Madden NFL 16 Screenshots

[YYH23]

The graphics are fine in Madden, improvement in gameplay is key.

I remember when I was popping in at Tiburon during Madden 10's dev cycle, I saw builds where they had the towel and a handwarmer sort of fighting for position on the players waists, and the handwarmer band would disappear into the body a lot. It was pretty wacky. I just took it for an early glitch and never thought to consider it was anything deeper until it was clarified later. Agreed, and it is infinitesimal in the grand scheme of things. I often struggle between my gamer side and my developer side when it comes to things like this. I just feel bad for guys like Kane who work so much making recommendations for these fixes, but have to deal with development priorities that trump these types of visual issues.

I think it would be a major step up if they actually got used. The qb would walk up to the line with his hands inside the warmer. Or using the towel to wipe his hands. Why does it just have to be an aesthetic thing?

Also in the Photo thread Rex also mentioned they were going to try and fix the sideline and crowd NPC'S to wear cold weather gear during cold weather games. This would help add to the atmosphere of playing in Green bay if everybody is bundled up.

Alright but at least fix the color and lighting. Why does it gotta be so dull and dead like that? Who is okayin that over there? In the Gronk pic it looks like dude had most of his textures wiped off.



Im sorry man, the lighting and the color is just booty.

Madden's still suffering from the same thing as last year. It's almost as if there is a gray layer over everything and the saturation isn't all the way their. These aren't perfect edits by any means but it just shows the absolute lack of vibrant color that should be present.

SMDH. The original pics just look like they threw a haze over the whole scene. Why do they DO stupid stuff like this? What's the point of it? Another year of that? Seriously?

I hate this development team so much man.

The biggest advantage the next gen systems have over the previous systems is lighting. The other sports games have all taken advantage of this, but with Madden I feel like the lighting is lacking. These screens did not get me excited because they look almost exactly the same.

I did not think the graphics in Madden 15 looked poor, but compared to other Xbox One/PS4 games Madden is behind. It either looks too cartoony or washed out, just not a natural finish to the game. Hopefully we will see some cool new things when the gameplay videos come out.

Also, one thing I really don't understand is not showcasing any new equipment in these screens. In the past Madden has catered more for the casual fan than the sim fan. Wouldn't brand new, flashy equipment create a buzz? I mean they added the Beckham catch and even showcased it in their short 10 second trailer. You would think the casual fan would find enjoyment that he can have his guys wear what the cover guy is wearing. None of the equipment Richard Sherman had on the cover was in the game.

Madden is all about looking pretty motionless. Throw together a screenshot of a guy wearing a mouthpiece (remember these?), one armed sleeve, and some new Nike gloves and cleats, etc. etc. and I guarantee you places like this would have a more positive aura. I think it was NCAA 11 when they re-did the equipment and it was all showcased in their first screenshot on ESPN. People on OS were drooling over that, it's a shame we might have to wait another year for new equipment.
