New info!

Also I heard him say “real time lighting” … maybe not in the context I was hoping

From some of the screenshots the lighting looks amazing… hopefully we get some sort of progressive lighting.

That's the main new takeaway. They wanted to get away from "baked lighting" and the newer technology allows for real time calculations. I think he mentioned about having 16,000 player head models. I'm glad they didn't copy Madden legacy generated faces. I do wonder if Madden will copy EA CFBs generated faces

I couldn't get the video to work until I removed my ad-blockers.

This felt awkward to watch. Why is the art director being asked about UM/OSU or signing real head coaches into the game? Quit trying to drag the interview down a path of “what’s your favorite…?” If you’re unsure what role a person does then ask open ended questions like “tell me a little about your process in working on this latest iteration, and how might that be different to what we saw in the past?”

I’m still left not knowing if we have real time lighting progression, dynamic weather or attendance. Field degradation and how that’s handled. All super simple asks that I’m sure could’ve been answered in a setting such as this.
