ESPN intergration this year?

[CLEAR17]

The ESPN lincense to EA is talked about all the time when EA releases a game that doesn't use ESPN at all (Other than . little logo). I hope this year is different basically because this new Madden Creation team seems to be working harder on this Madden. What do you expect from EA this year with ESPN use?

Also it'd be great in franchise mode that week 12 til the draft to have Kiper's and Todd Mcshay's big board and Mock. This should be part of an ESPN feature.

Ian already stated that its not gonna happen. I wish they would utilize it also. NFL network, ESPN, and EA presentation should be implemented, just use different presentations for different game so that no one feels slighted.

They won't use ESPN, but they should make up their own "EA Sports Network".

Although, Head coach makes use of NFL Network and Adam Scheftler

I honestly dont care if they integrate ESPN, but they certainly need to do something to where it feels more genuine.

I know its a game, but part of the immersion is like we are actually watching the game on TV. Everything about EA's current presentation is generic and poorly done. Announcing is robotic and sounds extremely scripted. Obviously, it IS scripted, but does it really need to sound that way? At least 2k5 sounded like announcers actually do during the game. There were a few cases of repeated dialogue and cheesy commentating, but it wasnt nearly on the level as Madden has been in. Last year was a step in the right direction, but it still has a ways to go.

I agree with xanmank. EA Sports Network, or something like that, should be implemented, and it should mirror alot of what ESPN gives us. Pre and post game coverage, in game coverage, interviews, game ticker, non-annoying scoreboard, player stats and info during the game...you know how it is.

Sorry, didnt mean to turn this into another presentation thing, but its along those lines.

Me to, I don't care if they use ESPN either,..they just need to incorporate some kind of TV Network presentation format to the game.

I care if they dont use it, they should give it up if they dont use it imo.

But they should make something like All Pro did.

Well they are not gonna give it up because that would make zero business sense.

And they will not integrate into the gameplay b/c of other issues.it sucks but hopefully they will figure out a good way to use it.
