I'm not a fan of player roles because that should be reflected in ratings...what does BCV actually do anyway? Seriously. I just notice with low BCV RB's that the o-line just doesn't open holes...

Well as far as roles...it gives expectations that affect performance and can affect the team...makes franchise more realistic, and adds personality on top of other things

Just for the record, there is one I've only seen one person get right, and one nobody has gotten right.

Adembroski said earlier in a different thread that only one person has gotten the FG kicking hint right.So sounds like only one person has still gotten it right.

I think the FG box is showing dynamic attendance. I may be wrong but it looks like when the Packers fg goes through the seats are full. When the Miami FG goes up it looks like alot of seats are open. It happens quick so I could be completely wrong, but thats my shot at it.

Wow, that's interesting. I would like to buy a hint!! Haha. Which video?

I would have preferred them being much bigger, obviously, but a good start I guess. I just hope they don't perfect the team entrances and never work on the fundamentals of football: tackling and oline / dline interaction. Custom Playbooks should be interesting, especially if I can download someone else's, but not a huge selling feature IMO. I like player tendencies a lot, and I hope every player acts like they do in real life, and same with teams in general.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with hot and cold streaks...Not sure what player role would have a snowflake and it look to me like a flame.

Gaither, I thought the same thing re: player roles. Hopefully we are right!

It sounds to me like we are not right, or at least about what I thought was a player role. From what AJ said, I doubt I am the person that got the one thing right.

So even if Player roles are in the game, that must not be an indication of it. Also, it must not mean that the hot and cold is right either.

It's the one of the field goal. Don't know who's gotten it right though.

I don't see what else it could mean. You would think it would have to be some variation of a hot or cold streak. Maybe it means they like cold weather.

I think the field goal is showing a much more intense or pressure type of FG. It looks like the D gets through very fast. Which is very realistic.

# 231 PGaither84 @ 03/22/11 10:37 PM

I don't either, but inferring from what AJ said, it appears that the kicking thing is all we have gotten right so far.

I'm sure the hotstreak thing is real, it just might be a part of dynamic progression not roles.

Based on what is said here, I think we as a group have gotten right (Custom Playbooks, Team Entrances), one that no one has gotten right, and one which one person got right....

That was re: the FG cam not cutting away right before it goes through the uprights I think.

Hey gents, I wrote a blog on the teaser here: http://www.operationsports.com/MMChr...-presentation/

ALSO, check out a huge screenshot of the teaser at the end here:

The snowflake means he has a tendency to play well in the snow!! :P Haha, I have no idea. Maybe the field goal, is a new fake field goal. I really think it's a pressure kick though.

I looked and the thing that pops up or at least the only thing i see is Gameplanning and its attached to the Tease below. But I of course hope youre right. Whatever has been stopping Madden from looking good is beyond me.

Theres a difference between the weapons icons i.e smart player the light bulb icon AND player roles. Player roles give players personality and does not make them better players. If you hadnt played Maddens 06 thru 08 on ps2 maybe you arent familiar with them but they gave huge depth to Franchise mode. Players on the trade block would get mad Players would hold out. They would tell you when they were playing an old team of theirs and how they wanted to play hard against them. Great stuff.

Nothing that really caught my attention. Quiet honestly was disappointed in the video, but maybe that is just me. I have been the biggest supporter of Madden since they have started, but I think its time they start looking into the MLB 2011 The Show play-book for presentation. I love the NFL, but am sick of the Ultimate Team and the gimmick themes that get thrown at us to make money or attract attention each year . Make it true life football and maybe instead of voting on the cover athlete, which no one really cares about, let us start voting in early February on features and ideas to add to the game. No one cares about the cover athlete....think about all the custom cover out there. It about whats on the disk not what covers the disk...I just beg to stop with the gimmicks...and it hurts me to say all this because I was the strongest backer of EA and Madden but I am sick of the gimmicks...break down and take a page out of MLB The Show and make this the ultimate football experience...not some gimmick called "ultimate team," start with the making the perfect game on the field before you start adding things like this.

Note: This is just my personal opinion at this point in development, EA may surprise me, but I am getting sick of the $60.00 for a new gimmick or two. This is the first year EA is going to have to sell me the game, instead of me just buying based on only NFL game and the name.

I understand you are frustrated. First, Ian wrote to the developers of The Show a few years ago in the their forum here and said they knocked it out of the park with presentation.

Second, I'm not seeing the gimmicks in the teaser. It appears to be TV Style Presentation, which is a step in the right direction, custom playbooks and franchise mode stuff.

I just didn't get the same feeling as gimmicky as you did.

Ah, ok, MUT is gimmicky to you. I don't play or pay MUT, but others do. It's a profitable mode for EA, so, they aren't going to get rid of it.
