Is Spectator Mode Still Desired?

Over the past few years the idea of a spectator mode has generated a lot of interest. Other games have implemented it successfully though it is difficult to gauge how much it is utilized. The thought with a sports game would be how it would allow you to watch important games between friends, watch league games which could even be for the purpose of scouting, and just jumping in other highly anticipated match-ups.

While playing NHL 09′s EASHL it hit me that the game already had a form of spectator mode built in. When penalized and in the box you just sit there and watch. Now it isn’t the best perspective to watch a full game from so they would need to add at least one different camera angle, but essentially the ability to sit in a game is already there. EA has stated that they are looking to get spectator mode built in to games such as Madden in the future. Knowing that NHL somewhat has it already can lead you to believe we are getting closer to that being realized.

With having the ability to upload video highlights and screenshots I’ve started to wonder if spectator mode is as desired as it used to be. Obviously most people get the game to play but there are occasions where just watching one as it is played could be appealing. Are there those of you out there who would spend time spectating games?

I could see spectator mode being beneficial in on-line tournaments where you would be able to view your upcoming opponents and get a feel for their style of play. This could work quite well with the sports genre of course but with other games as well, such as fighting games that implement strategy (Soul Caliber for eg:). I think that it would also make on-line tournys in games like Madden a bit more appealing and would give the tourny experience a more “real” feel to it.

I would definitely like to see a spectator mode in some of EA’s games. As a commisioner of on SEC only online dynasty, there are some big matchups throughout the season that I would LOVE to be able to watch…. not to mention the conference championship games. I’ve loved this concept and enjoyed being able to spectate in PGR. Ad it EA!!

i hope you guys are joking…you seriously enjoy watching other people play games? people are pretty easy to scout if you look at their career records and stats…and in online dynasties always look as the stats for their players and you will know who is going to get the ball before every game…you really want to waste your time watching someone else play when you could be playing and improving your game instead? wow…i’m absolutely dumbfounded…

I wouldn’t watch games often, but it would be cool to watch your friends play in a big bowl game on NCAA or the playoffs or Super Bowl in Madden. Of course it would have to be an option that would not cause performance problems (additional lag or anything). I think it is worth EA adding to the games at some point. I just wouldn’t put the need for it above other things like Online Franchises for every title, better presentation, etc. So in summary yes I think they should add it, but not right now at the cost of other needed upgrades.

I’d love to have spectator mode. But EA/Tiburon has soo many other things to work on and improve that I don’t see this coming down the pike anytime soon in Madden. Hopefully The Show will add it sometime soon.

I think it’d be great for NCAA Football. I know theres been multiple times my friend and I, in our online dynasty, have commented we’d like to watch each other play the big games on our schedules against the CPU.

Spectator mode would be coo if we could get highlights from League games….I know Ive found myself seeing a friend play a close game on the system and wanted to look in to see the outcome but I don’t know about the WHOLE game but having highlights from let’s just say the Dynasty…..would be coo….and what ever happened to EASW keeping up with the Leagues on the site…..we still waiting on that huh

I`m gonna have to agree with nba2k guy on this one. Everyone scouts or wants to do stuff different we should treat them like its such a suprise that they do stuff a different way and it does seem like Jonathon is acting like its a big deal other peeps do it different.

Hey Jonathon… twist words as much as you like but you did, in fact, point the finger and laugh at those who do enjoy watching the occasional match-up. It’s sentences like… “i hope you guys are joking…you seriously enjoy watching other people play games?” and… “you really want to waste your time watching someone else play when you could be playing and improving your game instead? wow…”. If you cannot see the negative connotations in what you are saying then you are truly so self-centered that you cannot see the forrest through the trees.

There are certainly other ways to scout a teams tendencies but the most enjoyment most would get out of a feature like this would to be able to watch a big match-up like conference championships, bowl games, etc. PGR did it nicely and shows that it can be done without affecting player gameplay.

it is a question….do you not see the ending punctuation? is it wrong to question the seriousness of people that post online? because i am sure that most of you know that people on forums just say things to say things…i didn’t call anyone out by name…i didn’t make a statement telling people that they were ignorant to enjoy watching games on line…i was merely asking questions about the genuineness of their statements…it wouldn’t be the first time that people posted on a forum just to post and take up dead space…
