An Early Look at Madden NFL 17 Presentation

I don't think I've seen a screen shot with a debug kit on it, either.

Madden 16, they hid the towels and the sideline gear and camera men gear, they also hid the fact there were females in the crowd. Madden 13 they showed us videos of gameplay without the infinity engine, if they can hide that engine, they definitely "could" hide equipment but we just have to wait and see. Like I said before, if they were going to let us know they added equipment it would not be in a random dev kit screenshot. People lose jobs over that sort of leak.

This is because of the NFLPA and players, not EA. The players have to go and get permission from their artists for them to be in the game.

Too early to speculate base of just one presentation page. Just want the game play fixed! I find myself skipping the presentation no matter how much they change it, it still gets bored,

I feel where you're coming from, player. But I feel like if they just got it right to broadcast, that would be innovative.

So far, Madden 12 with those nasty TV camera angles (loved it!) and 2K's football games have gotten the closest, and Madden 15 wasn't bad just below the others. But with 16 they WAY overused those on-field angles.

Over the years, I think most can agree that they don't know how to do anything without OVER-doing it, and that goes for anything they add to the game, which is why I say they come up with lots of great ideas but they never implement them right.

I've just seen the photo, here's my takeaway:

From a presentation standpoint, it looks promising. If this is the new style for player introductions, it's very dynamic, and I assume would be part of a pre-game show (those insert shots would be very strange during gameplay, which is when the current player introductions happen). That leads me to assume the pre-game show has either been renovated, or is brand new. Either of those options are good news. Even if these player introduction inserts still take place during the actual game, the style is so different it indicates new in-game presentation elements.

Basically, my takeaway is that we are getting new, perhaps very different presentation elements this year, which have been much needed since basically Madden 25.
