Madden with Kinect was an amazing feature that most of you didn't get to experience.
What was so special about it if you didn't have an Xbox?

So you can make any change you want at the line of scrimmage right. But not enough time
Especially if the offense makes a quick audible, you don't really have time in real time to adjust

In real life, they see something then they verbally communicate with each other to get the defense in position.
Its impossible to replicate that on a controller on the fly. But with Kinect you could verbally call audibles in split seconds
And it made the game more strategic. More control over what goes on in the field. That's a good thing.
But since it was ONLY AVAILABLE on XBOX, nikkaz hated and acted like it wasn't that big of a deal.

And that's why we have less control now, cuz of politics. The Sony camera could have done the same things, just probably doesn't pick up sound as good and maybe the results were less accurate? Or Xbox wanted it exclusive at the time? Doubt EA would oblige making it exclusive tho. IDK, TBC. I hope they bring that feature back someday.

I know a lot of people here have nostalgia for it because it fell during their teenage years but most of that gen was so garbage :mjlol:

fukking brown everywhere, everything being a cover shooter, developers not used to HD so in some games you needed a fukking telescope to read the menus and HUD, japanese developers and publishers shytting the bed (except for Capgoat), the insane amount of bullshots like in the OP.

It got better towards the end but goddamn.
