Re: Madden NFL 16: New 'Be the Playmaker' Screenshots

I'm glad there are others who will comment good bad or indifferent regarding screen shots. I just have a low hype meter every year when the screen shots start coming out. I just don't have an eye for that type of stuff.

Maybe because it looks the same every year. I don't know, when I watch NFL on TV or go to a game, I really don't pay that much attention to mouth guards, sleeves, spikes, etc.... The only color that pops out at me is the pink in October.

If the game looks better in motion, nobody will complain about the graphics.

I think you have a great point. Madden will seem a lot better if the motion is better. However, that's not an excuse for lacking lighting improvements. If I am correct, the art director is not working on player movement all year long. I was hoping to see improvement in both areas...Though, I do believe we'll get one

The description in the article does say improved time of day and lighting for greater player likeness, so we'll see what that ends up meaning.

meh, i been looking at madden since 1998 man, i don't see anything ground breaking, same ol same ol, it's almost routine with madden, personaly i have 15, i liked it better than the previous installments starting from 12. i prolly wont go heads in on this title unless i see something that makes me like it more than 15. there's just way to many games coming out or already out to be bothered with this. it's the same ol hype they do every year, and the same people defending or disagreeing with the game every year. bottom line if you like it, get it, if you dont, dont buy it, but i really hope we dont see another countless threads, about the same ol.

Here's the actual sentence from the Madden Website about the lighting.

"Improved time of day and lighting helps highlight Madden NFL 16's updated player likenesses."

I am a big Madden and NFL fan...I just think as fans we deserve improvement relative to the rest of the industry. And if they really improved lighting in a significant way, wouldn't we be able to tell? Most comments are expressing the fact that this looks like Madden 15.

Screen shots look fine to me.

Not a great deal better than Madden NFL 15, but as I said in a different thread I didn't expect a giant graphical leap.

I can tell the difference, especially in the Luck, Patrick Peterson, and Calvin & PP screenshots.

Was really hoping the next batch of screens would feature updated Nike equipment instead of the 10 year old reebok stuff. Any news on the equipment front jpdavis?

Re: Madden NFL 16: New 'Be the Playmaker' Screenshots

I'll admit some shots do look a little bit better. I'm really hung up on the one with Antonio Brown though...It almost looks like last-gen

I'm in the same boat. I didn't expect much of an upgrade either. If you look at Madden 2002 or whichever was the first on those systems, other than lighting, the graphics didn't really improve much. 2005 changed up the models a bit but they weren't a whole lot different. The only thing I really wanted to see was an upgrade on colors and lighting and I'm just not seeing it here. The Cardinals red almost looks maroon/pinkish and then the lack of new equipment is frustrating. I mean, I've got pictures of Priest Holmes from 2003 wearing the same gloves that are in these screenshots. I get that equipment isn't a huge issue to most people and whatnot but it's just frustrating as someone who loves uniform intricacies, details and player uniqueness.

Re: Madden NFL 16: New 'Be the Playmaker' Screenshots

Probably hard to discern improvements in 1vs1 player interactions from still screenshots. Overall the graphics, as screenshots go, look pretty much the same fro last year to me, but honestly that doesn't matter to me if the game plays well.

Re: Madden NFL 16: New 'Be the Playmaker' Screenshots

I would be just fine with a polish to the bench players, coaches, camera men, special attendees. and addition of cheerleaders.

After closer inspection from the Andre Johnson / Sherman and Antonio Brown screenshots, the sidelines are still like scene from a zombie movie; hopefully next year...right?

False.. One thing I noticed, and notice in motion too is the fact that the Steelers' sleeve are wrong, still...They striping does not go all the way around the sleeve.
