Some New Madden NFL 16 Screenshots

[PVarck31]

Yeah, this needs to get back onto screenshots, and stay there.

It took me a couple of minutes to see that was Gronk because of the way his head was turned. At first I thought it was Scott Chandler. But these screenshots look great. Can't wait for this game to come out.

He brought it up, I responded to it. Besides, if they're as forthright as they present themselves, the answers are there and there are certainly more than plenty of people who've been there long enough to know what's been happening. At least doing that is a lot better than just taking every word they say at face value and never challenging anything, no matter how absurd the excuses they make often are.

And graphics are part of the discussion. There are lots of minor detail issues with graphics that can see in these screenshots. It's all part of the same development and it affects the entire development. The issue is systemic. Lack of attention to detail, and design decisions that focus on everything other than just getting it right to simulation, and I'm not even talking about major things. I'm talking about basic things like colors. For whatever reason they've gone off to the point that even fooling around with colors makes sense for them to do. Good that they're addressing it for 16, but something is very wrong for it to have ever been an issue to begin with, and that alone doesn't give me much hope for them to get other aspects corrected without having to be complained to a lot first. Some things you just have to able to get right without that.

Just saw this screenshot.

This is probably an incredibly picky thing for me to be pointing out, but it doesn't quite look like Gronk's eyes are tracking the ball. His head definitely is, but his eyes look like he's looking to the right of and beyond it.

That said, that we're at the point technologically that I can even be remotely concerned about a player's eye balls tracking something this is pretty exceptional, and this is not an angle that anyone is going to see any anything but the dedicated instant replay camera, so I'm not terribly concerned about this. Just something that bugged me looking at this picture.

In totality I think the game really looks good this year.

You're right he isn't tracking the ball with his eyes. Didn't even notice that. They couldn't fix this in a patch could they?

They could patch that in, sure, maybe, if they decide that's a priority thing to patch in.

Will they? Doubtful. Again, I'm being super picky. No one plays the game from a camera angle with this tight a shot on an individual player; really you have to go into the dedicated instant replay mode and stop the game to ever get a shot like this.

There are plenty of other more important things to worry about, IMO.

Depending on where he's at in the process of the catch, he could just be looking away after securing it already.
