Madden NFL 25 Next Gen Video - True Step & Enhanced Graphics (QJB)

[newtonfb]

look at this....now i dont care about small things usually but last gen in the crowd we had cutouts and at times just about 10 guys all doing the same thing.

Well this whole "crowd is alive" and whatnot is BS. Basicially EA is telling me they made about 10 fans again and just generated them throughout the stadium all each with animation. So your going to see the same guy doing the exact same thing. They couldnt take an hour or two more and add 20 more fans in doing there own animations? What a joke
I just circled the guys wearing 69 which are 7 in this small frame.

Did you notice the players moving on the sidelines when you ran towards them or did they just stand there lifeless?

The pass rush is improved and I did not have much time to throw the ball when playing the game on All Madden. You have to step in your throws too get the right velocity and accuracy on it or it will be batted down or intercepted. There seemed to be some interaction between the players on the sideline, but I was not paying attention that much to it. The commentary is much improved and they have more dialogue for every team. I did not get to see the half time show because they wanted us to rush and only focus on playing the game in two different segments.

I could care less about crowds but if you call it out in your own blog then you better deliver.

JPF you compared a wiped camera shot (madden) to a game play screen (NBA2K) that is not a comparison. Feel free to capture any game play shot from the video posted and compare to prove your point.

Dang look at that 2K screen!!! I did a double take! Looks straight off my tv!

Hummm so from today's Video maybe that's how the fans look during celebrations since the celebrations are cuts scenes and not in game real time footage

Jp not a good comparison the only thing similar is they are both crowds of people, well in madden only men, 2ks is far better.

All I want is the animations to start at different times and the jerseys to be more varied.

I couldn't care less about males vs females or ages etc. I just want the crowd to look engaged and alive, which is not hard work.

Most crucial for the experience is the sound recording and cues of these audience sounds. They need to fix the levels too, so that commentators have the audience sound almost mixed into their dialogue.

Commentators need more emotion in their voices too and they need to get louder over big plays etc. not only in intensity but actual volume.

Agree or disagree but either way there is no wrong or right. I look at Madden and see a clear visual improvement...I look at 2k14 and see the same level of visual improvement. neither one are stunning but both are very good and what I expect for NG.

Sorry dude but nothing in Madden is looking like this.
