it doesnt matter, even if the 10 shot was in sunlight, there never was any separate shadows created by the facemask...the bars of the facemask would create no shadow in previous versions...these little shadows add to the realism...in the previous maddens, shot were never dark in the helmet...its like there was a little night light at the top of the helmet always keeping the players face lit

Not to be picky, but i wish the 5 on the shoulder of the '11 screen had some different shades of red where the wrinkles are...it looks silly because there are creases with lights and darks while the 5 is just dark

lighting looks good but still pics doesnt really do a thing for me...i need to see this in motion, especially the OL/DL interaction...

Yes its a nice upgrade from Madden 10, but what is more important is the gameplay! What good is it if it looks good but plays like crap? I want to hear if the running animations have been fixed or that the gameplay has been improved, those things are higher in the priority list IMO.. EA is hyping us up again with the eye candy only to let us down in the gameplay area...

The differences are pretty noticeable now. Madden 11 looks like it really done some upgrading like NCAA 11 did.

Ummm If you don't know were getting a locomotion blog this Wednesday. If you've seen/read the NCAA 11 video/blog the locomotion is night and day against NCAA 10(Worth a watch and read). It's been confirmed that Madden will have the same locomotion system as NCAA 11 and we might be getting a vid also Wednesday. I've read a lot nice things about the NCAA gameplay that we'll hopefully see in Madden.

Plus It's April so you should already know that most high priority things aren't going to be mentioned to much until later in development.

I cant beleive they actually improved the graphics...Great Job!

Now I can definitely tell the difference between these 2 pics unlike the Phillip Rivers pics. I didn't have any problems with the graphics before, but this pic makes me think they will be even better this year.
