Madden fans are really going to miss progressive lighting

[stoncold32]

Not trying to start anything, b/c I'm a Madden fan, too.

But this game is going to SORELY miss the progressive lighting that is used in NCAA.

I dont give EA alot of props, but it is truly unbelievable. It's like you're playing 4 different games the way it changes after each quarter. The way the helmets look when it's partly cloudy 3:30, and beginning to get darker after halftime or so, and the way the grass looks when it overcast vs when the stadium lights turn on. You really do feel you're playing in the place you're playing in, somehow.

There's a pic thread in the NCAA forum if you want to see.

I just dont understand why EA can't make certain things as mandatory shares between the two games. The games should be seamless transitions from one to the other in many ways. It'd really make the customer want to buy BOTH(if they like cfb and nfl) instead of picking and choosing whichever one has certain core features.

Ya progressive lighting is a nice touch i just hope Maddens graphics are close to NCAA.

MLB The Show has progressive lighting and I hardly ever notice the changes. As long as the game has realistic shadows I'll be satisfied.

When I take time to notice progressive lighting I say wow, thats pretty neat, but as long as the game has realistic shadows I can live without progressive lighting. Not saying it wouldn't be a nice touch though.

I just hope they fix the lighting with dome stadiums falcons, vikings etc

Yeah, the show is pretty subtle unless you're batting, then obviously you can see the sky changing. But there's absolutely ZERO way you can play NCAA and not notice it.

NCAA gives it a run for it money, and is in some way better if you can believe it.

So far, I've only played in one domed stadium on NCAA, and that's Cowboys Stadium....but it is very well lit and nicely done on there. I can only imagine Madden is the same way.
