Madden NFL 12 Developer Video Podcast at Super Bowl Halftime, Thoughts or Ideas?

[econoodle]

Idea: After Aaron Rodgers throws for 4 TDs in the first half, and Clay has 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble, at halftime its announced that Clay and A-Rodg will be co-cover boys.

Then during the second half, on the sideline we will see Clay And Aaron wearing 'What Curse?" white headbands with the madden 12 logo on it ala Jim McMahon.

Or, more realistically, an announcement of the overall focus for 12 with news of an ALL NEW Revolutionary Franchise Mode ready to set the gaming world atwitter.

Someone said this that I thought was a great idea: Tell us some hard-core features that won't make the back of the box, but would be things that all hard-core madden fans would love to hear. Since, lets be honest, not many casual fans will tune into this podcast anyways. So, why not cater the podcast to the people who will be watching it: the hard-core crowd?

Thats a great Idea!.. And i would say that footage is a must. People tend to want to see things rather than read about them.

That's the way it's been the last few years. I don't expect that to change much. If you aren't that excited about it, wait till April-July.

how about the areas of focus for the year in regards to specific areas. Like line play improvement, passing improvements (side note: PLEASE adjust the pass arcs) franchise areas of focus that could realistically be implemented this year.

Nice job pointing that out. That's been one of my biggest beefs with Madden/NCAA.

I don't know how much longer I can take the bad arcs in either game. It ruins the realistic feel of the passing game.

I like what LBRulz said that should be scenario, or they could talk bout how they reworked ratings if that's something they did.

While I agree, I think Madden has alot of ground to make up to win some customers and confidence back, if they actually care about that. Im not saying they should show all their cards or unveil their biggest secrets, but as someone else said, dont bother doing the podcast if its just going to be stupid things like windsocks and SB logos that have no effect at all on the game.

They need to give us something to hope for going forward. I skipped Madden for the 3rd time in 4 years, and it sucks. I miss playing football, but until they give me more of a reason to buy it from year to year, Id rather save my money.

Offline Franchise needs to be updated desperately. Some info on that would be my suggestion for the podcast, as it should be the main focus this year...by far.
