So the top stories are about injuries and therefore the entire franchise mode looks bad...wow. just wow.

That sounds like the tabloid BS ESPN spoonfeeds everyone.

Here ya go from ian's Twitter 20 seconds agio:

"no highlights in the extra point..tough call but we wanted something (recaps) over nothing. They will be added in DLC, patch, or 11"

# 265 Deegeezy @ 06/02/09 09:29 PM

What other types of stories would you be looking for in a video game? Player arrests?

Ummm yea. What the heck do you think an interview is. 2K5 did it, albeit pretty poorly. I'm not too sad that the interviews aren't real, it's just there was some confusion here.

# 267 Obelysk @ 06/02/09 09:29 PM

Forget every major feature and fixes that they made for this game! If the top stories are injuries then I am not buying this game!

All people can do is bash Ian and crew work. It;s great franchise addtion. I have no problem. If you don't like it then don't by it that simple. No onr is twisting your arm to buy it. The presention looks great compared to 2k5.

If the Extra Point Show is nothing more than just a new interface to show stats, box scores, and a simple preview of upcoming games with NO highlights it won't be impressive honestly. And yes I will hate to say this, and I will get bashed for it but it needs to be said: 2k5 will still beat it. I know knives are being thrown at my head right now, but it's true. The Extra Point Show is a great idea, but you HAVE to put HIGHLIGHTS with narration of the big plays in there. Otherwise it's just a nicer fluff way of showing just a box score and a preview of next week games. Sad to say it, but some of these posters are right. We need highlights.

You know, this is an interesting point. But here's the thing...I loved NFL 2K5, and loved the Sportscenter...but after you watched the highlights again and again...we you still watching them in season 3 and 4?

I know I was, but it didn't have that same "it" factor that it did in year one.

Now, maybe on the next gen (current gen?) they can make much, more more highlights, which would lead to more replay value.

I think my thing is this...is the Extra Point Show an actual SHOW...like NFL 2K5's Sportscenter...or is it just a excellent, convenient menu system? If it's the former, where we get Fran Charles giving us (with his voice) updates on injuries, news around the league, weekly awards, free agency info, a draft preview, who's a draft sleeper, who's stock is up and down...then that's a success.

If it's the latter, then it's a great way to concentrate a large volume of info into one space, but it's an immense disappointment from what we all wanted--which was a SHOW that made it feel like the NFL league that we play in week after week, year after year, is alive and constantly changing.

Which is not really what I would like....I'm happy with what they got in there !

Nail on the head.

2k5 did it...

# 276 Jono078 @ 06/02/09 09:30 PM

Not too big of an issue for me, I prefer the discussion of big stories more so than highlights of big plays.

Still only seen about 30 seconds of it, but as far as I can tell the host will basically say welcome to XP show and then maybe run down of big stories or upcoming games and then a whole bunch of quick link to stats. I'm ok with that.

How often will you actually watch highlights of a team doing a Wild Cat or Hail Mary touchdown?

And who knows, they may even have weekly interview with players or something, where they ask a player questions? That'd be cool.

It's something new it lets you wonder about other teams you will play and who you are curious about. Way better than the news paper and radio show

After Ian and his crew had to clean up from last year crew mess. Like Ian said they will build onto this stuff into the future. Just imagian how more awsome it will look like. I am like adem. I am waiting to what madden 11 will look like next year when they build onto this. So my god just enjoy what we do have and stop been so picky all the time.

Some people just dont sit around waiting for a game thats coming two years from now..I thought I was a madden fan but you got me beat..I mean yo...there is a NEW madden coming out two months from now..and your excited about the one coming out two months from now...next year?? ok.

Nobody is asking for anything that they shouldnt expect..Its a highlight show..without highlights??..I see you on the board praising everything that ian does..and thats nice of you..but can you man up just a little bit and be realistic? for you..not for me.

edit: ok maybe for me too..because it kind of disgust me.

I guess thats what they want to here I guess. I am so surprised that this ain't been locked yet by TJ.

# 280 Cusefan @ 06/02/09 09:32 PM

Sucks you guys are mad, Personally I am pumped about what has been released. The Best part about it is I am so selfish, I could really care less about what people think as long as I like it.
