I'm not sure what you're looking at, but just the running animations alone look next gen. Not to mention the reactions of players like when he got the stiff arm and Chris Johnson stepping around his lineman, mere inches from their feet. Not to mention the crowd, each doing their own thing. I wish the video was in 1080p, so we could see it clear, but the visuals look fine to me.

I agree with you, tho the at the very end when is foot doesn't clip through his team mates leg was kinda impressive. Overall tho, not really wowing.

they don't have to work hard on their games they have no competition

Target has a Buy 2 get ONe sale for PS4 games???

Sure they have, just not since EA Sports got the NFL licensing deal.

Sports games back in the day absolutely were some of the best looking games for the respective era.

There used to be regular big jumps between EACH VERSION.

HUGE JUMPS if you went from Genesis/Snes to Saturn to N64 to PC.

Every year the PC version kept getting better and better.

But something happened around 1999 or so that started slowing it all down. Since the exclusive license, they've been doing almost nothing.

This does at least seem like a decent jump, so it's a buy.

I believe the reason the graphics are stil subpar is because instead of using the PC as a constantly leading edge that they can pull from, instead they did away with the PC version and sat on their laurels for 7 years.

They weren't out there pushing boundaries, and now all of a sudden they have the big jump of power and don't know what to do with it.

But at least the previous Madden article focused on the animation and logic differences in the game, and that plus the mediocre at best graphics bump (from a pretty low level) is still enough for me to purchase the game.

But if it looks the same next year....

even there you've got like 5 different faces and character being clones infinitely in the crowd . Could have at least added color variation for clothes , skins etc

I’m pretty sure Madden games sell like crazy at launch still.

It's the CoD of Sport Games with FIFA
