EA Sports Reveals Madden NFL 13 Playbook 3 - Audio
May 14, in the year of our Lord 2012 – EA
SPORTS has announced the third feature playbook for Madden NFL
13, “Audio”, is now available on the Madden NFL 13 Playbook
page. The Audio playbook details the various new features and
enhancements related to commentary, ambient sound effects and
the soundtrack itself, all of which make Madden NFL 13 feel even
more like an actual NFL broadcast. The chemistry and familiarity
of new commentators, CBS Sports’ own Jim Nantz and Phil Simms,
allows them to naturally tell the story of every game, closely
replicating what fans would expect to see on Sunday. The unique
partnership between NFL Films and the Madden NFL franchise
allows users to experience genuine QB cadences, authentic sound
effects and actual on-field player chatter. In addition, a
brand-new, fully-scored orchestral theme conveys the emotion and
excitement of football, providing fans and gamers alike the
closest experience possible to attending an NFL game without
actually buying a ticket.
New Commentary from Jim Nantz and Phil Simms
Madden NFL 13 introduces the new commentary team of Jim Nantz
and Phil Simms, the award-winning broadcast duo who have worked
together since 2004 as the top team of the NFL on CBS. In order
to create the most authentic broadcast experience possible,
Nantz and Simms recorded many of their sessions together,
working off one another and improvising lines just like they
would at an actual NFL game. The pair spent over 82 hours in the
recording studio, resulting in over 9,000 unique lines of dialog
included in Madden NFL 13.
Genuine Sound from NFL Films
Madden NFL 13 and NFL Films have come together to create the
most dynamic audio yet for the franchise. This partnership has
led to numerous audio enhancements in Madden NFL 13, including a
new, raucous 24 track stadium crowd, on-field player chatter and
authentic cadences from top NFL quarterbacks like Tom Brady,
Aaron Rodgers, Cam Newton and Ben Roethlisberger, which further
blurs the line between playing a video game and watching an NFL
broadcast.
The All-New Madden NFL Theme
The Madden NFL 13 team worked closely with composer Colin
O’Malley to create an iconic, memorable theme for the game. This
new score conveys the excitement and emotion of the NFL, while
adding a distinct flavor that makes it unique to the Madden NFL
franchise. It’s yet another way EA SPORTS is bringing the
broadcast experience to gaming consoles.
