That looked great.
The ticker isnt too big and doesnt take away from the game, but it adds immersion. I also like the studio update.
I showed my mom this and she thought it was a real game.
I also like how the kickoff teams stayed in their lanes
Wow that was fantastic! Say what you will about gameplay, but that presentation was off the chain! I'm so glad they switched the pregame warm ups and team run outs, it looks so much more fluid for a pregame routine.
Crowd sounds a million times better on that kickoff return.
And they weren't dead during pre-game either. The pre-game actually has some flow now going from the studio/warm-ups, then a live shot from the stadium, and then the team taking the field.
For next year they need to tighten up Rece's audio bigtime. Also, I wish they would remove the "and that does it for us here in the studio," it sounds abrupt. I think instead Rece should set the stage and then we should cut right to the graphics, then Brad.
I'm enjoying the new ticker at the bottom, but the intro had me wanting to mash "X" and skip through it. I'm disappointed they showed one kick-off in a video that was titled "RAW Gameplay". That's hardly a showing of gameplay. The cut-to-studio moment is nice. It's a quality addition; not just another bell or whistle. Now how does the game play ON the field?
I skip through all the pre-game stuff now. I'll do the same with this stuff too. Sure it looks great- but it's fluff. The time and effort put into this kind of thing could go into CPU playcalling, CPU roster management, or speeding up the sluggish menus....
