Madden NFL 16: The Top Five Stadiums

[RaychelSnr]

One reason I enjoy playing Madden is that I get to see all the different venues the game has to offer, and the individuality each location brings to the table. Although these stadiums are not quite as impressive as those found in Sony's MLB: The Show franchise, EA does an admirable job bringing these stadiums to life. With that in mind, I wanted to take a look at my five favorite stadiums in Madden 16, and why I enjoy them.

Lambeau, Gillette, Arrowhead, Heinz Field and Century Link are my personal favorites. I'm not a fan of domes or retractable stadiums (which might as well be domes since they're never open in CFM).

I also like the look of US Bank but I haven't played in it yet. Apparently, the viking horn is not in it from what I read, thats a bummer.

It's a shame EA don't show of the Stadiums a little more in the game during Cut Scenes instead of bombarding us with repetitive post play animations.

I can never get why they can't get Wembley right (the games whether you like them are going to go on for a few years), their counterparts over at FIFA certainly have the models. Madden 25 got pretty close, but since they've reverted to this overly-narrow bowl.

Great list man. Lucas Oil looks beautiful in the game just like in real life. My personal favorite stadium to play in.

is the new Atlanta Falcons stadium available in later years like the Vikings?

yeah, you'd think they could learn from other sports games even just for quarter and half changes. NBA 2k does the aerial shots of the arenas at the half which is always cool.

it'd work really well for Madden, they could do the TV standard Goodyear Blimp shot of the stadium returning from the half and say "aerial coverage provided by MetLife/Goodyear... and you're looking at AT&T stadium as we return to action." or whatever, instead we get closeups of random guys preparing for kickoff doing some random huddle...

Agreed. I play NHL and love to intro to games and how they show the "live" shot from outside the Area. Mix that with some awesome stadium cut scenes and I'd be in heaven. Most of the stadiums look really good, if we got to see more of them it would break up the post play nonsense.

Not that I'm aware of. I believe the only "hidden" stadium is U.S. Bank Stadium.

they had the blimp views in Madden 12, but took them out, smh.

I am really impressed with the improvement on FirstEnergy Stadium (Cleveland). We put over $100 million in renovations into the stadium last year, and the game last year was a really half hearted attempt to reflect the changes in the building. This year you can really see the improvements, and it looks much more true to life.

Outside out that I still for the life of me cannot figure out why games do not pull in actual corporate partners from the stadium. We don't need 500 EA sports ads around the building, it looks so much better to see Pepsi, or Sherwin Williams, or Nationwide on the signs, really adds another level. But I guess it is similar to tattoos, they say they can't do it, yet it is in NBA and UFC games, they say they can't use company images yet it is in racing games...

No they "can" they don't want to. They don't want to advertise anything other than their game or the NFL( indirectly ) for obvious reasons.

I believe it comes automatically in year two just like the 49ers stadium did in M15.
