Re: Madden 13 Camera & graphics
Well, as far as pre play snap there is something special about a close cam that makes you feel like you there at the line ready to snap. But I was speaking more about the field, textures, and it just looks cleaner. madden started looking very water color like and the colors often more cartoon like as the years progressed. I know the animations, features, player models(shape), etc have slowly gotten better. I was speaking purely on shading and texture,etc. I really like the Madden zoom cam from 2010 for post snap.
But if you compare madden 2010 or 2011 zoom cam to madden 06's pre snap cam, you can easily see IMO the graphics(speaking shading, textures,colors,detail, and jaggies have def went backwards. The question is why? Did they have to do it to account for referee's, extra sideline players, crowd changes, etc? Honestly, I liked the shading better in 06, just need Madden 12's models, faces, new player access, animations, etc and IMO it would be a much better game.
I guess there was just a lot to Madden 12 that really let me down graphically. I really didn't like it at all.
If some of you remember, I created the ps3 thread about grass, and thanks to many people providing photos and videos with me, we were able to get a patch. That's great, but these fields still look terriblel. I know some think its just a field, but its extremely important to a lot of people. The game has to look real. MLB the show, forza 4, 2k12, and other sports games make you feel like its near the real thing....but Madden just doesn't. I am speaking graphically here. Not trying to put down the game, but i guess I just wish more people stood up for expecting more on these issues and stood their ground. Im waiting for that great Madden release to come
For me Madden 12 uses a very misleading graphics engine. Sure it looks great when zoomed in extremely close on replays(and some cut scenes) but during gameplay this game is jaggy(looks under 720p resolution for starters) and its just water colored and often bad.
Wish there was a way to come together and lay down what we want as a community so perhaps EA would work on these issues like they did the ps3 grass issues.
To be clear to everyone:
I know there a ton of issues Madden needs to work on. Im speaking from a graphics stand point alone. Remember, the art team has to do work too, so this wont take away from gameplay,etc....
for me, I'd like to see the following.
1.less jaggies(mostly ps3). nba 2k12 really cleaned there ps3 game up this year and the jaggies were a huge improvement(still bad triangle head/hand crowds though)
2.Fix those fields. There just bad. I know some stadiums in real like have blotches, but they still look like grass. Madden 12 looks like a 14 year old smeared water coloring on some of those fields. Its just bad and makes the game look terrible at times.
3.Custom cam, or give us a ton of cameras to choose from. Mainly some cool zoom cams that give some of us something fresh besides the sky cam we have this year(like ants to me) Giving us all the cams that were once in the game would be a start at least. Why take another out to give us another?
4. The lighting is still aweful. Better then last year, but still just doesnt look right.
these are only just graphic issues/cam issues Id like to see. Not gameplay etc mentioned here. Thx
