Oh my lord... that was awful.
The audio in this game is absolutely atrocious. There is just no way around it. The camera angles for the replays are beautiful and so are the overlays, but the audio? Awful. There wasn't even anything being said while the highlights played.
Tom's line to go to halftime: "Let's send you to the studio for this brief halftime break"?
WHAT??? Seriously? "Brief halftime break"? Guys, you need some help with that writing and quickly. It's getting worse every year. Since when has halftime been brief? And since when has a commentator said that? The answer to both: NEVER.
... and worse, he never even called up the score before going to the half! That's Broadcasting 101! Oh... my... lord, lol. I cannot believe this. I'm stunned.
How can such poor writing and poor audio work continue to be churned out like this every year? It's not even debatable; the people working on audio are simply not doing a good job. It doesn't even sound professional. It's time to make some changes.

and a little OCD complaint
"Jay Cutler just threw his 2nd interception for the day."
Even ignoring the engrish, what sort of stat overlay is that? Stat overlays don't narrate game action.

Wow... This is embarrassing. I started feeling awkward just watching this at home. I think they wasted their time on this feature, although I don't know how much time that could have possibly been. Most people will end up skipping this every game because it is not at all interesting or resembling a real halftime show. Unless they fix this its nothing more than wasted space

It's just that I read other posts by other people in here that were ridiculous and then when reading yours it was kinda set up in a similar way to theirs but yeah you weren't. Sorry for saying that.

But yeah, if the halftime show is like this in the final game, that would be disappointing but either way, they have done so much to the game in just one year, I will give them slack for some things if they don't end up being as good as I thought they would be.

Will everybody chillout...all this negativity. We gonna feel salty if they decide the fans do not like it..because i know as fast as they created the halftime show, they can remove it. Then we'll have nothing. Yall buggin over a non finished product. Some of yall think they been trying to get the halftime show together for E3. No Im pretty sure they concentrated on gameplay for the convention. So everybody need to FALLBACK. Ian got this.

IRL, the graphics guys would not even have enough time to get that set up so quickly.
That's a half time show? C'mon. I'll never waste my time watching that show. That's click through footage only there.
For a show, you need to have someone presenting it, breaking down the game, talking about the highlights and what the teams need to do in the second half.

Better to have nothing if that's going to be it and add more to the game itself in other ways.

I totally agree with you man. It is utterly ridiculous. While the replays are playing, someone has to say SOMETHING. No one looks at "highlights" with absolutely no audio. That was horrendous at best. It's basically the same as last year except it's done within the context of a "show."
Am I the only one that was a little irked by Hammonds' statement: "And now for this brief halftime break?"
That kind of kills the immersion of realism. They need a better writer.
"We've reached halftime with the score, Seahawks 20 Broncos 7....We now send you back to our studio for the break"
