Madden NFL 16: New 'Be the Playmaker' Screenshots

[badazzleroybrown]

I am going to pass on this years game. looks the same as 15 and from a graphic point I do not see any progress. the only thing I have seen different is the Giants helmet looks more true to its actual color where in 15 it was God awful. Like others have said the colors are washed out. even on replays in Madden 15 the game engine does not hold the image in a sharp form as the other players helmets suffers those wavy bumps.

they need to hire a new lighting and graphic person or give us a tool in the game like nhl where we can edit uniform and colors. I actually run my ps4 thru my massive Origin pc with 2 Titan z cards then use my pc to change the look of madden to my liking .

Now i would buy it if it was made for pc but i am going to pass.

Slick screens, but it's all about the animation for me.

And why do images of the Miami Dolphins never arrive in the first batch? C'mon, now. Tiburon is located in Florida. Let's get on it.

I have lowered expectations with madden because generally they spend most of their time on gimmicks each year (some work out) Ie a card game few play relative to desired area of improvement. but makes them more money. Madden has over many years become synonymous with frustration. We all have our ideas about improving the game, but EA has a different agenda. Compare the Mlb the show team and their words backed by effort and end product to EA sports madden team. It ain't close.

I believed that (and still may do so after the fact) until I listened to Kolbe today.(formally of MLB The Show, who is now in charge of CFM)

He said he worked all last year on MUT to get MUT fixed and all up and running. He is now in charge of CFM and said the resources this year were put into game play and CFM.

So, we will see what the outcome of that is.

I hope you are right. Madden has surprised in the past just not very often. Btw, many people comment on how hard it is to implement or improve areas of Madden. I was under the impression that their new programming tools made it easier and faster to make changes and even test them.

What I don't understand is how they had updated equipment in NCAA like 2 years ago.

By looking at the Calvin Johnson screen shot I would say they got another wrong face for him. cause it looks nothing like him except the skin tone.

oh goodie another face pack likeness update

No thanks. Far too much contrast. Loses realistic coloring of the sun in the Luck pic - essentially ignoring the sun. I will say though that effect is overdone by EA in the first place. Missing a happy medium here.

Not shocking that half this forum gets excited when they see ramped up contrast and darkened gamma scales all the while ignoring image accuracy... this is why LED's sell so well *rolls eyes*

Notice how in the PP27 solo pic that 80% of the detail is lost on his helmet (scuffs, scratches etc) because the contrast is far too high compromising image accuracy.
