From IGN
"I remember the first time I saw the videos of the "supposed" next-gen Madden at E3 for the Xbox 360, it looked beautiful. EA of course confirmed it was not real in-game footage, just a simple rendering of what the game would look like. EA even went as far as to say they didn't want to release those because the real game would look better.
Recently, through Pepsi's and Burger King's promotions, videos of EA's real Madden "Next Gen" have come out, and they look maybe comparable to NFL 2k5 which was released on XBOX LAST YEAR!
IGN, being the source of all wisdom in the universe (not including the moon of course), must have found out more about this title, are these early builds or are they closed to the finished product. There is a lot of controversy surrounding the subject, we need IGN to shed some light upon this. Please.

We did look into the matter by speaking with EA directly about the Burger King shots and video. We asked, begged, and pleaded to have them give us those shots and video, with an explanation of why they look like they do, but EA wouldn't have any of it. We're told those are old images and video, and they are not representative of the current game. Those were taken awhile back, and I suspect that they were grabbed using an early Beta kit. So, while I am personally not expecting the world to explode with gorgeous new Madden images with this next version, those are definitely not what the final game will look like. We're going to see Madden next week in an eyes-on preview, so perhaps we can talk about how good/bad it's looking via a final debug kit version then. To conclude, those shots are rubbish; EA knows it, we know it, and thankfully, according to EA, you won't have to worry. Madden NFL 06 will look better than that. *Crosses fingers* |

Good news I guess. We'll see in a week if they're right.
