When you play the game you see the face .01% of the time on a replay (if you even get a good shot)

just my $.02

Amen. It's putting energy into unnecessary places. So Peyton Manning will look like Peyton Manning, except of course his body, which looks like he's roided up heading to the line of scrimmage.

I can't believe how much you people complain about things EA does to make the game better. They do something new, and you guys bitch? Wow. We already know the game was leaps and bounds better in 2010 than it was in 2009...you know 2011 will be building off of the things they did right with 2010 with improvements to areas they did wrong. My god you people are ungrateful. I love this. Can't wait to see how realistic the game is. I am tired of watching randomly generated bodies and faces on all of the star players. It makes the game feel like old school. We are on next-gen people...it's time we get a next-gen product.

You tell me how 3d helps with gameplay and animation and even AI?Like somebody else said in other thread EA has a new gimmick to cover up past mess ups that there not working on to fix.That why this gen sucks and 3d aint going to help.

Re: Check out EA's new 3-D Pod (Madden 2011)

And is exactly the reason EA doesn't care about fans like that, because everyone is so ungrateful for everything they do. It doesn't matter what the bring to the table, you guys have to constantly criticize everything they do.

Never once in that message did I say that it helps with gameplay. However, I said that it helps with immersion. For all the EA ***** trolls, why don't you wait until the blog next sunday is released before you bash every update that is brought up for Madden. Alot of people like presentation and immersion, a lot like gameplay, and most likes both...which is me. Right now, they are providing a blog about gameplay next sunday, so why would I come in here bashing EA about gameplay when this has nothing to do with gameplay? It just does not make sense to me.

Hopefully "next-gen product" won't just apply to graphics in EA's mind. I know it doesn't in yours, but you're not developing the game.

Hopefully, it applies to AI and gameplay, and the sim engine as well.

Enhanced graphics are fine - and I won't complain about them getting better, it's just not one of the things that gets me excited about Madden 11 yet.

Re: Check out EA's new 3-D Pod (Madden 2011)

It's just frustrating to hear how much they concentrate on the graphics. The stills in Madden 10 are fantastic, I will give EA that much credit, but I've been waiting for years to see wr shading, individual bump and run, more effective disguising of man/zone coverage, ai that functions well enough for a play editor, etc, etc. Guess what, they never seem able to fit those things into the game.

Please EA, get those things back in the game before working on 3-d faces we'll rarely see cause they're under a helmet. This is as exciting to hear as "animated" hand towels was for me.

Now only if we could scan the players intelligence...

Madden 11 will be the game's 6th showing on "next-gen." I think by now some things should be different, and I don't mean player faces. I enjoy the game, but there are core issues that have yet to be addressed. Those things are well over due.

THANK YOU.And I totality agree.

I can't watch the video without installing some player, but isn't it just the mobile Gentle Giant scanning studio that game companies have been using for years now?

Re: Check out EA's new 3-D Pod (Madden 2011)

Shouldn't we wait for gameplay information to be released before pushing the panic button?

Doesn't that sound reasonable?

A website produces an article about 3D modeling for Madden and people are demanding game play without any knowledge what game play will be added this year.

Ian is coming out with a game play SB blog.

After that, I'm sure will get a trickle of information till the end of July.

Hmmm.....I thought that different teams work on different parts of the game. There's nothing wrong with this. Also, almost everything was finalized about 1-2 months ago. This is typical routine except with better technology. I don't see the reason why you guys are panicking and shooting something positive down.

I see who falls for the new gimmicks every year.

Yep, I guess I am looking for the new gimmicks because apparently they made all the difference in Madden 10.

That was the response we got last year. They must have 20 guys in the art deprtment and 1 concentrating on gameplay cause we got colored cleats, animated hand towels, super bowl patches, ben rothlisberger got his number placed in the right spot on the back of his helmet...

What great gameplay feature from last gen made it into Madden 10 that hadn't made it to the current systems yet? How many are still missing and begged for every year?
