentation couldn't be beat).

The problem with the presentation is that everything is going to be stale after a while. Even NBA 2kX, which has been noted for top notch broadcasting, repeats itself all of the time. We have a good base here...

They used it for NCAA football. Since only one game a week is on ESPN, it would cost resources to make a ESPN style broadcast that would be better spent elsewhere.

Add another announcing crew, improve the presentation a bit, and call it a day.

Re: Madden NFL 15: Presentation is One Step Forward, Four Steps Back

I honestly don't see what all the fuss is about with commentary. I've only heard wrong names/situations used after using Super Sim (which is to be expected), and have only heard the wrong name called once (an opposing QB who wasn't on the field).

There is a fair amount of dynamic content in there that has never been in past Maddens. In a game I played last night, Nantz and Simms referenced that my quarterback was 75 and 25 yards away from breaking the single-game passing record. I found that pretty cool.

Is it perfect? Not at all. Could improvements be made? Absolutely. Should they start from scratch? Absolutely not.

The reason why the Madden franchise seems as unstable as the Buffalo Bills these days is because they feel the need, either from fans or internally, to scrap promising features entirely after only a few years instead of improving them.

While that happens, "legacy issues" continue to surface so it's apparent these games truly never have been "built from the ground up".

100% agree with this. Everyone seems to hold NBA 2K's presentation up as the gold standard. While it is great, the commentary get incredibly repetitive very quickly.

Re: Madden NFL 15: Presentation is One Step Forward, Four Steps Back

presentation isn't very good, i wish i can skip them all and it wont let me as quickly. It is as if they are forcing me to listen to the half time show and crap.

The announcers spew the same thing over and over again in the same game becomes repetitive. Even with all this, i dont even care, i rather them focus on the gameplay,

Re: Madden NFL 15: Presentation is One Step Forward, Four Steps Back

They're halfway there on presentation. Some things are awesome, some are head scratchers. Madden is hit or miss in every area, and even with the hits, they aren't consistent. There's always something that makes me say "damn that was pretty awesome" then the very next moment I'm like "WTF!?!?". Never fails. Tiburon hates me.
