[h2]Skills Trainer in Madden NFL 16[/h2]
Posted July 7th at 1:00pm.
Returning to Madden NFL 16 is Skills Trainer, a mode that teaches players new game mechanics and basic Madden NFL skills. Madden NFL 16 builds on this foundation by bringing up the total content to more than 60 tutorials and drills, including a brand new set of tutorials.
Skills Trainer has always focused on Madden NFL fundamentals and how to improve your game. The question remained: what about the player with little experience? Or what about the player who has taken a hiatus from the series, and wants to get his/her feet wet again?
The team set out this year to build a Skills Trainer experience with those players in mind. Players entering Skills Trainer on Rookie or Pro will see an additional set of tutorials called, “Help! I am new to Madden.”
The first section of Skills Trainer goes into details about each player position on the field, and their role and responsibility.
Our team found that Skills Trainer would often ask the player to do something while referring to an on-field player position. Without this knowledge, players struggled with some of the in-game tutorials.
That is why we made a concentrated effort to give the player that base knowledge before he/she starts playing the rest of Skills Trainer.
After Player Positions, we teach how to run, pass, and play defense and special teams the same way you would teach someone learning the game of football.
Skills Trainer also allows players to learn and practice different ballcarrier moves. The more reps players get, the more comfortable it becomes with the ball in your hands.
Skills Trainer helps players learn all of the new passing, catching, and coverage mechanics revealed with Air Supremacy.
Each tutorial shows how to perform the new mechanics, when the appropriate situations are to use them, and pros and cons that go along with them.
Skills Trainer also expands on teaching real world football concepts and strategy. Drop in and learn about the best way of attacking coverages, or how to properly execute pass concepts.
The real-world section of Skills Trainer has been expanded to include a section on run concepts. A lot of Madden players call run plays without knowing what to look for in order make the play as effective as possible.
This year, we break down some of the most popular run concepts (outside zone, inside zone, power, trap, etc.), and show you where on the field you should run based on blocking, and how the defense reacts.
Hat Count is another new concept. On inside run concepts, we divide the defensive box in half and count the defenders to help determine which side to run.
Many things go into a run concept, such as direction of the run, when to flip based on how the defensive tackles are positioned, and a ton of other tips.
The fan favorite Gauntlet mode returns to Madden NFL 16. Millions have tried it, but less than 200 people have been able to complete all 40 levels.
This year, we’ve added balance by giving players extra life challenges. The levels appear at random, and allow players to earn an extra life by completing the challenge. There are also some new surprised thrown in, including ladder challenges (think Chutes and Ladders) and randomized boss levels. Do you have what it takes to conquer the Gauntlet?
Skills Trainer is the place for both new and veteran players to get better at Madden NFL 16. With the additions of new player tutorials, new mechanic tutorials, run concepts, and an updated Gauntlet, there has never been a better time to increase your Madden IQ.
[h2]Go Beyond the Broadcast with Madden NFL 16 Presentation[/h2]
Posted July 9th at 11:00am.
Written by Madden NFL 16 Presentation Director Brian Murray
Madden NFL 16 is the second year the franchise has leveraged my background as an NFL Films Cinematographer in presentation.
This year, the team wanted to continue to push the envelope and go beyond what normal broadcasts are able to do. While we respect broadcast and the way they produce NFL games, our team does not have to worry about restrictions like player and cameraman safety in the game.
ON THE FIELD CAMERAS
Like millions of other fans, watching games on TV is how I became a fan of the NFL. So, we decided to create cameras that are grounded in reality, but are also not possible in broadcast. Thus, “On the Field” cameras were born. These cameras are close in proximity to the players during their biggest moments, including touchdowns, sacks, and even as two players from opposing teams are jawing at each other.
WIRECAM
The team also pushed the envelope with a new Wirecam that sweeps and flies around just like a normal broadcast. However, Madden NFL 16’s Wirecam can track action and be right next to the QB right before the ball is snapped. With sweeping shots during a pass play or circling the QB before he gets sacked, the Wirecam has truly changed the way we view our game.
MONOLITHS
Another way Madden NFL 16 improved is in the way stats and ads are conveyed to players. The team went after Augmented UI, with the added ability to actually place these 3D structures in Madden. This way, we have our players moving around them to give a three-dimensional feel to the broadcast. We call these 3D elements our “Monoliths.”
DYNAMIC FEEDBACK
Another way we use Augmented UI is with instant stats and feedback around our players on the field. Madden players can now easily see which milestones they achieved by seeing their accomplishments in a 3D space.
This new dynamic feedback system is a big interface improvement that shows important stats without distracting players with popups.
LIVING WORLDS
Living Worlds was another major focal point for the presentation team this year. A lot of emphasis went towards improving the crowds. We added crowd props to the game, which include rally towels (in stadiums that feature them), fan signs and foam fingers.
The frequency of props showing up - and the volume at which they appear - is all based on reference from the last three NFL seasons. The crowd signs are team-specific and feature some witty quips for each team. The fans in the crowd will also head track the action on the field this year.
One of our favorite additions this year are the female fans that are now in attendance!
In Madden NFL 16, everybody in the crowd and on the sidelines wears official apparel from the NFL Shop, including jackets, long sleeves, winter hats, and other weather-appropriate gear. No more media wearing shorts and kneeling in snow this year! The sideline media are also wearing the appropriate colored media vests based on whether they work for broadcast television, NFL Films, or as a photographer.
Another big sideline feature is the Living World Steadicam operator cameraman. You will see him standing in various places around the end zone during the game, and coming out onto the field after a touchdown to get an ISO shot on the player. Players will see the cameraman moving around from broadcast cameras and sometimes see the post play action shot from his camera and vantage point.
Madden NFL 16 also includes new audio content in stadiums, with team-specific chants and fight songs popping up throughout the league.
Post-play behaviors continues to get a huge push with more signature celebrations and related content, as well as the addition of opposing team post-play interactions. There was a big focus on cleaning up behavior after the play, including pile avoidance, how players decelerate, and how/when they react with one another. The team also added new animations for when players are frustrated with whomever is on the other side of the line.
Pairing all this new content with the great work by the broadcast presentation team puts this awesome new action on screen for players to enjoy like never before.
AUDIO
All-new “Drive Starters” add more context and storytelling to our commentary this year. Drive Starters take place on each change of possession, and provide storytelling commentary and visuals to highlight key performances and game trends. With more than 200 unique story types and hundreds of commentary improvements, Drive Starters tell the story of a game like never before.
On the audio side, the team went to great lengths to ensure Madden NFL 16 is the best-sounding game in franchise history. The return of EA Trax allowed us to implement several new events to play in stadiums during games, and new IR Reverb tech gives each stadium a whole new feel.
Your game day experience has never sounded so authentic, and the team is excited for players to hear all the improvements.
All and all, the new presentation improvements on Madden NFL 16 are the most forward-thinking and fan-facing yet! We can’t wait for our players to experience the changes.
