Madden NFL 16 Screenshots

"If it's in the game, it's in the game"...... except for mouthpieces, arm sleeves, pass interference, etc.

Personally, I thought the Luck screenshot looked pretty good. However, with that being said, late afternoon lighting looked good in Madden 15...I want to see some other shots in order to determine if some graphical difference does indeed exist between Madden 15 and Madden 16. And, with regard to equipment, it is in need of a significant update. Nike is the NFL's main supplier now...it shouldn't be too hard to get mass amounts of their equipment into the game.

Any "It's in the Game" jokes, ironic statements, etc... should become the ultimate taboo on these boards. This isn't 1999.

Madden has always looked great in screenshots. That's why I don't give much stock into screenshots. I just took this, and it's Madden 15. Looks the same quality as the Madden 16 pics.

I'm just simply not satisfied with these screenshots so far....NBA 2K practically looks like real life..Even NHL..an EA game looks much better than Madden....I'm truly disappointed. The gameplay better be amazing to justify not improving the graphics at all!

Madden NFL has to render 22 players, officials, dozens of sideline characters, and giant stadiums in a variety of environmental conditions, as compared to other team sports games rendering 10 or 12 players, three or four referees, a smaller number of sideline characters, and smaller stadiums in very controlled environments. With fewer things to render and fewer variables to account for, more computational and rendering resources can be allocated to each individual thing.

Comparing how a football game looks to how an indoor team sports game looks isn't really a fair comparison, the indoor sports game should almost always look better. I think FIFA, Pro Evolution Soccer, and any other competing football game which may emerge in the future are better points of references for graphics comparisons to Madden, as those games will face similar technical challenges to those in front of the Madden NFL team.

As I've said in the past, I am no expert when it comes to game development. And, I think in terms of the course of a few years, Madden has come a long way graphically. So, I think any technical explanation of these challenges brings more understanding to the situation.
