Madden NFL 11 Blog: Lighting Improvements

[HittinAgenda]

Wow! This makes me excited for this game again. Great blog!

On another note, I think Phil Frazier should take some pointers from Patrick Cowan on how to present new features to the community. If you break it down like this lighting blog, the franchise mode improvements could actually come across as fairly impressive. His block of text blog made it seem like we weren't getting anything until M12.

Just a couple of pictures and some better examples could have lessened the blow to the franchise-committed gamers.

I'm really glad they improved the lighting. Lighting in Madden always looked dull and dark, the colors didn't pop out like they do in real life. The lighting looks vastly improved from last year. However, it is obvious that the lights need to be brighter on the field. If you look at the real photo of the stadium and then look at M11 photo, you can clearly see that the lighting needs be brighter/better lit on the field in M11.

Rex Ryan looks a bit too thin if you ask me.

The photos of the new lighting looks good. I'm glad it they made some improvements to make things look a little more real. Thanks for posting the blog bro.

looks great, if only progressive lighting made it in this year!

Looks really cool. Looking a lot like Madden 07 which in my opinion was the best looking game from a technical standpoint.

Those do look really nice. Man, if they can add progressive lighting to this system next year.
