EA released the following 720p-images from their american footy-game Madden NFL 06. The game is beautiful in-motion, and I'm not sure if the following images make the game justice.
I agree manager, but I dont like how the textures on the players are really high res yet the ground textures and building textures are so low res. It kind of craps on the all around experience. Like in the Mike Vick screen, the player portal with the Falcons logo on it, its muddy from that far out. Thats just pathetic. Also, players should be wearing long sleeve shirts under their jerseys in the cold condition games, and the fans should have coats. These are small gripes I know, but when EA promises an authentic experience, I want it.
im not expecting nothin for this madden im waiting more for the madden 2007 thats going to be the big madden because is going to be only for the next generation console and is not going to be a shity port
Kev5890:
Yeah, those direct-feed videos where they zoomed in to the pitch looked kind of crappy. I think the vid we had up here (until EA wanted it down), where we got the "right" camera angle, looked much better.
On the other hand, I've only play NFL Street and know little about the sport. The animations in my favorite sports-game PES are top-notch, and I never expect any other game to have as good animations.
Madden is one of the only games that made a significant change in graphic quality in the past month. Most of the other 360 games look the same since they've been announced.

The madden 2006 Xbox 360 is a port of the xbox vercion, is the same game with polish graphics and a different interface, seriusly this game isnt make in a next generation console is just a purt of the las console for this one
I looked at the vids, then I looked at the screens, and then did it again. The sad truth is these are the same player models, these are the same animations and the same game. Only difference is the texture mapping. If you are a person of low-expectations you would probably praise this as a next gen madden, but to anyone who has done a lick of graphic design or video game work its obviously just a port . Pretty much the same as the Xbox version of Splinter Cell vs the PS2 version. I also would'nt hold out hope that the Maddens to come will be any different seeing that the last gen consoles will remain viable platforms for atleast 2-3 more years.
Where is the self soft shadowing (like in the target render)?
Where is the real grass (like the targer render)?
Where is the dynamic/advanced animation (like Endorphin)?
Why do the jerseys and pants have prebaked folds?
Why do a lot of the guys keyed into the same exact stance? Why are there no footprints in the snow to the WRs and CBs? Where is the dynamic and individual wear-and-tear markings, blood, dirt, grass stains on each individual player?
The stadiums are beautiful and Madden games play well in general. But with cut features (ditto NBA Live) and no real advancement in gameplay and seemingly slapped together/upgraded Xbox/PC engine I am NOT impressed.
