Thats what I'm talking about, hell yeah.

nice image but all the images shown so far have been selectively atmopheric to almost suggest in-engine cut-scene type sequences (replay?) I mean, that's hardly a game shot. I think when we see the game engine, then we'll have a true gauge of next gen visuals

Isn't there something else you could be doing right now? Like writing letters to Miyamoto or shopping for swords on QVC?

You can't be serious.
I want to see this shit in motion; close-up screenshots don't show me shit. The majority of the game's (hopefully) graphical impressiveness will come from stuff like animation and lighting/shadowing...stuff you can't really see or fully appreciate in still screenshots. You could take that M2006 model and as amazing as it may be, give it poor animation and lighting and it wouldn't even look as good as current-gen football models with the best animation and lighting possible on current hardware. So really, these screenshots barely tell us shit. I mean, is it really a surprise that the models would have a lot more detail?
oh, and when I say animation, I also mean detail of animation and whatnot. Not just the fluidity of the players movements, but whether or not shit like hair realistically blows in the wind, their uniforms folding and creasing and moving realistically with realistic self-shadowing and whatnot. It really could go either way judging from these pictures. That's why I fucking hate when some graphically "HUGE" game is unveiled with only screenshots and no videos. Fuck you EA.

Visual target? Sigh...oh well. I'll take what we see soon with a grain of salt.

I don't get the joke, but it's obviously funny because other people get it. Damn, I'm going to have someone explain it to me.
Let me guess, there is some sexual innuendo? 
Well I was thinking that the character model is modelled with those folds and that it would remain like that all the time, rather then being dynamic and changing when the character animates. It would be great if it were part of the animation, things would look a lot more lifelike if that were the case.

wow looking at that screenshot of NFL2K5, I'd be surprised if we cant get something close to these renders by next gen. 
It's funny you guys are fapping over that ESPN pic,when if you look at how the guys are animated you see how much of a joke the game is in that department.Look at the guy trying to tackle LT,look at the guys in the background running :lol
Anyways,enough with that bullshit.That new Madden screen is sexay!

The other pic you're referring to is CG.

It should be, all they would have to do is add more polygons and animate them by hand.
Some things I've noticed,Strahan no longer has his number on the front of his helmet plus the facemask is white now instead of gray,but other than that they look about the same...and the two things I listed are very minor things that would require no power at all except a quick color swap :lol Although I'm not sure what color their facemask is in real life to begin with...
I'm also guessing the commercial will be based around this same game,which sucks because I want to see different teams and players But I'll take what I can get of course

I understood what you meant, it's just the way you said it that was funny. No sexual innuendo at all.
It's just that you stated something that was 100% obvious. So I threw some sarcasm in there for fun.
And I agree, I hope the equipment reacts dynamically. That would be very sweet. I'm interested in seeing what they can do with basketball uniforms. I'm stick of NBA Live and the player wearing shorts that make the players look like they are wearing big cardboard tubes around their legs.

Just make a cloth simulator but that would eat into a nice chunk of the CPU power. About ten plus people on screen with complicated cloth simulation that you will probably barely notice at any point while playing? I would rather the power be put into something better like gravity on the players and better collision detection.Ramirez said:
Guys, I'd rather the framerate be fast, the animation be top notch, and the lighting be awesome. I could give a crap if the jersey is crumpling correctly as the player moves, or if the tartar is gathering realisticly in the massive, cavernous gap between Straghan's teeth. I'll never see that level of detail.

I can't wait to see how this game is animated, although the one animation I wish EA would fix is the damn spin move. It's the only one that makes me wonder "Who the hell in real life moves like this!?" Seriously, we see the videos of EA doing mo-cap every year, but have we seen someone doing the mo-cap for that weird spin move? This is a mystery that MUST be solved!

With the CPU power of the PS3 I dont think cloth physics is out of the question.

Props to all those saying they'd like to see the power used to power better gameplay as much as or more than they'd like to see new graphical touches! Throw me in that camp.
I have a feeling that in a few days, we're about to get a short rolling-demo/video of a guy tackling some other guy. The pictures look like they're making up one sequence. If there's no footage of what an actual next gen game will look like, I'll personally be disappointed. At least until E3.
