Pregame, Halftime, and Postgame Shows
Hello, my name is Davion Greene and I have been a loyal gamer of the Madden franchise for 2 decades. Madden NFL games have seen many great things added into their versions for a long time, but one of the biggest and most noticeable misses out of these games has been an NFL pregame and post-game show. I think this is an exciting game feature that could be the highlight and selling point for future Madden installments. The pregame shows before a football game are always an exciting thing to watch because you get to hear injury updates, playoff-clinching scenarios, Superbowl predictions, biggest disappointments, biggest surprises, trade rumors, head coaches who are on the hot seat, and detailed insights of each game that is scheduled to be played every week. In addition, I would like to see the post-game shows being added after the gamer has ended their game, and in this post-game show, we should be able to witness a recap of our own game and the rest of the games that have already been played as well. The post-game shows should also provide the user with injury updates to major players who may have gotten hurt during any of the games, game-changing plays that may have happened during any of the games, and post-game interviews for players/coaches. As for the show's commentary team, Madden should consider having a variety of different analysts and former players/coaches who reflect the current options that we see on tv every week. Options such as Tony Dungy, Michael Strahan, Michael Irvin, Kurt Warner, Jimmy Johnson, Sean Payton, Tony Gonzalez, Nate Burleson, Jay Glazer, Rex Ryan, Randy Moss, Tim Hasselback, Keyshawn Johnson, Mina Kimes, Dan Orlovsky, Louis Riddick, Steve Young, and Howie Long should all be included and seen sitting at a round table amongst themselves discussing the games each and every week. To make seem more real and authentic, you can diversify the cast and switch them up week to week so the commentary wouldn't sound the same and get boring. The shows should have real conversations and provide believably content based on how your team plays and how the rest of the NFL teams play during each season. The commentary needs to reflect the changes that are made throughout both the regular season, post-season, and Super Bowl weekend. I think this feature would be a huge hit amongst the Madden community because it would provide each regular season and post-season in the Franchise Mode with the importance and diversity that it so desperately needs. Please Madden creators, remove Jonathon Coachman from the game and include the real analysts and Hall of Fame players/coaches who we are used to seeing and hearing during the NFL season.
