Madden NFL 16 Presentation Details

[Tomski]

Looking forward to getting the game and the presentation things overall look good. Nothing mind-blowing, but some definite improvements.

The biggest concern that I have is that they use the phrase "throughout the league" when talking about the enhancements to the crowds, songs, etc. I hope I am wrong but to me that sounds like code for "not all teams."
The biggest presentation buzzkill I had in Madden 15 was hearing the crowd chanting "J-E-T-S" in New York, hearing the Panther growl in Carolina or hearing any number of specific team-oriented cheers at other stadiums. They I play a game in Buffalo and there is no "Let's Go, Buff-a-lo" chants, or the train horn blaring, or the "Shout" song.
I'm sure there are other teams that get screwed out of having realistic team chants, but EA's penchant for giving these features to some teams and ignoring others is really frustrating. I am still clinging to the hope that it will be rectified in 16.

If the don't want to make it in the game They should make us a cool app and website and presentation game for 19.99 that does the sports ticker, Highlight games to the ESPN network and does weekly recap and draft and free agency with radio show and magaizines and social. That way us die hard fan would pay 20 bucks for the upgrade and feature. WIN WIN,, And other fans that dont want doesnt have to purchase it.

I want it as well, However we shouldn't have to pay for a feature that if can be made dlc SHOULD be in the game. I think these things are coming just game play has been the focus point which it should be

I was told they went after them for all 32 teams but certain restrictions permitted some of them, one being certain songs were extremely costly to obtain the license for, ie more modern songs.

He says something along the lines of "its not looking good for "your team" as Andy Dalton just tossed a 50 yard TD to put the Bengals up by 17". Shoot if they could show a replay of that our collective heads would explode. They could do the same for record breaking performances, MVP races, last games by HOF's, etc. Even a ticker saying "so and so now leads NFC North" would be nice. Instead we get a ticker for XP.

I can't express how amazing something like that would be. It would really take franchise mode to a whole new level of immersion. Instead of just a bunch of isolated games, it would actually feel like it's a real league that we are part of....which is something that a basic feature like a score ticker would also help achieve!

That's understandable. I hope for the things that wouldn't require getting the rights they tried to do something for each team. "Let's Go Buffalo" and similar chants should be doable.

When I get my copy I'll go team by team and let you guys know what is in there, once I'm allowed to post about it.

I was wondering what they had to go through for song licensing. I know they had the Shout song in the game a couple of years ago, but then it disappeared. Figured there might be an issue. But fingers crossed that there is something unique for games at Orchard Park.

Thanks so much for all your intel, and what you add to these boards.

The NFL is so concerned with their image, they strong-arm their way through a lot of cool features. Player personalities (remember players that were 'Team Distractions' if their morale got too low?) are another example of this.

EA needs to grow some balls and stand up to the NFL, maybe they can come to an agreement to limit dynamic crowds to CFM Franchise mode only.
