Re: Madden NFL 18 Video - Graphics, Intros, Stadium Exteriors, Weather Effects (SFBC)

Yea the on field personnel is really embarrassing. I know it’s a lot to mo-cap tons of cameramen, chearleaders, broadcasters, etc. but these run outs (also the sidelines during in game) just look like they’re from ncaa football. And that was on last gen. With a less powerful engine. But we’re getting the same total of characters on field. Idk. And don’t get me started on the super bowl presentation.
I’ve been tired of madden not upgrading their presentation aspects for years and years. It’s quickly falling behind the standard of what it should be. And to make matters worse, presentation as a whole literally looks like a copy and paste from last year besides the lighting and player model details. It just doesn’t make sense to me with all this talk about frostbite, and all they did were those two improvements. No dynamic weather, no upgrades to the sideline, no cloth physics (SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?), and no visual improvement to crowds. If you want to be taken seriously with authenticity, take notes from nba 2k and mlb the show, cause they actually care how the game looks compared to real life.

Re: Madden NFL 18 Video - Graphics, Intros, Stadium Exteriors, Weather Effects (SFBC)

After looking at highlights of all the videos, it brings me right back to some things I had said the last couple of weeks. Madden stays same, with some features being here this year and gone the next.

I give this madden excellent lighting and player models as some have said, but evironmentally this game should have ecked out a few more minor details. It is because of this continuing trend that my madden days might be over. I am tired of this same cycle we have seen the last twelve years. A lot of OSers have reiterated the same things I mentioned as well that other developers do that the madden team just won't do. Why should be surprised it has been this since 06.

I find it hard to believe that after integrating NBC telecast in the NHL series, ESPN telecast in NBA Live and NCAA Football and NCAA Basketball (along with CBS telecast), EA would decide to not have ESPN integration or any TV broadcast style integration in Madden.

EA signed an agreement with ESPN in 2005 to license their network and personalities in their video games for the next 15 years. Why would they pay all that money for the license only to keep it out of Madden, especially after seeing all the success ESPN integration had in NFL 2k5?

People are forgetting that this is year 1 of the switch to Frostbite. Take a look at FIFA and what they have done with the atmosphere in year 2 of Frostbite.

Has nothing to do with the NFL, just like the whole "tattoos are forbidden by the NFL" was a sham the entire time. that lasted almost 10 years.

NBA Live is using ESPN, so, there might be a bit of truth to the NFL Network angle that a former developer hinted at several years ago.

From Adembroski, former Madden employee in a different thread today:

They can't. NFL wont let them use ESPN over NFLN, ESPN wont let them use NFLN over ESPN. Neither wants them to use both, and that's a bandwidth issue anyways.

NBA Live moves like Madden with the jerky animations.
