You base this on what is most likely a pre-alpha leaked screen shot in debug mode. Cool.

Didn't know he couldn't have an opinion.

It's a shame the hate that these types of information releases bring out in some of you. Don't even give them a chance.

I'd rather find out now so that I can just put people on ignore sooner rather than later and save myself from reading a lot of vitriolic comments down the road when actual info comes out.

Let's redirect discussion back to the screenshot and the implications for Madden NFL 17; as opposed to indictments of the series in general, posters and ignore lists, or anything else, please and thank you.

Graphics are great, but Madden is the poster child that movement, animations and models are king. Everything in this shot looks so awkward and cringey that it doesn't matter if technically the graphics resembled real life. Just looks fake.

Yeah, and maybe it's just me, but it seems that player models in Madden cannot completely straighten out their legs.

If this is for primetime games, or playoff games, kool, if not then it's pretty wack. I just need some variety in presentation if they're going to do things like this. Definitely don't like the posing. Just keep it simple.

I think they should just build on what they did in 16. IMO trying to go beyond broadcast isn't Tiburon's strong point. Usually doesn't make sense when they go that route.

Everything I know tells me they will keep building onto the foundation they have built the last few years especially last year. As far as player movement and animations go, they are well aware of the issues there. Brian Murray seems to favor the beyond broadcast approach but hopefully if they go down that road, they will make it authentic and not too far out there to where it feels too much like an arcade video game.
