They don't build on their presentation enhancements. The great camera work from madden 12 was basically abolished the next year. The team specific intros from 10-11 are all gone. They lack variety in the presentation... and they lack it big time. Nothing is truly real time and immersive. integrated playmaker cameras and 'innovative on-the-field cameras bringing you closer to the game than ever before...' doesn't sound like they are truly trying to replicate real NFL broadcasts. 'Welcome to madden.. brought to you by ea sports.. here on the ea sports network.' (what kind of immersion is that? we already bought the game.. i don't need to hear ea sports or see ea sports on any graphics during a game.)

Not to mention there are still no in game highlights from games around the league like that other football game the came out 10+ years ago on the PS2 smh. Hopefully they will surprise us & step it up this year in the presentation department (including improved Living Worlds)

This is false. No title in the history of football video games - including the game you are referring to - has featured in-game out-of-town video highlights. (weekly review highlights is a different story and explicitly not what I'm referring to here)

I don't anticipate in-game out-of-town highlights in Madden anytime soon either on account of the premium games place on graphical fidelity these days. During a weekly review show? Not outside of the realm of possibility, but I'm not betting on that either to be honest.

Give me something better to beta test...errr...pre-order the game. Old stadiums or something. Tired of UT stuff. I have no intentions of ever playing online v randoms. I need something better or that $40 price point in late-September is looking better.

yeah I agree. No reason to show highlights of other games when they cant even do a proper replay of the game you are playing.
How long will it take them to realize that we like to see replays in the broadcast angle? you know... the way they show them in real life? I am truly baffled by their presentation decisions

They do more than just take advice from FIFA Team, they take their tech and they have been since at least 2009. It's one of the main reasons RTP is in the game; it started in FIFA. Although I wish Infinity weren't in Madden; it never should've been introduced until they straightened out their core animation issues (which are plentiful and long-standing at a decade+). Jamming Infinity over a mess of an animation system was a big mistake (and a rather ridiculous one considering how poor their core animation system is on a number of levels), and I bet a lot of IE's issues stem from contending with that foundation of ducktape and chicken wire code they carried over from last gen.

It's hard to ride in style when your tires are flat.

Mmmmmm, I seem to recall either John Madden Football or Madden '92 on Genesis showing highlights from other games at halftime.

If so - that's about a year or two before my time, I stand corrected, and I appreciate the correction.

Certainly no games in any console generation following the Genesis / SNES era have included such, however, and as such I continue to not really expect the feature to appear in Madden NFL anytime soon.

Really hope team up is in this madden
