The First Madden NFL 16 Screenshots Look Amazing

Madden School writes, "The flurry of news regarding Madden 16 continues today. EA Sports has released the first screenshots of Madden NFL 16 and they are breathtaking. Of course we all know that just because some early screenshots look great doesn’t mean much, but it does gives us hope that Madden 16 will be much improved."

Looks incredible. I hope these visuals translate to gameplay and arent just super lit photo mode models. As they finally look real and as if they are using some of the procssing power of the current gen machines.

Lets hope all of the great modes from last gen are reinstated with some better presentation that makes it truly feel like a Sunday broadcast. If so, it should finally bring Madden into the next generation and be the football game fans have dreamt about for ages.

Looks exactly the same as 15 to me...

[WickedLester]

Thank God, I thought I was the only one.

which looked like 14
which looked slightly better than 13
which looked like 12
which looked like 11
which looked slightly better than 10
etc etc.
The gameplay was about as different as the graphics too.
I hope people aren't still buying these rehashes every year for updated rosters..I havent bought a madden since 12 and before that, 08.I'm good with 2 maddens per gen. So I might get this one, but the next one i get will be madden 2020.

they look good until you play the game because the camera pulls back and the level of detail isn't as good. what they need to fix are the animations and clipping.

Screenshots for Madden rarely translate to gameplay. I've been finding that out for the last 10 years. Madden 2005 was the last great Madden.

Madden 2005 was the last Madden that had to go up against competition

Seeing your baby born in front of your eyes is something that is amazing. Climbing to the top of one of the tallest mountains in the world and looking out at the world below you is amazing.

Can we stop saying game graphics are amazing, especially when they're really not? This looks like slightly better than the same thing we had last year. That's not amazing. That's just standard progression for these games in this day and age.

[SpinalRemains138]

Adjectives are relative.

Something like your kid being born is obviously a superlative. What's going to compete with that?

Saying a game has amazing visuals does not mean it is the greatest moment ever. It means it has amazing visuals, which it does.

[Christopher]

@SpinalRemains138: So, I'm going to assume you were "surprised" by "how good" these graphics are?

Honestly, is anyone at all surprised by the quality of graphics nowadays when we see so much better in engine demos?

[Brooklynbully123]

Same looking madden

[Kane22]

i must be seeing different cause it looks just like last year's......

[Psychotica]

Queue in the NFL 2K5 was better bs..

[DoublePlusGoodGames]

I saw a typo in your post. It should have said, "NFL 2K5 "IS" better" and then you can strike the "bs" part.

YOU'RE WELCOME!!!

[Smok91]

You clearly didn't play 2K5.

[Psychotica]

I have a copy sitting right here..

[LexHazard79]

Lol..you mad a 11yr old football game is still better!?!
Que the Charming shit paper.

[iceman06]

Without NFL 2K5, Madden probably wouldn't be half the game that it is today. EA has been cherry picking the hell out of it's features since it released...and somehow STILL can't quite get it right.

[OrangePowerz]

I think in the picture Brady is checking the ball if it's deflated enough :D

[LexHazard79]

Brady is still the best! Or did you noT watch the second half of he AFC championship game and SB? No deflate issues there...

[sourav93]

If you're referring to the screenshot on the website, then I'm sorry to tell you, but that's Gronkowski :P

Brady is still the best!

[Shineon]

I can't belie there allowed to buy exclusive rights to the NFL that there should be illegal.Im tired of only having one football game

[FourtyPoundSteak]

I buy Madden only because its the only football game on the market. This looks just like last year. Players never look like actual people. 2k basketball scales theirs models really well.

[iceman06]

This has been an issue for awhile with Madden. The scale of players just seems off. It seems like they have just been re-using assets from 10 years ago (though they have said that they have "redesigned" the graphics).

[Smok91]

There's no doubt that they paid attention to detail and are improving upon that. It won't matter if the animations are smooth and AI isn't improved upon.

[BillytheBarbarian]

These could easily be from madden 08. Are people really thinking ea does anything to fix this broken engine? Hell no. They let the sheep buy it every year. Compare the features they're advertising to Madden 06..."throw the ball where only your receiver can get it". Dejavu anyone? Madden is the biggest joke in gaming.

[sourav93]

Really? Madden 08? Man, the trolling/fanboyism/ignorance is strong with this one...

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

Looks just like Madden 15 to me.

[Brooklynbully123]

Only thing new is the rosters same o madden

[Crazay]

I wonder if the new visual will allow us to see Tom Brady and his Deflatriots cheat in HD. Thast would be neat.

[RaTaTaT]

I'll wait intill it drops in ea access. Just like I did with madden 2015

[dkp23]

Why those screens matter? You don't play the game with that onthe screen. In the end the animation sucks in madden. It's a joke actually.

They should be working in real gameplay animation vs what they out in a trailer and screenshots.

[iliimaster]

this looks no different from who knows how long ago...makes my stomach turn more slop

[Vipre77]

Newton looks like a bloated pig in those pics and Luck's posture just looks odd. And those arms? WTF is up with those things? They look all weird.
