PhatSaqs - how'd you find that? Was that buried in the EA page? It's not directly linked on their webpage I can find anywhere.
 
The lighting on it looks spectacular, but the real time blurring and depth of field thing makes me want to call bullshit. That has got to take a helluva lot of computing power.
 
i'm wondering about the people who keep saying they're not impressed with the next gen screen shots, and how they can't see how things can get any better. my question is..how many of you need glasses?

the last time i looked out my window..it didn't look anything like these screenshots. they can't even grasp realism in movies yet..but you people seem to think that a 2nd generation ps3 game is going to do the job. what are you people smoking?

and to those who aren't impressed with the shots, you must be sharing with the others. last i checked..those are a huge improvement over any xbox game.

what he said. I'd like to see them be able to focus on one player while the other who's also next to him (just in frame) manages to be blurred - still staged looking.

With Phatsaqs image though... its starting to come down to less impressive levels too. The body/pants are less cgish now. I think a lot of the greatness to the look actually comes from the very subdued colours.

They look like they're playing in a nuclear fallout.
 
i'm not sure what you people want. the game looks fucking incredible so far. look at the packed sidelines, the awesome snow effects, the wrinkles on the pants...

maybe i am seeing something that isn't too much to get impressed about cause im a diehard football fan, but if these pics "aren't impressive" then i'd like to be unimpressed for the rest of my life

I think you're looking for this.
 
Well, I noticed that these screens have generated too much hype, and I went to work. There seem to be subliminal messages in the pics, and so far I'm making progress. Notice the out of place snowflake if you will... now super zoom and see what the evil empire has done.

it seems like with every pic they are zooming out a little, i imagine we will see a full team by friday
 
I just want realtime gameplay footage.

And why snow? Show me playing in the rain to impress me. I want to see the water running down everything and splashing like wild, like the opening cinema to Tekken 5.

if characters are this detailed in a football game

fighting games are gonna be retarded.

forget fighting games. Imagine Devil May Cry with those graphics :o

Thats why im calling BS the jump is too huge, graphics too clean...
 
The lighting on these screens is out of this world. I would like to test anyone who says they aren't impressed with these screens to take a decent 3D model and light/texture it to look this good. Good luck.

Because Madden has this level of detail, doesnt mean a game like Devil May Cry 3 will. But its not that huge of a jump... its totally within reason, namely for a sports game.
 
wow, each new shot looks progressively better and better. this is rediculously awesome, and far better then i had anticipated. and somehow, i doubt EA is even pushing the graphical envelope with this.

i love the facial expression, the crazy lighting, the sidelines (i hope they arent 2d, but the way some of the players seem to repeat has me thinking they are)

Why? Screens 1 and 3 have graphical problems that plague this generation. I wasn't expecting to see them next gen.
They also look about 10x better than this gen.... and this is just a launch (or near launch) game. Little problems will be ironed out.
 
I would think that making a jersey act realistically would be a pretty simple thing to do on the next consoles...

Visual Concepts have done it THIS GENERATION with their latest basketball title.

Which is why I wish they had a stab at football games...it would look absolutely stunning!

What?Jerseys were pre crumpled and shit in ESPN NFL,it wasn't real time.In ESPN NBA they bounced up and down,thats about it...not to mention every ESPN game looked like it was made of clay...

But holy sweet mother of christ,that pic is....A-W-E-S-O-M-E...please don't hype me up for nothing Tiburon :( The pants are just unreal,it looks just like the cloth that they really wear,I'm in awe...fuuuuuck I want to see more now!
 
jesus that pic is incredible, i cannot wait for this system and it will be bought on launch day. this is stunning and if the game looks somewhat close to this, imagine what it will look like hdmi outed to a big sony lcd.

Cant wait for a hockey game with these kind of graphics. And with less players on screen it could look even better!!! :eek
That's never seemed to be the case with hockey as far as the less players equals better looking game logic.
 
I don't even like football, but if it looks this good I'll pick it up anyways. Good luck Sony and Nintendo in trying to get people to hold off on next gen...

Funny you should say that since a game from this gen...

..has more realistic looking faces than in Madden 2006 for a next gen console. But there is a point in hockey games having more advanced stadiums than football games. To do the ice requires lots of effects, the skate marks, the glass reflections even, the reflections on the ice, plus all of the shadows. But still, the players look wicked despite all this. Hockey has the benefit of having far less players on the ice. At the same time, it must be noted that the players on the bench have nearly the same amount of detail, just a far heavier LOD difference in the lower bodies.

Compare the real face (bottom left) to the virtual face. It's VIRTUALLY the same! ahah-cough

Can't wait till NHL 2K6!! Best looking sports game ever? I think so! (especially considering the great job they did on the graphics of MLB).

OUCH! Looking back at the new Madden shots it looks like a cartoon!
 
Stupid me just realized that all these Madden pics were 16:9 meaning that the HD revolution is truely upon us and all that jazz.
 
:lol At all the people who are claiming this isn't impressive. Truly pathetic.

How about a top ten list of bashes.

1. The arms are blocky.
2. I see stray polygons on the nose, I swear I do.
3. Is that a polygon I see on the helmet. This blows.
4. They still can't get rid of that deadly stare.
5. Sure it looks ok but wait till Sony unveils its exclusive to the ps3 and the psp and this is a big fu to all those xbots that badmouthed them.
6. I found this quote on this EA pr page. If you zoom in it says "Suckers! We got the nfl, we're releasing the same game every year from here on out."

That's all I got.
