Madden NFL 15 Screenshot - Levi's Stadium

After seeing what they've done with arenas in NHL, this picture is pretty underwhelming.

Edit: This may be a stretch but Madden seems to be a year or 2 behind NHL and FIFA. I'm hoping next year we see a huge jump in things like stadiums, sidelines, etc. I'd rather have them work on gameplay then the cosmetic stuff anyway for now.

That looks like ****, is this from Sega Dreamcast or Nintendo 64? How come the rest of EA's crews for other games always do a much better job then the Madden crew ever does? Is there something in the air/water at Tiburon?

Yeah, nailed it. Looks just like N64 Madden.

They are focused on gameplay for now but if Brian Murray can do as much for presentation as he did in 7 months, imagine what he can do with a full cycle next year. Plus with Ignite they should be able to improve it at a faster rate. I think it will look like that first Madden trailer once they address Living Worlds as they intend to. The first trailer had way more sideline personnel including cheerleaders and also had women and children in the crowd.

I understand the disappointment but I think most people will be pretty pleased with the presentation this year overall. I'm hoping this presentation stream (tbd) impresses as much as the gameplay one.

I think the sidelines and crowd models will be at this level soon and maybe even surpass it.

not completely related but I thought this was interesting...




Left being 2k's scan and right being EA's scanning techniques. I think this explains why EA has a more 'cartoony' appearance in general. The article I found it from said that EA seems to work on the textures of faces after it is scanned in..and 2k seems to just capture the whole head. Explains the sort of plastic look that EA models have

Not sure that you can really get a sense of how alive the crowd is from a still shot, but as far as graphics are concerned, they are amazing. Madden has always had awesome graphics.
