Hopefully we get plenty of footage from the E3 EA event.

This is a crazy reaction to a picture Kind of reminds me of my daughter and her friends. "Oh look, those shoes are ugly, I can't believe she would wear those." Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

It's half-*** in my opinion.. they go to lengths to make it appear realistic but use old crap from 10yrs ago. Watch a game today and point out a player that uses that equipment. You can't.

Imagine if Call of Duty only used the same 4 guns for every game they made... same premise

But once again, we don't know that there is no new equipment. In fact, the way the community has demanded new equipment over the past couple of years I would be absolutely shocked if they didn't update it.

You can't just assume there is no new equipment based on this screenshot.

Right. Having done pre-release work on NBA I can promise that art can come in verrrrrrrrrrrry late. No guarantee that there is new equipment, but a screenshot from mid-April certainly does not prove to me that there is no new equipment in the game, especially shoes.

This is usually why they are pretty tight-lipped about pre-release stuff. Because of threads like this.

I go as far as to argue that not adding their own touches is a disservice to the audience.

The fact that we are an active participant in the game, i.e., controlling players on the field, makes me personally want presentation elements that reflect our involvement in the action, rather than ones that mirror games on TV where we are, of course, purely spectators.

Definitely understand that perspective. I would rather control what I see on tv, you'd rather have a more personal on field experience.

I'd like to see Tiburon have options for both, rather than trying to have this all in one mash up.

Doesn't look true to broadcast. Why can't Madden replicate what we see on TV on sundays?

As for equipment, normally what you see is what you get. Screens are very early but I can't remember a time we actually got something we didn't see in the screen shots.
