Madden NFL 16: New 'Be the Playmaker' Screenshots

[reverend_heat]

madden cannot take the next step visually until EA takes player likeness more seriously. the shots in a lot of instances simply do not look like the player they are attempting to re-create. player models need adjusting, and in reality need to be redone completely. Antonio Browns body looks like Woody from Toy Story, in a lot of cases players need to be more compact I guess is the best word, and in a lot of cases the players heads are still waaay too big for their body, look at the shots of Beckham jr. for an example. And the uniforms, especially the jersey numbers, are just completely off size wise.

I feel like I've already seen this before.

This! Where are the Living Worlds we were promised? I know Clint tweeted something to the effect of they bit off more than they could chew when they made the transition front last gen, but can the sidelines get a little love? I'm not expectin sideline players to have the same graphical fidelity as players on the field but can they be a little more detailed? Can we at least get player names on the back of sideline players jerseys? Can we at least get them to react properly to what's happening on the field? Can we at least get some cheerleaders & mascots? Are there woman & children finally in the crowd this year? Are camera men still wearing shorts & t-shirts in snow games? I mean is this stuff too much to ask?

I know game play is obviously most important, but with the power of these Next Gen consoles there's no reason for attention to detail to continue to be neglected year after year. I'm all about immersion so I hope EA addresses these things as well as game play. Step it up EA!

The lighting does look better in these, though once again it appears the helmets and jerseys don't match in color tone/lighting. Not a huge leap from last year, but it is noticeable. The graphics in Madden last year weren't bad to begin with, but compared to other games on these systems it leaves more to be desired.

I keep seeing the quote about throwing to where only your WR can get it. Hopefully this new height advantage addition applies to the defense too. Guys like Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner should be hell to deal with at times just because of their length alone. Anxious to hear more about this.

Gronks numbers look bad. Screens don't look any better than M15 which is disappointing.

I want to see more dynamic gameplay, M15 was decent, but that should have laid the foundation to something greater. Something I don't understand, I'm a weather buff in football as these racing games are getting creative with weather why can't Madden. I mean if you look at football, weather is an important variable ,not just tacked on addition. For example when playing at Denver, Chicago, KC, I have seen games with sleet rain and snow all mixed or changing back and forth from both.

is it really that hard to update the equipment

[Deezo]

So today after a production meeting at work (I work for a media production studio that does a lot of animation and character design for some pretty large game studios) I showed two of our lead animators the "new screenshots" for Madden 16 and then screens from Madden 15. Their response was pretty funny. Now I have no animation or coding experience, I just handle marketing and bizdev, but according to them it wouldn't be hard to add things like licensed equipment, correcting the helmet and jersey colors (the colts helmet and jersey blues are different).

I know these are early screens but for the most part this game was more than likely started shortly after or even during the completion of Madden 15. You would think for next gen some of this stuff would've been cleaned up.

As for game play, please let there me some MAJOR improvements to DB/WR interactions and a huge update to the AI...
