Well, EA Sports, as they do every year, is beginning their Madden NFL Blitz on the NFL Draft Day, but this year, it’s not just about the newly drafted rookies: it’s about the next generation of systems too.
They will be debuting a 60-second commercial with footage from the next-generation version of the game, it will be the first time anywhere that images will be available of graphics from this next line of systems.
What are they doing to make it even more of a big deal? Well, pay attention, it will only air once between 12 PM and 1 PM on ESPN, the first hour of their NFL Draft coverage when the top picks are made (and NO, the Bengals don’t pick there this year!), and when viewership is highest. I would imagine the commercial will be in High Definition where ESPN HD is on, and shoudl you have the service.
Hopefully someone will capture the commercial for the highest quality. It’ll be on the net too after air, so that link will be here and a mocap link should it arrive.
Jump over to the forum, I’ll post some thoughts on this there!
