Next-Gen Madden NFL 25 Twitter Q&A w/ Art Director Jean Adams & Producer Seann Graddy

Re: Next-Gen Madden NFL 25 Twitter Q&A w/ Art Director Jean Adams & Producer Seann Gr

I'm still wondering if LeSean McCoy has a new cbyer face? How does Doug Martin have a accurate cyber face and not McCoy? They even have McCoy's skin color wrong in the new next-gen trailer. Please, give McCoy a mouthpiece also... It's funny how they say, it's in the game, but EA Sports refuse to put it in the game (external mouthpieces, signature shoes, signature moves,, bigger variety of accessories, tattoos)

Really bothers me that they haven't expanded on signature moves. The QB animations have not only regressed, but they haven't added signature styles for any of the new QB's on the come up.

You know what bothers me about that entire list? Not a single one of those things has anything to do with gameplay. As usual, EA's focus is on other things.

I don't care how pretty this game is. If it plays like the crap that Madden on PS3/360 has played like, then I wouldn't spend a dollar on the next gen version.

You want the Art Director to work on gameplay? How exactly?

funny thing is... they focus on the pretty stuff.. and STILL don't get it right. look how terrible the accessories and attention to detail is in this game. How long have those train track gloves been in the game? 2007? Nike shoes are mis-named and out of date. Arm accessories are limited...etc. The list goes on in every department. not just gameplay! its a disaster

[Ijeswannaknow]

I wonder if they are going to add the new arm sleeves that NFL players are wearing now... but the whole arm doesn't have to be covered like RG III...can sombody ask about that? And will all qb jerseys will be moving like the hand towles?

Agree, agree, agree!!!! Please pay attention to what's on the field. It can't be that hard.... Copy and paste from google images if you have too in order to reflect what we all see in the actual game!

The jerseys will not move this year at least.

i'm just sick of giving them the benefit of the doubt. they don't deserve it. They have yet to deliver something in the past 8 years that has made me go WOW. i already have a feeling that this ignite engine is gonna be a sham.

and who was asking these questions? why not go... hows wr/db interactions? Have you changed your mocap techniques? why does the game play so fast and jerky? ..... instead we get... "why do the graphics look so real!!?"

It was art director answering questions here , not a gameplay designer .

Also as people already mentioned , not only that we do have a pretty bad physics , animations and all that stuff (realism wise) but they cant even get the visual aspects of the game right even though it seems thats their main focus , we dont have one arm sleeves, mouthpieces , turf tape etc. which was in 08 ps2 version of the game... and to add to everything , guy from EA replies in this thread, he is asked DIRECT QUESTION about VISUAL THINGS (mouthpieces) and we still cant get an answer , is it so hard to answer such a thing with yes or no ?

I hate twitter Q&As because they can get easily lost in the shuffle, aren't in depth and the quality of questions can really vary.

This is a prime example of this.

We get nothing answers to few important questions that are relevant to a next gen game. All this stuff is stuff that should be fixed on current gen.

Questions about more varying body types, skin tones and so on are what need to be asked.

How ignite improves animations etc.

wow Emmdot really? Thats your attitude? So if were dissapointed in whats being put out you just wont show us anything anymore? So I guess the beatings will continue until morale improves. I love it, the cop out of "well if you dont like it than dont buy it." You wonder why you keep getting compared to other companies even tho youre the only ones who put out a football game.

Lol even though he's the Art Director I'm sure he knows things about the gameplay. At least I would think so

Honestly this was kind of what I took away from that response as well. It was like they are offended everyone didn't get down and worship the answers they gave to softball questions. So like a spoiled kid the response is well fine then if you aren't completely happy and content with the little information I gave you then you won't be getting anymore.

I think the Q&A was great and gave information that wasn't out there before but it gave what was the equivalent of a thimble full of water when you are talking about the ocean. Its rediculous to get bent out of shape when someone asks follow up questions given the numerous questions that people have about the graphics the questions that were asked and answered were straight line and obviously hand picked. Instead of anyone answering the one question most have, Why doesn't this look at all like what was shown at E3, or questions pertaining to the entire art direction and result we get information about specific teams uniforms and fixes that frankly could have and should have been addressed on current gen with a patch.

Re: Next-Gen Madden NFL 25 Twitter Q&A w/ Art Director Jean Adams & Producer Seann Gr

Yeah. I really dont get how they could focus so much on graphics, details, and ewuipment. And still get it so wrong. Why is it so hard for these guys to look at the real thing and nake it look like tgat in the game? Why is there sooo many problems with helmets and facemask not fitting right? It looks horroble.

With all the underwhelming next gen stuff that has came out this week, the madden next gen ship is sinking fast. Many are jumping off. But the pumps tgat is the exclusive licinse is keeping it afloat. And thats the only thing.

Not sure if these guys just dont look at details. Or if they lack the skill to make things look realstic.

I hope yall get my point. Im typing this on a badly cracked phone screen and cant even see much of what im typing.

I love how how a spokesperson comes on this post on page 2 and doesn't reply to the rapid fire of questions that follow.

1. Will mouth pieces be added this year ! If not , why? Here is an idea. Maybe when scanning in the faces add the mouth piece with graphicall enhancements to the players that have them before the face scanning is completed.

2. Will cleats be up to date? There are new styles this year. Also the ability to wear individual colors for each player. I remember Tweeting Mike young back when Madden 12 came out and he said not that year ,but it would be done in upcoming titles

3. Knee braces. almost every QB wears them.
