Why have EA not posted one video of their new games that has the kind of relatively static cameras that an actual video game has to have in order to be playable?

They're choosing deliberate cut-scene/arty shots in order to impress us. I want to see games. How much do you suppose youre gonna get to see a fore-focused shot of a spalding ball on the fucking floor?
That's nothing new. Especially for games early in development.

Looks like no one else saw it this morning :(

Well, they'll have more draft preview shows later tonight so check it out. the commercial played like 40 mins into the show.
 
i have some suggestions for Candlestick park (FUCK YOU MONSTER PARK!)


1. in years past, there didn't seem to be much depth past the endzones. it was very dead and flat. i don't know if you can control this or not, but take a look at this real life photo which shows an excellent example of how it SHOULD look from this angle:

candlestick%20025.jpg



i think this is (overall) a problem with most of the stadiums in the game. i dont really get the feeling that i'm playing in a big stadium. when i go see the 49ers in person, the stadium is this huge larger than life field that just looks incredible. when i play it in the game i dont get that dramatic feeling.


2. fix the grass. i don't know if it can be done on the current generation machines or not, but grass in san francisco isn't the same as grass in carolina or wherever. all the stadiums have a different "feel" to them grass-wise. it's a small complaint but it still kind of bugs me

3. one last thing, i dont like how the shadows are cast over the stadium in the game. howcome dog shit stadiums like texas stadium in dallas get the nice shadow treatment, but not in san fran? i'll see if i can dig up some other photos but check this one out:

3com104_small.jpg


see that nice shadow on about 1/3rd of the field? that should be in the game. now i dont know if you deal with the lighting and what not, but its a problem


i will end by saying if there is one area in graphics (besides still screen shots) that i felt the NFL 2kx series had on madden it is the stadiums. like i said in the first post, you want the stadiums to feel huge and be full of life and be unique. i think the 2kx series did this pretty well. and while madden 05 and years past have been technically very accurate on the 49ers stadium, i feel like just a few small improvements could go along way to making it feel better.

just my thoughts though!
 
one last thing: PLEASE CHANGE THE BANNERS!


i will personally write out banners for all 32 teams FREE OF CHARGE for EA if you want, but "1st and Goal!" "Got Game?" or "not in our house!" ain't CUTTIN THE MUSTARD!
 
I wonder if nathan is responsible for the grass rendering? It would be nice to have some blades of grass this gen. :)
 
well, it's not the blades that i want, but the entire look and feel is different from stadium to stadium. i've been on the field in san francisco AND in san diego (both grass fields), and they felt completely different to run on. but in the game they are pretty much identical.

I doubt if they will put that much work into nailing the different type of grass looks. Most people probably couldn't tell the difference.
 
you so have nothing to worry about on all of the above ;)

and to DCX i didnt do the georgia dome.

I modeled vikings, cowboys, texans, titans, niners and textured texans and niners. among other things.

:( Hey add some Gaffers to the free agent list, at least have some of our last names and first names in there so when we create a player the annoucer says our names ;)

Can we run through the stadium walls during plays? During extra point attempts in Madden Xbox1 games I always try to run as far as I can through the walls and through the crowd to see how far I can get :lol
 
I wonder what there reason is for not showing more Madden media,I initially thought it was so the sales of the current gen wouldn't suffer,but with them showing Live that doesn't seem to be the case =\

Cause they can tease us all they want due to them having the NFL License. The don't own the NBA License so it'll be more media of that before the game drops.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense... :lol

Madden fan sites were told be EA that they are on a media release schedule for their football games. Right now its the NCAA part of the schedule.

Or... and I know this might sound crazy. They are concentrating on pushing NCAA 2006 to the public since that game comes out first. Notice all the videos lately for the game? I know that sounds logical but I am sticking with it. Once NCAA comes out then I would expect Madden media out the whazoo, for the current gen games. Then after that comes out and EA gets a couple million current generation Madden 06 sales in it's pocket then you will start seeing more Next Gen Madden content as the Xbox 360 launch gets closer. To show a ton of next-gen footage of Madden now makes no business sense at all.

The NBA Next Gen stuff is nothing different then what we saw in the E3 video, just threw in some closeups.

I dug the relflection effect on the court they had in the build I played. I hope we release some screens of our game soon


thats all you liked? Care to add on about gameplay? or animations?

Bah, I don't get it. Xbox 360 comes out in five months. Why the hell can't we see some IN GAME PICTURES of the games? I don't want the static arty pictures, I just want to see what it looks like in motion. :\

Don't you know, this is the new camera angel available for NBA Live 06 :lol
 
Please VC start showing anything from NBA2K6 on X-Box 360... GEEZ!

I bet the game will look incredible from game mode view... but EA sucks at player models...

I dont think we got it the first 34892349 times you asked for NBA2K6 media. How about emailing them instead of posting in NBA Live threads for NBA2K6 media :lol

Jesus EA, ditch the sweat! It looks horrible! Tayshaun looks like he just got out of the burn unit in the intensive care ward.

Yeah, this screen is definitely the least impressive of the batch. It seems his face and neck are completely different than his shoulders. It could also be that the screen is so small, maybe on a bigger screen you can see the intricacies in this shot.
 
They should really try to match the back and front textures on the shirt shoulder joints. It's not that hard, I promise.

I can't friggin wait!. I'm seeing a pattern in these pics, they are showing 2 of the skinniest guys in the league, I wonder if they're doing it to show the detail in the muscles?
 
I don't know...i have always hated the way Live moves...no matter how good it might look....i think i'll stick to the 2K series as long as they can make it look next gen.

I'll look into it, wish I could have done that one


No you don't. Reliant Stadium is the best stadium in the NFL, tell the haters!!!!

Actually, I am looking forward to seeing Reliant done right in a video game finally.
 
Kleegamefan said:
Wow....the animation looks great....if the game actual plays that smoothly during gameplay that will be a major advance IMO.....

Agreed and I have never been a big fan of NBA Live. Plus they finally decided to enlarge the claustrophobic courts.

Poor Pistons can't buy a win. :D
