Madden NFL 16: First Look Trailer (Be the Playmaker)

Re: Madden NFL 16: First Look Trailer (Be the Playmaker)

Wondering when this 'Living World' from the Ignite Engine will kick-in.

-no living sidelines....again
-During OBJ's dance, all of his teammates jogged back to the sidelines rather then celebrating with him or at least being close to his celebration

I also wish they would fix the content of the scoreboard. The Show customized ever parks scoreboard with the exact graphics and fonts during the game. Adds a lot. At least automatically have the broadcast angle displayed on the scoreboard during play on the field. This is seen at almost all of the NFL stadiums

Hoping I saw some evidence of hand-fighting/jockeying for position at the :16 mark. Or at least some evidence that WRs might try to play defense on the ball when the DB has position. I'm going to be so disappointed if all of this just turns out to be a bunch of catch animations, and that's it.

I've learned to expect the worst and hope for this best with Madden though. Just have to wait for more information and gameplay videos.

I do like that they have Odell's sig celebration, adds personality that Madden severely needs. Knowing tiburon though, they only captured one version, and that version will play almost every TD, LOL.

But the question is how many times will we see the same exact celebration? It was like the same 5 last year.

Pretty much, why EA gets sued. False advertisement.

It probably won't. Clint admitted on Twitter they bit off more than they can chew. Knowing Tiburon, if they can't figure something out, they forget it and scrap it.

Looks like 15 with a few new unstoppable catch animations. More of the same. Need a breathe of fresh air! Tired of this game!

yep. Just like the cruz salsa and Antonio Brown dance. Same thing.. over and over and over

Well going by their excuse of why players don't have tattoo's maybe they have to pay the originator's of said dances so they can use it in game. It must cost NBA2k a ton to buy each individual tattoo on each player from each tattoo artist. I never realized when guys get tatted up they never really own the tattoo's but are just leasing/renting them from the tattoo artist.

Happens in the entertainment field, too.

The Mike Tyson-inspired tattoo from "The Hangover Part II" will not be digitally altered for the film's DVD release, after the tattooist struck a settlement with the film's producers.

The film's production company, Warner Bros., announced that it "amicably resolved" its dispute with tattoo artist S. Victor Whitmill, who created the original design for Tyson.

Whitmill sued Warner Bros. in April, saying that he did not give permission for the company to mimic the motif for actor Ed Helms' character "Stu" in the movie. He claimed the filmmakers copied the design that he tattooed on Tyson in 2003 in Las Vegas.

The issue is the tattoo artist's original work being recreated in a digital format. The player obviously owns the tattoo and may individually use that as part of his likeness for his own individual business, but a third party such as a video game company does not immediately have the rights to profit off the use of the tattoo artist's intellectual property by recreating it exactly in a different medium for a different use.

It's a completely legitimate legal problem.

Why does NBA2k have them. If your using real NFL players in your games you can't use their likeness. What about their haircuts do they have to pay each players barber for permission to use said haircut in game. It doesn't add up to me. If EA made another boxing game with Mike Tyson in it they couldn't use the tattoo on his face after paying money to him in order to use his likeness. Sounds like an excuse or maybe there gun shy with all the lawsuits against them but how does NBA2k do it?

Will the tackling cone be gone?

If I recall correctly, the tackle cone was already an optional visual element in Madden NFL 15.

As a gameplay assist for new players, I would expect it to return.

It was the NFLPA who instructed all the players if they want their tattoos in the game, they need permission from the artists.

NBA might have a different set of rules and regulations.

Late last year, a tattoo artist in Louisiana caught the attention of the NFL Players Association with a suit against video-game maker Electronic Arts (EA) and former NFL running back Ricky Williams over a tattoo that appeared on some game covers. That case was dismissed in April, but it left a mark on the players’ union. During the just-concluded NFL pre-season, NFLPA officials began advising players to get copyright waivers or licenses from their tattoo artists, according to George Atallah, the NFLPA’s assistant executive director of external affairs. “All we are doing is proactively telling players, ‘Yes, we know you love your tattoo artists, but regardless of whether or not you trust them, regardless of whether or not there are legal merits to the lawsuits that we’ve seen, just protect yourself,’ ” says Atallah.

While the NFLPA licenses player images to EA and other companies, Atallah says he sees no liability to the union over tattoos. “It’s America and anybody can sue anybody for anything, but we certainly don’t think there are legal merits to that,” he says. Third parties, however, have been named in most infringement cases so far.

Honestly, Odell Beckham's tattoos are difficult to make out, and they cover his entire arms. I don't think EA would need to replicate them exactly. Just have a generic style of some sort. The reasoning just sounds like a cop out in some cases.
