I watched the Livestream today I'm pretty sure the Chiefs and Steelers game looked washed out and muted also. Whatever the case might be, they sure didn't do themselves any favors by doing a graphics presentation with that lighting because it doesn't do the game justice IMO.

IDK, I think the first livestream just looked more vibrant because of the broncos bright orange jerseys...? And then, there is the problem with the Steelers jerseys not being a deep black... I hate the dusk time lighting. At least the nighttime lighting can't be any worse...

No offense but it looks fine to me. All I see is the sun reflecting off the jersey. I know we dissect these games here but this is a little too nitpicky for me

I'm just amazed (in a bad way) at what I've seen on this stream. The excitement and hope for Madden 15 I felt after the first stream has quickly faded. Dammit EA! Some big negatives seen here:

- Pass coverage is horrendous. Looks as bad or worse than Madden 25 if that's possible.

- Tackling looks worse than previous stream. Lots of 1 on 1 tackles. Not seeing any of the multi-hit tackles or multiple players flying to the ball.

- Lots of bad drops, both by WR's and DB's. They need to manufacture "real" stats by having lots of bad drops, not by having smarter AI.

- Passing inaccuracy seems to have been nerfed down significantly. Not seeing many or any inaccurate passes. FRICK!

I'm off the hype train officially. The demo will get it's chance to win me back, but if that fails I'm sticking with Madden 25 and saving my damn money.

My amateur opinion would be they don't want us to see night games or dome games because they still look like $hit on a shingle! I hope I'm wrong, and they are waiting to blow us away when they reveal CFM features, but I wasn't born yesterday. Also, what evidence do we have that they have improved weather games at all? None. Rain game is constant driving rainstorm, and the same with snow. No variability or anything close to dynamic weather.

Our boy Sim told me he will have the stream uploaded to YouTube later today😃

Yeah, you're right. Just noticed the controllers. I'm at a loss. I think I'll hold the rest of my judgements until the demo, and just keep my fingers crossed in hopes that there is still some tweaking yet to be done before the final build.
