That should come as no surprise considering when it was made and how it was made though. 2K5 looked better from all angles and distances compared to Madden 2005 IMO. We won't even mention the animations, because that would just be cruel.

More detailed.. fair enough.. but, do you not recall the box shape that built the players in 2k?

MLAA is Morphological anit aliasing. In short it smooths things out. Theres good videos posted online so if you watch those youll have a better understanding.

I'm not sure if this is what your talking about, but if you look at the Tampa Bay players they both have two different type of sleeves.

The one on the right looks longer and has black trimming, while the guy on the left seems shorter and tighter on the arm. Don't kno if that's what you mean

He's refering to the way the Cowboys cut the sleeves on their open sleeve (i.e. QB) jerseys. Note how the white portion below the bottom stripe has been removed.

Great screenshot! Along with the OS article and this picture, I have a renewed optimism on Madden this season. Much like many of you, I have boycotted the Madden series for a few years. I bought Madden 10 for PS3 only to be extremely disappointed and underwhelmed. I re-sold it out of spite about a week after I spent $60.

It looks like they are starting to "re-invent the wheel" so to speak, which has been much needed for years.

LOVE the grass stains!!!

Incredible pic and I'm even more excited that we finally have GREEN grass stains instead of the gray, brownish tint we've had for years.

I don't think that the gameplay hangs, but some of the cutscenes did (the closeups on the QB walking to the line for one). What's MLAA, and what does it do for the game?

Never played the 360 version, no. Like I said though, I have never had 11 hang for me, but I know that a few others have said it does.

MLAA is a specific AA, or anti-aliasing technique. It's Morphological Anti Aliasing. To put it simply it smooths out the rough edges so the graphics don't look blocky.
