We would rather see 100 animations and variety to players then ultra Hi Resolution!

I'm bullish on the game though, and expect them to do both well going forward.

I do not disagree with you. And I think EA knows that they have the casual gamer and the hard core gamer. Perhaps they could shift their resources to address this. Perhaps different modes that would satisfy both audiences? This seems like it would be a better use of limited resources instead of that The Yard or KO Superstars nonsense.

But EA is going to do EA things.

You ever see a younger kid going into replay and zooming into the grass just admiring it’s green glory? I don’t think so. Meanwhile, we can’t even get dynamic weather. A visual implementation that actually makes sense.

I play H2H exclusively and weather isn't even turned on in that mode. I haven't played a bad weather game in years.

Those things are pretty big to me and Madden continues to screw them things up yr after yr. I'm glad that ppl are calling them out for the flaws like lighting & fields not looking like their real life counterparts. It's been pretty clear Madden has been holding back in their graphic department. There's a youtuber out there (that I have distain for) that was sent a video that compares the visuals from like 19 to 21 current gen & I can't say that its wrong.

I agree. While I enjoy next gen gameplay wise, I could care less about the slight graphic upgrades from ps4 version to 5. they could have definitely spent more time adding more animations than they have instead of brighter pictures.

Some will say they care about the colors and lights on the TV and it's respected. Im on the side that cares about the game feeling 2021ish and seeing wayyy more animations and immersion in gameplay at this point.

No graphic upgrade in my close to 30 yrs of playing madden has made me love the game more than a gameplay improvement but I'm not amazed by the lights and flashes.

This is head and shoulders a much better experience to give the gameplayers then constantly trying to add all these high resolution graphics and textures each year to the game. What good is it if the gameplay still feels, "oh Ive seen this a million times already and know how it will unfold" but just now at a higher resolution!! Work on the dynamics, the organics, and make each play, each game, each player feel different!!!

I agree with your post 100%. That said, this is EA Tiburon we're talking about here. They can't even figure out how to get Refs on the field, stop the ball from ghosting through stadium walls, players from walking through bodies lying on the field after tackles, etc. So thousands of player specific animations might be asking a little too much. Sorry, had to be that guy lol

EA fix user settings so camera angles, playbooks, etc stays saved like MLB the show. Its annoying fixing settings every game.

I'm going to say add thousands of new animations, because playing next gen, I can say with 100 percent certainty that they at least added hundreds of new animation in next gen Madden 21. From the first day it dropped through today I am still seeing new animations and interactions in the game. Of course to see them you can't be wearing your "F EA" blinders otherwise you probably won't notice.

Unfortunately, the answer to that has been clear for a VERY long time.
