Madden NFL 10 Video: Halftime Report (Chase @ E3)

[joejccva71]

Will someone that has Twitter please ask Ian why the halftime show seems really bland as there is no commentary following the plays in the highlights?

Please ask him if he has any plans on adding it, because it looks really bad right now without any narration/commentary.

Also, like someone else mentioned, those aren't even highlights! Who wants to watch a 1 yard run by a QB? If you're going to call it a highlight, at least show HIGHLIGHTS.

And to the guys on the Madden team, you want us to be honest...This is by no means even close to being 2k5...not by a long shot yet.

I don't understand these baby steps at all. 2k5 came out of nowhere with their halftime shows and weekly wrap up.

I thought it was just fine. I do not want some super huge long halftime show. I want to get back to the game.

The lack of commentary definitely made the halftime show bland at best. But I'm not going to have a fit over it. Funny how folks are letting just the underwhelming halftime show color the whole presentation upgrade bad ("This stinks, I'm pissed, etc").

This video was posted on OS earlier today, and I commented on it earlier in this thread. Now, before I comment again, don't get me wrong... I loved NFL 2K5. But let's not pretend that their halftime report was without issues. There are some terribly awkward moments in Berman's commentary. It is blatantly obvious where different things he recorded are pasted together.

And as I mentioned earlier, EA can't even get Hammonds's play-by-play right. They need to nail that down before they add more commentary to the halftime report, especially since even 2K5 had issues with this aspect.

I think you are wrong on that one.

Exactly.

I applaud EA for the effort but without question this needs a ton of work. It's better than nothing I guess but it's almost so bad that it isn't worth it.

I didn't think it'd be much, but that was even worse than I envisioned. Very awkward. PLEASE don't put the robotic movement to NFL Films music. Please. It's already bad enough it plays during replays (or used to at least)

also... 2K5 was five years and a console generation ago. It's no where close to being a fair comparison anymore
