graphics of future maddens

[CYAU357]

once all of the gameplay issues have been addressed, does anyone think we will ever see graphics in madden that will be close to photo realistic? an example of what i am talking about is the animation in dreamworks films or tha animation that was used in avatar? What do you guys think

No, this generation of graphics have hit the ceiling with consoles. It did so probably years ago. PC gaming has technically hit a higher level with the release of DX11 and the mega powerful video cards, but I doubt Madden looks any different until the next-next gen consoles. Since I'm a hardcore PC gamer and stay up to date with stuff like this, I'm guessing I'm close to right. Anybody with more insight correct me.

I was thinking the only thing they can do to fool people into believing better graphics is be add that glossy look. Kinda like the first Project Gotham.

i hear madden 11 is suppose to look like NCAA 11 once they add the new lighting. that is a big upgrade from madden 10 as far as graphics. So there still improving, but i think it will take around 10 years for the graphics to look like were watching a real game. problem is we might have to have bad framerate in order to do so.

Yeah, but thats old stuff that should have already in the game. Maybe an improve to Madden, but progressive lighting has been around for ages and is different from straight graphics.

i'd be content if they just upgraded the grass (to look like the fifa games where you can see individual blades of grass) and the crowd. Crowds are such an eyesore in these games, I can't believe they don't even attempt to make them look better.

The sidelines could definitely use some upgrading also.

its not progressive lighting. its lighting of the overall game. completely different with shadows and stuff like that. makes it look 10x better. just look at NCAA screenshots.

to be honest, I haven't even looked at NCAA this year. I'll check it out.

As said up there, I agree that it won't be until the next upcoming generation of console power to be able to produce a realistic look for madden. Jersey/Pad movement and physics, grass i guess, better and active sidelines/end zones and crowds. Photo realistic textures, shadows, lighting.... yeah, it'll be awhile until we see that lol
