GRAPHICS ? OR GAMEPLAY.? Whats really more important.?

[CleveCluby]

To each his or her own, But I am completely surprised that so many people are more concerned about the eye candy. I just don't understand it. It's like buying a custom painted car but the engine is blown or only running on a few cylinders. It just don't make sense to me. To me it is a no doubter, Give me a rust bucket that looks like crap but with an engine that runs smooth and strong. That will be dependable and take me where I need to go.. I can paint it up pretty later. I have read so many post about the GRASS looks great.. Who cares. ?? For myself, Leave the graphics alone. It does not effect the game play. But fix the sliders, penalty sliders, Sim stats. Punt and kick returns, CPU vs CPU. Coaches mode, the draft, and so many other issues that has been on going problems with Madden for years. Eye candy is pretty but fundamental game play is essential. If Madden the New gen for the Ps4 is more about eye candy and not game play issues. They can keep it along with 13 and 25. If it is all about fixing the issues, returning the features that were in 12. I will buy it in a heart beat. But my question is, Why is Eye candy more important than GP to many of you. It blows my mind why anyone would buy the game just because of graphics only or because the grass looks pretty. Amazing..

it's not what we want. it's what the filthy casual gamer wants.

i'll say this though. i'm playing NFL 2k4 right now over 2k5, 2k8 and madden because, despite a few flaws, it's giving me the best games right now. i'm only 12-3 because i'm rolling with a 94 ovr team.

i think, graphically, madden is just fine. if they could have the equipment cling to the player's bodies the right way, fix they're posture and the way they walk, and animate their faces the right way, it'd be fine.

they just need the gameplay and the atmosphere ramped up significantly.

Game-play, NBA 2K already proved this when they dethroned NBA Live.

Graphics and gameplay are one and the same. I don't care if you hand picked the best programmers from across the industry, if you have terrible animations and player models the game will look and feel stupid. Perfect example is the madden running game.

2k has better graphics.

I want both really, but right now all we really have is graphics...Even 10 minutes of watching a live stream, IMO, was not enough to show much of anything...Also feel that, as I posted in another thread, people complaining about no pass pocket have an exaggerated idea of what a pocket is, and also that there is not always a perfect pocket...

I also read a comment on the live stream where someone pointed out that the runningback didn't wait for his lead block (got ahead of his blocker) as if suggesting that was a programming error, but the fact is, NFL players do get ahead of their blockers at times, even Frank Gore...They mis holes or make bad decisions; all players do....I watched the Packers safeties allow a white WR on philadelphia get a toss up 45 yard TD pass that hung till Xmas....I mean really, that happens to pros, but I believe football gamers forget that and expect perfection from players always, and regardless of attributes/skill level...


At time mark of 2:07 is the two packers failing to stop a long TD pass to WR Riley Cooper:

Gameplay should be at the top of the list hands down.
