I wish they'd just release some official images those are some crappy caps, and those player ones dont even look they are from the e3 thing, but from an older test

Seriously, how great is this game going to look with 5-6 more months of development?
 
has there been any news on pes being carried over to 360?

the only time it's been mentioned is in an interview with allard and ballmer, they talk about their role as a first party, that they don't need to make sports games because they have ... *long list of games including PES*.

*starts bleeding from pores in anticipation*
 
Madden looks prerendered and fifa looks like cheap plastic and has a blurry crowd. Well whatever, its not like I play sports games.

so positive reactions then? i mean besides the bad angle and blurry stadium shot in those caps

Definitely. There are things about the Alexander model that just don't look finished, but I was expecting these pics to be close to the final product. If you're saying that they don't match what you've recently seen, I can't wait to see what they look like months from now.

If I end up playing Madden and there are 22 models out on the field that look like Alexander, my expectations will have been exceeded...as long as the animation matches it.

well done microsoft you just got an early adopter
 
Is it an HDR thing? The screenshots look plastic where as the actual photo looks... well, like an actual photo. The only major difference I note though on a conscious level is really how much more bright the glare is on certain spots in the photo as apposed to the screenshots.
 
Wow...looks fantastic...i just hope the 360 version has all the features that the current gen game has.

Blurry stadium shot actually looks better than the player model. That player model doesn't impress me at all, even though I realize they are nowhere near completion.....it just seems like a slightly pumped up version of what they have this gen, but with less detail on the arms.

OMGWTFBBQ NOT NEXTGEN OMG OMG!!!

Seriously, you have to be kidding. :lol
 
The stadiums is impressive, with 50-60,000 polygonal fans in the seats with convincing reactions would make the atmosphere jump through the roof.

I hate you EA.. Im going to very likely buy more than one of their games at launch.. boycot over :(
 
Nathan, if you are really that upset about it you could always post your own pics and movies here. We won't tell anyone.
 
Shockwave at TXB says that no cameras were allowed in the demo room. He also says that there was no 11 on 11 footage shown.

[puts EA back on shit list]

Today we got to see Madden 06 IN-GAME and I must say that while it doesn't look just like the commercial it actually looked BETTER.

It's a bit hard to explain, but to me, the commercial looked too stylized and the characters almost looked more like superheros than human beings.

Behind closed doors at EA's booth we got to see a demo of Madden 06 running on the 360 engine that was not just some kind of commercial or target demo animation but in-game, real-time motion.

The detail, sharpness and sheer crispness of the image quality was insane! We got to see how much detail was in the character models, as well as the stadiums and it was unreal. You could view in up VERY close to the player's face and see everything from stubble on their faces to inconsistencies on their skin such as birthmarks and whatnot on players. Shaun Alexander #37 for the Seattle Seahawks was the character being shown and you could see birthmarks on the back of his neck. There is even sweat that rolls down the skin...it's almost so detailed it's gross.

Now, I will say we didn't get a chance to actually see a full 11 man team on each side of the field, but from what we did say it actually looks like EA is kicking some serious booty on what they have coming in the next gen.

We also got a look at Need for Speed Most Wanted in action, and I must say of their entire lineup I'm wanting that one more than any. It was SICK.

Tiger Woods was also nice looking, but not as impressive as either Madden or NBA Live, which had characters that looks just as highly detailed as Madden.

FIFA looked very nice as well, and basically using the same engine style as the rest of EA's sports lineup as far as we can tell so far.

The only things we did notice that weren't in place were some of the more advanced shadowing effects and some of the extra lighting effects that are still being worked on. The framerate wasn't quite up to par yet, but mainly due to the fact that the final compressions were not implemented.

But overall, we were totally surprised by just how good the game's visuals were.

We are hoping that all these visuals stay on target and come together with the gameplay or it's all for not.

So yea, I know there's a lot of negative feelings about EA, and believe me, I'm with you...but EA did a good job of getting my attention today.

I just wanted to share...

Congrats! :) And to know that they are STILL working on alphas gives me much hope that Madden 360 will be all that! 22 Players looking like that with nice annimation, great lighting, 5.1 surround and in glorious 720P....my god, what has the world come to....

YES!!!! I have season tickets so I will be looking at that stadium very closely! I will let you know if you got the shadows down right. With the weirdness of our ceiling/roof and windows at the top of the stadium, it will be interesting to see your rendition of it.
