EA Sports Puts Kinect In Madden & FIFA
Both American football and football around the world will be getting Kinect voice recognition.
In FIFA, you can make substitutions, change tactics and formations on the fly with the peripheral. You can also argue with the referee or linesman. But watch out if you do, the AI will know, and could give you a card if you're too harsh.
For Madden, Joe Montana took the stage to bark out some pre-snap commands on offense such as flipping his plays, hiking the ball, and calling out hot routes for specific WRs. There was a noticable lag in the hike, for instance, though, so you're going to want to leave some time on the play clock if you're using Kinect.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
