New Commentary Update Available Now For Madden NFL 17, Lets Us Know What You're Hearing

[bears1387]

I heard them talk about results to games and injuries that happened in last week's preseason games. GREAT WORK!!

Updating commentary is a good idea. Help keeps the game from becoming stale.

Only gripe I have right now is the bills stadium is still being called Ralph Wilson stadium. Even though it's now called new era field. But I'm assuming that's a licensing issue more than anything.

The only thing that looks to have improved is by using the Frostbite engine, the player models look less like waxwork figures than they used to.

Wha-wha-wha-what??!! Lol. Jk. But, seriously, wow, yeah, idk. Definitely to each his own. But, while the gameplay mechanics may not have changed much over the years in FIFA (because they don't really need to, u have ball skill moves, sprint, kick ball, I mean, it's soccer, that's what's great about the sport, it's simple, round ball, kick it through the goal posts), the gameplay itself has been consistently tightened up over the years. And, yeah, I disagree on 'floaty' ball physics. I think it was FIFA 16 that really modified the ball physics down to changing the spin on the ball as it hits different targets. I mean, that stuff looks spectacular to me (especially, in slow motion, but even in real time, u notice it). That game, overall, just plays so smooth (if there is no lag, lol). I tried playing PES once or twice, and while I saw some pros, it just didn't play that well (maybe, it is more 'realistic', although I won't say that until I play more, which I prob won't cause I love FIFA. Lol). And, while some people online may play a more arcade style of football, I play a more realistic style, personally. I like to go outside on the wing and bang in crosses. I use special moves from time to time. I break me down inside, sometimes. The midfield play can be back n forth sometimes. When I watch soccer on the weekends, I often see things that I do in FIFA, so, for me, I think it's plenty realistic. But, it is a vid game, so u get those arcade moments and wicked strikes. But, honestly, I don't think I've seen much in that game that I would outright call 'arcade'. And, the players are extremely different from one another. Playing with Diego Costa is different from Rooney who's different from messi who's different from Ronaldo. So, idk, agree to disagree for sure. Lol. I love FIFA for online h2h, that's all I play. In madden, the online community is so cheesy, I can't even do it. So, for me, that's huge, too. And, I'm not amazing, I've got a non-losing overall record, but that game just plays so well.

Do you have any idea how many online matchups are played each week? That is why they have weekly commentary updates.

My grandmother used to say people would b**** if you hung them with a new rope.

Was playing a Play Now game as the Seahawks vs the Dolphins. Was on offense during the first part of the game and all of a sudden they make a comment on how Russell Wilson had four sacks in the second week of the preseason.

In last week's game, the Seattle O-line couldn't block anyone against the Vikings. Seattle QBs were sacked 8 times with Russell getting 4 of those.

This is going to be great!!!

That game has been fantastic for years, and it keeps getting better and more realistic! I've been playing the FIFA 17 beta, and HOLY SH-T!!! They gave infinity engine to madden, because they were ahead of their time and certainly ahead of madden. Now, they're the first ea sports game to use frostbite, and let me tell u, the player models look AMAZING! The wrinkles on players' jerseys actually MOVE!! Lol. Anyways, I'm a fan of madden (Rex's madden team) AND FIFA. But, when I first started playing FIFA around 10 years ago, I was amazed at how much more realistic the game was to soccer compared to madden to football. The gameplay and ball physics in FIFA are now truly amazing. So, I don't think FIFA devs are 'lazy'. Lol. They just created the 'story mode' thing, too. I'm not sure what their franchise looks like, cause I only play h2h FIFA. But, anyways, that game and their dev team has always been innovative. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The single player experience in FIFA is a disaster. It's shallower than snookie from jersey shore.

Is the online and player to player good? Sure. But they've basically abandoned an entire mode.

Ahh, right on, man. Yeah, again, I ONLY play h2h FIFA, so I don't even look at managing a team or anything. I just want tight game control and graphics/animations, and for me, FIFA delivers that.
