Madden NFL 08 vs. NFL 2K5 Part Three

[RaychelSnr]

Continuing our grudge match between Madden NFL 08 and NFL 2k5, we have Wil Soistman comparing the graphical components of each game this week. Check out part three of our comparison of Madden NFL 08 vs. NFL 2k5.

Quote:

"This week's comparison brings us to the debate on graphics. Coming off last week's in-depth comparison of the controls and gameplay makes this week's comparison feel simplistic. Now, comparing a game that came out almost four years ago to a game that came out just last year is not a hard comparison to make because technology has advanced. So Madden is the clear cut winner in this category, right?"

Well there is no way Madden has a chance of winning the presentation round. So it looks like after 4 years, the LAST GEN game is still better. I will admit that 09 is looking much better, but yet it still lags way behind is some major areas of the game.

Since EA sports bought the 2K franchise, why doesnt EA take the engine that was produced from NFL 2K5, completely disregard the Madden engine and insert the 2K5 engine?

++If EA didnt purchase 2K then im sorry. im an idiot. Completely disregard me.

No crap,a next-gen game from last year beats a 4-year old last gen game in graphics.Next weeks presentation comparison should be a good laugh though.

You can compare Madden '09 and only come up with a win for graphics for that game as well.I don't even know if it should win even that if it doesn't finally take care of the constant morphing issues.

Well, in Will's defense, it's hard to compare graphics from two different generations without giving the newer one a full fledged advantage. The problem is, you also can't disregard one category in a straight up battle and judge it by different criteria than straight up. So of course Madden is the better looking game, but that's what happens.
