I think it is more to do with one gen compared to the next. Look at any game that made the leap from one gen to the next and tell me that we didn't see the same improvements. Look at the PSOne version of Madden and the PS2 version. The same leap was there as well.

I hear some of the Tiburon guys are partial to Banana.

Poor DM, if you would only play Winning Eleven you wouldn't be beholden to go down on EA employees anymore.
That shot is really impressive though and now I am excited about the next gen of Madden. I can't wait to see what happens to the gameplay as well. Still won't buy the Xbox or PS3 or Nintenwhatever at launch. Launches are highly overrated. There are almost no good games, accessories are always in short supply, and everything is overpriced. Better to wait a year when the first price drop comes and there are a lot more games to choose from.

Wow, it's closer than I expected to the concept render, though not QUITE there I don't think. Although it's very very zoomed in, and you can't see a lot.
It looks very probably in-game. You can make out hard edges on the nose. Although I guess we can't be sure that this is footage running on a specific next gen machine (aka X360), at least for now. I seriously hope EA wouldn't run an ad showing just concept footage relating to no specific platform's version of the game..

shows that we can still expect Madden players to have the glazed-over look of zombies next-gen. :lol
Exactly what i was thinking! His eyes look completely blank, dull and lifeless. Everything else looks good

When playing do you really need to look deeply into the players' eyes? I am just not seeing how that would matter or be important at all. Just trying to understand how other gamers would find that important.

The eyes are horrible. I'm not impressed.
That's pretty much as expected. The next gen should be capable of delivering a much higher level of detail than anything we've seen to date. However, current gen games will cease to retain their visual appeal in a variety of ways. For example, even when a new DOA title shows up for the 360, I fully believe that Soul Calibur for Dreamcast will still look quite appealing.
This is entirely different from last gen, where games were loaded with an incredible number of severe visual flaws as a result of the hardware. They weren't simply adding more detail this generation, they were cleaning up the image as a whole and smoothing out performance. As with the 16-bit gen, I don't think this current gen will suddenly appear "ugly" after the next round of consoles hit.
One problem I'm afraid we will still be stuck with is poor animation. Even when models finally reach CG levels of detail, poor animation will ruin the overall effect.

I don't know really... I don't play sportsgames. I was just comenting on the blank stare of the football player. It still it looks impressive to me except for the eyes.
That reminds of one friend who went to a meeting with EA a few weeks ago and being told that EA now uses Xbox360 whenever possible in internal meetings. And at first the marketing people kept asking why they were only shown CGs renders of the game.
I don't know if it's a true story or not, but seeing this I'd say this could indeed be true.

Pretty amazing. Just like most people around here, when I first saw those next gen images EA released several months ago I assumed those graphics were some pie in the sky fantasy PR shots but now.....jeez. Hell, even if you're not a fan of Madden you can imagine the possibilties. An RPG with graphics of that quality? Good lord.
Bring on the 360 and PS3. I'm ready.

Here is the EA site for next-gen, http://www.easports.com/games/madden06/nextgen.jsp
Check out the hilarious vids about the old skool Madden games.

Why are people getting so hyped for this? Let's step back and think about it, shall we? When playing, you will mostly see the back of players from a distance. That means the character models will be simplified, the detail in this pic will be LODed out. And what else will we be looking at? Grass. Let's wait and see how the stadiums look, shall we?

True, very true. But the graphics are what will get the casuals/non-sports gamers in.

This looks more realistic to what we will be seeing. You can notice how the detail in the jersey is bumped down (more like one object, not cloth floating on top), and the definition on the arms is down. I think the overall outline of the players will remain pretty consistent to what we see though. Definately expect fully rounded players and such.
The only thing I see being different from the first shot form a year ago to what we see on the one I linked to again is going to be the small things. The grass wont be that dynamic, the hands wont be that detaled, and the face wont be that articulate.

I was thinking the shots are from replays.
