Madden NFL 11 and Madden NFL 10 Screenshot Comparison: Donovan McNabb

I think the new facial images look great. Especially with what looks to be a new lighting mechanism. I'm always there to say how Madden needs improvement in gameplay and with the dynamics of football, and I know seeing "just pics" may frustrate some. However, the game itself did improve last year. Things are changing for the better.

I'm of the mind that the game needs an entirely new engine. I thought some of the enhancements last year would prove me wrong but this current game engine has very little in the area of player momentum and situational adjustments. If they can get a handle on that, I'd be very happy with the game.

The new lighting and such look like a huge upgrade but in the end it's yet another year spent polishing a nice looking terd. Seriously, when will EA address the gameplay issues?

Some would say that a new locomotion system (NCAA blog released yesterday, Madden blog on same topic coming this week) is addressing gameplay.

I think he looks magnificent in the Redskins uniform. I'm an Eagles fan.

I also think Andy Reid would look great in a Redskins uniform too. They shouldve sent him with Donny in a package deal.

I love how the '10 pic is always in a dome or dusk with bad lighting, LOL.

I find it truely amazing that some people here cannot see the difference between the two pics, or they say Madden 10 is more realistic. Seriously?

I think the two pics are night and day in terms of face characteristics, shadows, and lighting.

Oh and I love McNabb in a Skins uniform.

They use pics to make the game look new in shiny every year, yet every year we are let down with another super-hyped glitch fest.

Just be careful.

I'd love to see how this translates to a playing view. But it looks great, as usual.

And yeah, the lighting is not consistent from '10 to '11. Reminds me of how Best Buy and them mess with the picture on the cheaper TVs to make the expensive TVs look better. I think they did the same with the Rivers shot.
