EA Sports posted a new blog detailing Presentation improvements in Madden NFL 17.

Quote:


	"Madden NFL 17 on Xbox One and PlayStation�4 brings even more authenticity to Broadcast Presentation this year. From the beginning sequence of heading into game you will notice the �rock concert� feel that you see so often on real NFL Broadcasts."

And with that, we begin to learn about some of the new improvements coming to the Presentation in Madden NFL 17.

Each stadium and jumbotron has been updated to improve authenticity at each venue around the NFL.
Pylon cams are now part of the game.
New camera angles on the field.
In-game stat overlays now will be shown over replays as well as live.
Multi-Cam is a new camera angle which can target multiple players in one cut after a play concludes.
Players and the UI exist with one another in a 3D environment.
The look and behavior of coaches has been improved on the sidelines so that they look and act more lifelike.

What do you think of Madden NFL 17's presentation improvements?

Madden 16 playcalling screen Something along the line of this so I can still see the action on the field, especially during replays, or just about anytime there is something on the field. Just a quick mock-up that I did a few years ago. Just the idea of not covering up the action with playcalling screen would be great.

Unfortunately the play-calling screen hasn't changed. There are more stoppages for replays, though, which might help?

Thanks. Is there at least some type of "delay" (millisecond) to the button mash when the replay kicks in? "Button Delay" is never a good thing in a video game, but sometimes in the heat of the moment, you want to smash that "X" button, and you're like oops, I actually wanted to see that replay.

And can there be replays after each and every single play if the user wanted?

This is the issue here, EA think it knows what WE want, we dont want to push the limits of what broadcast wishes it could, an authentic broadcast presentation is what we want,

But besides the point I can honestly careless about those intros or what ever else has pushed the limits, they are nice and I'm ok with them. It's just when they said that it rubbed me the wrong way

I might be misremembering this, but I think it's a hold this year. So you hold A/X and the icon pops up in the bottom right of the screen, and it fills around in green. When it fills up all the way, it skips to the next play. Again, I could be completely misremembering this, but I'm relatively certain that's how it worked.

Nope, I was right: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...&postcount=895

It's a pretty consistent thing in their design ethos and something that is likely not going away.

And, some people do want to see the game do things TV can't do (

Just looking at the screens something still seems off with lighting and colors. Nothing really "pops" as far as colors go. Dome games do a better job of this but even in that Texans intro screen, I don't know if it's different because it's the intro cut but the colors look so dull and dark. Even in the Gronk close up his facemask almost looks like a pastel red rather than a vibrant red.

Time warps, as I refer to them, are very disjointing for me in any football video game and I feel the more areas where real time transition can be represented, the better for immersion. Also hopefully this eventually leads to personnel coming on/off the field in real time in the future, not only for the presentation effect but the strategic and realism of things like no huddle, too many men on the field, etc. My question is, in M17, how far does this real time extend? For example, someone scores a TD, at what point does real time start and end, from then until the extra point, then the extra point to the kickoff?

It's certainly not as long as TV but there is a healthy amount of time between the two. Keep this question in mind over the next couple of days.

An example of what I mean

What about simply having two or three options

? Replicate real tv broadcast angles, then extrapolate for Madden TV style broadcast.

Presentation:
(A) Madden TV
(B) NFL TV Broadcast
(C) Hybrid (Madden/Broadcast)

Oh yes, is there an option for replays to be present after each and every single play, for both offensive and defensive highlights, or even non-exciting plays?

The one thing i really hope they make realistic is the weather!!!!Like when you're playing franchise or play now& you're playing the Packers the only way it can be cold it's snowing...they need to do like NCAA use to be and let you control the temperature & heavy snow or light snow,as well as the rain or a scorching hot day in Miami !!!!!And take a page out of Mlb the show's book......how a day in september in Chicago is totally different than a day Oakland!!!!

# 93 BusterHeimen @ 06/08/16 05:32 PM

I just hope they fixed the animation of pylon's falling down. It looks like it's direct code from Madden 98.

# 94 Cowboy008 @ 06/08/16 05:35 PM

I like what I read but I'm hoping there are more blogs to come on presentation. Also am hoping since they focused on the coaches that we will get decent looking created coaches in CFM.

Can we at least get the created ones some headsets?

# 96 Cowboy008 @ 06/08/16 06:17 PM

The latest tweet by Rex makes me think that's it for the presentation blogs.

It hasn't been something that I've complained about, but the created coaches options have been very, very poor.

Thank you!!!! I've been telling people that for years.

Sounds good!

I noticed in the commentary video too that the updates to Miami's stadium are in as well.
