When I think about all the money Madden makes for EA between normal sales and the My Team mode I can't help to feel like we get insulted every year. I'm not saying I expect them to reinvest all their earnings but other sports games do so much more in a year and make far less money.

i love it 24 hrs and the hate is already pouring in no one has the complete info or played the game to see if the under the hood stuff has been tuned up or changed to be better just complaints about how gear is bad and lighting cause yea they are important but damn madden was a solid game last yr once you got the sliders right it was not better or no worse than 2k or mlb (which btw both of those games look alot like there previous versions too) mlb the show was pretty much a complete under the hood upgrade and it was great and there isn't nearly as much hate in there forums about the limited upgrades to it.
I know no one cares what im typing and that's fine just hate that every time madden has something they are trying to improve people don't even wait to the dev videos or the damn demo videos for it to be harshly critiqued. i cmon and to the guy that said 2k and mlb improve EXPONENTIALLY EACH YEAR REALLY????? check there forums at least maddens servers work for online season play and 2k online association?oh wait that still inst a thing oh and the shows road to the show hasn't changed in yrs also there franchise mode is very flat and not a lot of customization. AND THIS IS COMING FROM A GUY WHO LOVES THE SHOW!!!! LOL i really do but no game is perfect all dev teams have a budget and limited time and do what they can. Oh and this competition argument is garbage too all of the major sports t games have no competition (NBA live you say really? getting better but no competition yet for 2k) i don't hear that crazy argument about the other games lol clowns.
Ok done ranting later haters see you online lol !Comment

Re: Madden NFL 16 Screenshots
Ugh. Nighttime and indoor stadium lighting is still just too dark. It's like they are playing under minimal stadium lighting. Same as last year. And the "sheen" (shininess) on the uniforms is just way overdone.
In terms of the whole package I felt a little duped by Madden 15 (after not having bought it in 4 years). I think 16 may be another 'pass'

Re: Madden NFL 16 Screenshots
I wouldn't be surprised if you were right. Certainly there's an art team and certainly there's a team focused on just 3D graphics rendering in the general case.
However, given how tightly development time and resources in franchised AAA games are budgeted, if it wasn't planned at the outset to refactor hand towels, it doesn't get done.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 16 Screenshots
hand towels are one thing... but cleats, gloves, arm sleeves..etc. are another.
Its very odd to me because I know in EA NHL.. the equipment companies want their newest gear in the game each year. Why wouldn't nike, under armor etc. do the same with madden? What benefit does it give Nike to have cleats and gloves from 2007 in the game?
Also.. if they aren't going to update stuff.. why have a screenshot of Richard Sherman.. when it is so obvious that he needs his specific equipment.
Some of the logic and decision making by Tiburon PR is just bafflingComment

Re: Madden NFL 16 Screenshots
I know it's been said a hundred times already but how can they leave out the armsleeve? I'm not even an equipment junkie but that is just so stupid! It is being worn by TONS of NFL players and it looks weird not seeing them wear it on the game. If RG3 can have it, then it's possible to implement.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 16 Screenshots
Ugh. I usually don't comment on stuff like this but I can't stand how dark and dull Madden looks. I thought for sure FOR SURE they would finally redo the lighting this year, but it appears identical to last year. Turn on some damn lights and move that brightness slider up EA come on.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 16 Screenshots
I believe they stated the only way they go it on rg3 was because they made his actual player model that way. It's not a piece of equipment on him but it's his actual player model. The baffling thing is NCAA football was able to do it. You could put all types of sleeves on each arm individually. Same companyComment

Re: Madden NFL 16 Screenshots
well....15 looked good, so I agree with most that I'd rather them use the "graphical" resources on facial scan and equipment; I know tattoos were trademarked by Kaep which is why they were in last year so can't blame EA. Just gotta see this puppy in motion before I can really critique....
On a positive, I do like that all of the night screen shots are being played on the "Super Bowl 50" field so I like the skin along the lower bowl at Levi's. I know they aren't giving too much away, but I;m hoping they make the effort the NFL did by pumping the heck out of it...Comment

Re: Madden NFL 16 Screenshots
I don't obviously know what kind of effort you guys put forth into each rendition of your game each year and I know it is wayyyy early, but when I don't even bother to look past the first couple of Madden 16 first glimpses of your "new" game out of sheer apathy it means something. I gotta tell you those screen shots were Madden 15 with a 16 overlay.
I really hope some day we get a bad *** football game, but it will be a surprise.Comment

What's with the Popeye arms on the QB'sComment

I said this last year when the Kaepernick screenshot dropped, it's stupid for them to add tattoos for some players (in this case one player) & not all players smh. Either have tatts for all players who have them or none at all. Looks more awkward to only have tatts on certain players than to have none in the game. If they can't "get the rights" for all players, just scrap the whole idea.Comment

Dont wanna be the that guy that slams the fist ounce of anything we get but... damn. The little details that are little in consequence to the game, but are easy updates (gloves, towels, player models in to muscular build) is largely not just the same as M15, but the same since in 2011.
Not a deal breaker, not even close, but it is worth noting.Comment
