Madden NFL 17 News Post


Gamesradar has posted 9 things they learned about Madden NFL 17, during their hands-on time at EA Tiburon.

Quote:
In a game as the Seahawks against the 49ers, I repeatedly find myself smiling at the antics of cornerback Richard Sherman. At various points between plays he shares helmet-to-helmet smacktalk with opponents, bumps shoulders and elbows with team mates, and leaves the field dancing around after forcing a San Fran three-and-out. But there are no obvious jump-cuts before or after these scenes – everything is stitched together naturally. And with more than 900 scriptables included this year – I even see punter Jon Ryan celebrating a kick downed on the Niners’ three-yard-line – the repetition of scenes should be significantly reduced.

I was just saying you won't find helmet jarring hits in Madden anymore like you did previously.

The NFL looks at every tackle.

The game is still licensed by the NFL and the NFL still has final say over what is and isn't in the game.

This isn't a new thing, it's been this way for years.

It's funny that 3 of the 8 things on the list weren't even things the NFL made them remove, but things that were removed on their own and then rejected upon re-addition. I wonder how many other things would still be in the game if it wasn't for scenarios like this:

Quote:
"When the last console transition happened, with the switch from PS2 to PS3 and Xbox to Xbox 360, we completely rewrote the game. In the process, we literally lost the technology that allowed the helmet to pop off," says a producer.
Quote:
"If you ran out of bounds and hit the coach, he would fall over. Same for the guys holding the first-down sticks. Eventually we changed it so they would step out of the way—but that wasn't a mandate from the league."

Exactly it's the reason why we don't see things like the ambulance coming on the field, suspensions. And probably why we see so much pink during Breast Cancer awareness month.
