![]() The Bond Girl love scenes from Spectre inspire wholly unintentional laughs, further proving that this whole franchise may be the relic of a bygone era of cinematic misogyny. The supporting cast is sharper than ever as an ensemble (Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw) however, some great actresses (Stephanie Sigman, Monica Bellucci, Léa Seydoux) undermine their talents by playing ridiculously outdated "Bond Girl" caricatures - strong, smart, women who (on the turn of a sappy melodramatic dime) melt into objects of Bond's desire. Craig himself is more monotone and stone-faced than ever it's unclear whether he ever embraced this installment of Bond as an actual character in a dramatic work, or simply phoned in his best Roger Moore impression while taking it a bit easier on the stunt work and fight sequencing (editing definitely pays the deficit of Craig's physicality). ![]() Performance-wise, Spectre has probably the least going for it than any of the other "Blond Bond" films Craig has starred in. ![]() Equally mishandled is the attempt to wrangle all four of the Daniel Craig films into a larger serialized storyline: it is literally left to diagrams and exposition to tell us that all these threads are connected - but aside from seeing pics of some old baddies, the writers lean heavily on a "tell, don't show" mentality that is pretty much the antithesis of good script writing. Without dropping SPOILERS, an attempt to reformat some classic elements of the Bond franchise into a modern telling (like the SPECTRE organization) wind up falling flat on their face, arguably diluting some of the most beloved and iconic elements of the franchise. It seems that in Spectre, Logan's dramatic gravitas is wholly at odds with Wade and Purvis' more kitschy take on the character, and that mishmash creates a weird shifting tone that manages to smother any real gravitas or impact from blossoming - leaving us to simply observe events that happen onscreen, with little feeling about said actions. Narrative expectations were even higher for Oscar-nomiated writer John Logan ( Gladiator), who helped elevate Skyfall into something more powerful than the usual Bond flick. At a nearly three-hour runtime, the episodic and meandering pace begins to drag about halfway through. Like Quantum, Spectre is a tedious progression of point-to-point questing, with vague or weak objectives that keep the moment-to-moment momentum, but instantly reveal their flimsiness when examined critically. If anything, Spectre is a storytelling backslide from Skyfall, which wasn't without its own narrative issues either. Even though the pair have some of the most reviled Bond films under their collective belt ( The World Is Not Enough, Die Another Day, Quantum of Solace), one would think they'd at least learned from some of their considerable mistakes - but that doesn't seem to be the case. The script for Spectre is probably the weakest link in the chain - and inexplicably so, considering that this is the sixth Bond film for writers Robert Wade and Neal Purvis. It all feels "been there, done that" cliched, with nary a memorable sequence or moment to even justify the film as a theater-going experience, rather than a future rental. Right from an opening sequence in Mexico City, we get rough (at times incoherent) cuts of action that feel mired in the '90s - complete with shoddy editing, telegraphed stuntman maneuvers, and quick-cut edits that take the place of having to actually create smooth kinetic action onscreen (see: the car chase sequence). Indeed, Hoytema and Mendes are great at framing and sequencing stiller moments, but once the action ramps up to the expected Bond levels, the seams quickly begin to show in the filmmakers' technique. On a technical level, multi-Oscar nominated Skyfall cinematographer Roger Deakins has been replaced by Hoyte Van Hoytema - but despite having some acclaimed films on his resume ( Let the Right One In, Her, Interstellar), it's clear that Van Hoytema is taking on a new action filmmaking challenge with Spectre, and he doesn't exactly rise to that challenge.

![]() Put simply, the time it takes to huddle everyone up and call a play was not accounted for by the video game's logic or design at all. ![]() Old football games had shortened quarters because they didn't run time off the clock during CPU huddles,Īllowing CPU offenses to break the huddle with over 30 seconds on the playclock, artificially extending game length. If the human player knew their playbook and could pick plays within a few seconds (or they just kept picking the same offensive play over and over again), then the same problem would be present during the human player's offensive possessions. The game clock wouldn't run while the CPU team was picking plays, and a mere 5 seconds or so would be all that would tick off of the game clock in between the CPU's offensive plays. In the old days, a 5 or 6-minute quarter length was a practical necessity because football video games would otherwise drag out for hours. ![]() Heck some MUT modes only give you 4 minutes! At these settings, a full game of Madden takes about 20 or 30 minutes to play. Instead, Madden has traditionally defaulted to 5-minute quarters, but the length varies based on game mode. This might sound really pedantic, and I'm certain that I'm going to get a lot of pushback on this particular issue (especially from online players), but I have always been frustrated by the fact that Madden has never defaulted to using full 15-minute quarters - heck, not even half-length quarters of 7 or 8 minutes. Specifically, the length of regulation play.Įxhibition and online Madden matches default to 6-minute quarters. Let's start with the biggest failing of Madden with regard to simulating the sport of American gridiron football: its rules. Madden isn't designed for full-length football So I'm going to be directing most of my criticism towards EA's multi-million-dollar Madden series because I expect Madden to be able to do these things right. Those indie games have been getting consistently better, so there's a chance they might get more of this stuff right before Madden manages to. They just choose not to.īesides, almost everything I'm going to say in this series will likely apply to indie games as well. EA could make the definitive football video game. Bottom line is that EA has lots of money and the resources, and they have the exclusive rights to the NFL at least through 2026 (and used to have the exclusive rights to NCAA football as well). Madden, on the other hand, is developed by a corporate conglomerate with 30 years of experience making sports video games, hundreds of millions of dollars to throw around, and has a staff of hundreds of people working on it, almost a hundred of which are programmers. ![]() I've also written reviews and done video breakdowns of the successes and failures of the indie football games in 2019, but I'm not going to go into the same level of nit-picking with those, since they are from studios that are severely limited by a low budget and lack of manpower. I'm doing this because I love football, and I love football video gaming, and I want our football video games to be better - whether those games come from EA, 2K, or any other developer. So there will be some constructive criticism to go along with the complaining.īefore I begin the critique, I want to say that I'm not making this content simply to shit all over Madden or EA for the sake of shitting all over Madden or EA. Lastly, I'll even propose my own suggestions for how EA could potentially resolve the issues I'm going to bring up. If relevant, I'll even address the silly ways that EA and Tiburon have tried to cover up the problems with band-aid solutions. Then I'll dissect the ways in which modern Madden games (that is any Madden since 2008) completely fails to model that respective aspect of football. I'll start by talking about how and why something is done in real football (with an emphasis on NFL football). I'm starting up a new series of blog posts and video essays dissecting the failures of the Madden NFL video games' ability to simulate the sport of football. I will discuss how and why things are done in real football.
