Kinda funny how Alex mentioned stats and highlights, even though there are no highlights.

That said, the franchise show is actually kinda cool. Just missing highlights. I wonder if they at least had the opportunity to use gamepics as an alternative, and if they did why they didn't do it.

Not bad for a first try, the writing is still an issue though. I don't really get the necessity to write-in that they're from the NFL Network. That fact is irrelevant, and if you're trying to make your own show believeable you wouldn't be saying anything about another network. It's just another one of those subtle little things that the writers don't seem to have any understanding of. Unless the NFL Network forced them to include it, I can't otherwise see the rationale.

Dang, Marques Colston beastin' it up week 1, 134 yds and 4 TD's. I wonder how many TD's Drew Brees had. jk. Yea, looked like the user skipped like the whole thing.

the only thing they need are voice overs during the replays. and not by hammond and collinsworth. we get enough (read: too much) of those guys during the actual game.

I sure hope that that was a flukey example of a Player of the Week. That's a monster performance.

Dumb, nitpick but I wonder if Alex will wear different stuff.

I don't think so. The play and the half had just ended on the whistle. The game isn't set up (nor should it be) to read the score before the half even ends.

Unfortunately, what we just witnessed is a mistake that's gone unfixed and probably because no one noticed it was a mistake... and that in and of itself is a problem. I'm hoping very much that they get some actual writing talent in there at some point, and some new (better) guys recording, editing and overseeing this aspect. It's really a shame to see something with so much potential be screwed up because of something so minor.

looks boring compared to NFL 2K5

Nice Video!! the Extra Point was better than I had expected, it being the first year put in. It will very fun to see this improve in future games. Not a fan, howeber, of the fake ad of "Quickie Burgers" admist REAL companies like Sprint...(I may have missed something as far as it being in the franchise hub, I know fake ads have been on the field for years)

What gets me the most........people said it looked all plain and un-interesting from the little peaks that we got shown at E3.

Then we get this.......which is "much" better than plain and un-interesting.........and "STILL" people dont have anything
good to say .......un-be-frickin-lievable !
 
# 29 TheWatcher @ 07/20/09 08:55 PM
And no offense to Alex, I'm sure she's a nice lady... but how'd NCAA get a hot Erin Andrews and we got Alex (not exactly hot) Flanagan...? I'd much rather be seeing Erin all franchise long than Alex. I'm just say'in.

Im pretty sure the user was skipping alot. It's looking much better than the E3 vids for sure though. Cant wait for this damn game.

Hopefully they sorted out the "dumb highlight logic" where they would show a 1 yd insignificant run or where they have all the highlights out of chronological order.

I think those "dumb" highlights are actually meant to highlight the defense however the caption recognizes the offense instead. Small mistake but noticeable.

Those 1 yard runs ended up being highlights due to the user super simming the game.

thats right. I forgot there was a discussion about that a while ago when they first showed the E3 vids. Looking very good for the future.

Alright I see. After watching it again, the whistle does blow and he goes right into it. Could it be the user skipping out of the cutscenes and going straight into the halftime show? IIRC, in the E3 vids they showed the score of the game (with the graphic covering a large portion of the screen) before going into the halftime show.

I have to admit, I was very quick to judge a book by its cover when I first started seeing some of these presentation elements, after seeing some of this stuff in depth i am impressed.

The halftime show is good to go in my book. I was up in arms when i realized they didnt have announcing over top the highlights but its good enough the way it is.

I can see it, they add highlights and more announcing next year, they will have something very special on their hands.

I dont think I have been fair with these guys as im very harsh when criticizing the devs. I like what I am seeing and especially after playing NCAA, I feel lucky to get what we are getting.

I hope so, but in 09 for example this happened regularly even if you didn't press anything.

Have you seen Road to glory? I don't think she's hot at all. Dog face and toothpick legs.

I kinda like the presentation...much more than last year, and hopefully much less than next year.

p.s. Yep, the sportscasters are pretty lifeless. Either the writing has to get better, or the voice inflections have to get better.

Anyone notice the Monday Night banner at the beginning of the Halftime video?

Nice little touch.
