They also need to round off the flow of sentence structure. It's too robotic.
Again, I understand that this is not the main focus of the game, so we're not going to see the first iteration all polished and perfected. I do hope they keep at it.

This was a nice start for EA...but 2K5's halftime show obliterates this by a mile! I still think Madden 10 will be a great game in the gameplay department...but this halftime show seems a little stilted in the delivery. There was no commentary on Mannings interception in the endzone or any of the halves big plays. IDK
I know people are tired of saying NEXT year, but this is something I felt should have been nailed the first time through. And it would not kill EA to give the commentary especially of the highlights more life, if you will. It just seems very stale...even though the music is GREAT and FITTING...we need that commentary and it has to be excited like the PA Announcer guy from MAdden 08! Or charismatic like Berman in 2K4 & 2K5....oh well, we will see.
*for now NFL 2K5 stays in my tray even after I buy Madden 10'. Good work though Ian and Co.

Man come on people... if they didn't do anything you guys would be complaining and now that they made a good effort considering everything else they did to the game this year people still bash them. IMO the interface is much better and I also like that they are using real people. So while 2k5's halftime show does things better than madden 10's, madden 10's halftime show does things better than 2k5's imo. Also, many people wanted the Tony Bruno Radio show back and I'm pretty sure that we can all agree that the madden 10 extra point show is way better than that.
Also, I'm pretty sure we can all agree that the madden 10 half-time/extra point show is better than the shows in sports games like NBA 2k9, and MLB 09. Like don't get me wrong, there's problems with the madden 10 shows, but I honestly can't complain much.

I don't think its fair to call the Phil/Ian and their crew lazy or view any portion of Madden '10 as half assed given where this series was a year ago compared to where it is this year.
Yes, there are plenty of more things that the Madden series needs to tweak/implement/and focus on, but that shouldn't take away from the strides that this series made in a year. Its my opinion, and many others from reading various boards/previews, that the comparison from '09 & '10 is night and day.
And we can talk about how long it took to get here until we're blue in the face. The bottom line is that we are here now. What's the ol'saying, better late than never?

Something that I don't like...
Alex says "Now lets check the highlights from your game". Shouldn't it be "the game"?. Like, isn't this presentation delivered as if it's real and not in a video game? Don't get me wrong, like I said a good number of times in this thread before, I like the new presentation a lot but when you add stuff like this, you shouldn't have commentary telling the user "This is what happened in your game". It's just pretty tacky (for the lack of a better word).

I think it looks good for it's first year in madden 10. I am sure Ian and Phil will spend alot more time on it this year to make it even more real fun for madden 11. But been it's first year in I am loving it so much. Can't wait.

i could list many things that make it into the final release of this game, that just make me shake my head and wonder how in the world Ian sees this stuff, and thinks it looks or sounds right to him.

Actually, I can remember times when J.B. specifically references "your game" at halftime or commenting on "your game" after highlights.
A lot of people don't realize this, but halftime shows are shot 2 to 3, sometimes 4 times during each game slot. They do the same highlight package and then follow it up with commentary for your specific game you are watching.

like the changes they r making with madden yall can sit here and say bad things about it and have nfl 2k5v.s madden 10 thats stupied they dont make games anymore madden does yall all talk but yet we buy madden year after year lets try 2 make this year the best yet this year is about fight for every yard so lets make the runing game and gameplay smoother the runs always seem to move slow and choppy get reaL with the game if you have a big back they move slower if their small make it that way if they can do a little bit of bit add that just a thought the halftime is good but add to it more like locker room vistes around the league action dont just a screen talking to you show what really happen at half get the gamer involed as for offseason please add this if a player want a new deal with his team have him fight to stay out of camp untill he get the deal hes looking deal or trade him where he happy or if a players a problem on/off the field make them pay for it buy sitting them out a few games depending on what they do when its time to draft have the staff go over the team needs and what will the best pick moving forward if a team has a bad season put the coach on the hot seat and job on the line players get mad over a bad call coach talks bad to ref leaving the other coachs to coach the rest of the game just a few thoughts please consider this for madden 10 it would help the sells for this year and give the fans football at the touch of their hands....

I will just stay on topic and say that a lot of those suggestions should not be focused on until the core gameplay problems are fixed. Things like goofy AI and animations are game killers in my opinion. Those are the key elements necessary for everything else to make sense. I hope offseason player antics don't get put in the game before these big parts.
what they should do is have a sub team of devs knock out the presentation and haltime show 100%. just do it right and finish it "This Year" for once.
this could of been done.

Well, from where I sit it looks like EA has finally gotten close to where we think the game needs to be presentation-wise. While the new halftime show and weekly recap still aren't in the same league as 2K5, it's good enough for now. I'm impressed by the effort, and more importantly I think the weekly recap will be something I look forward to. Can't remember the last Madden feature I could say that about.
As others have said, though, the writing is terrible. Awful. The woman speaking at halftime says "Here are highlights from your game." No, sweetie, it's not my game, it's a game between the Steelers and Bears. Telling me it's my game simply reminds me I'm playing a video game. The presentation should be set up so that we feel like we're watching a real NFL game. And the transitions between sentences are really rough. Reminds me of that old SNL skit during the first Gulf War where celebrities held a welcome home ceremony for each soldier, and when showing a video of President Bush thanking the honoree they spliced in obviously canned footage of him saying the soldier's name. Hilarious. Hope they get that smoothed out next year.
OK, enough of that rant. I'm buying this game mainly because of online franchise. The Extra Point is a bonus.

Hey...At least it appears they may have gotten rid of Hammonds' awkward halftime transition comment of "now it's time for a brief halftime break."

Watch the first 20 seconds.
Instead of this:
Which, although is not perfect, it is an actual halftime show which can be built upon even more for next year instead of them just waiting to introduce it for Madden 11. I'm not trying to defend Madden or the Madden team, but I don't find the halftime show a sign of laziness. I'm sure everything has to be made within a certain time, and judging by all of the improvements, it seems as if the Madden team implemented a ton of stuff this year, that didn't seem realistically possible. I never truly thought that Madden would have what it has now, because next-gen Maddens so far has catered to tourney-style or casual gamers rather than SIM gamers.
