Check out the latest Madden NFL 17 video showing off the new broadcast presentation package. A small gif is shown above, check out the full video here.
Interested to know if these will be the same intros over and over again, or if there will be some variations of them. I see 5 guys standing in the same formations over and over again getting old really fast.
At least I could easily skip through the old style. A different screen completely could be a minor annoyance. That said, I can't give them too much flack for trying a new style. Hopefully it works out well.

Agreed. Felt the same way about the QB introduction. Would be better if it highlighted the star player of the offense and defense. So there's some variety.
But I could imagine the difficulty in getting all 32 teams best offensive and/defensive player a dedicated commentary and highlight clips.
Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if Richard Sherman was pissed that Earl Thomas got the highlight introduction lmbo
Didn't Madden have a swagger award a few iterations previous like Madden 10 or 11? I think it was called Old Spice Swagger Award. I don't have a problem with that since they used it before.
The intro into the game with the highlights using actual in-game/engine footage was nice, I've always felt that added immersion over using real world video highlights, hope to see that built on. Also like the little detail of having a representation of something being on the Surface pad in decent detail, nice attention to detail there. Not understanding the player intro with them standing in groups posing on the field and whatnot, when is something like this supposed to have taken place, in pregame warmups? Furthermore if they feel the must have this invented stuff, it should be relegated to a specific game of the week, ie SNF or MNF, not every game where something this flashy will get old fast.
Interested to see how all this stuff comes together and flows in the actual game.
Yeah, see, it sort of reminds me of how MNF and/or SNF have the players heads on the lineup and they actually speak, 'Julio Jones from Alabama.' So, to me, this is something similar to that, but just a madden take on player intros. Instead of just heads speaking, they have the players standing around trying to look tough. I don't mind it.
This broadcast intro is nice, but the lineup intro is ridiculous. It's anything but real.
They also MUST get rid of the opening sequence with the team logos, and bring back the bird's eye view of the stadium.
