Madden NFL 17 News Post

An Early Look at Madden NFL 17 Presentation

12:09 PM - April 22, 2016 by Steve_OS

Damarious Randall, cornerback for the Green Bay Packers, posted this Madden NFL 17 screenshot, (which has recently been deleted) showing off some of the new presentation in the game this year.

It's obviously early in the cycle, so a lot of details won't be shown off. Either way, it's Madden NFL 17 news and we are going to post it.

It was around this time last year the Madden hype train started, as they gave the release date with plenty of details on the game released in May.

I know it doesn't mean much but this is the stuff that makes me mad about madden "destroy your opposition", just talk about sim real life football, this seems like they added some type of conquest mode.

It's called marketing man every company uses it, plus you have to remember that just because marketing is targeting the people who aren't sim fans first, doesn't mean the developers have to.

Marketing 101 needs to reach at least 6 million customers.

One thing I found in searching for that cleat picture as well is that I hope they continue to improve the lighting and colors. The two most memorable screenshots from Madden for me are these:

and

Spoiler

No doubt that Madden is currently a beautiful game. But I think it lacks that extra something and consistency in all scenarios. The Blacks aren't dark enough, the whites aren't bright enough and the colors just don't pop enough IMO.

This is from M15 and the time of day is different so it's not a perfect example but:

But here's a couple more screenshots from M12 that look great color wise:

Probably getting my hopes up, but man that kinda sounds like either a new game mode, or maybe even an expansion team thing.

I'm tempering my curiosity by saying now it is probably neither.

They need to improve the audio quality or up the audio volume, since the audio was pretty low on the Xbox One version of Madden NFL 16, and my TV was at 10 on the volume meter

Highly likely it's just placement holder info with no real connection. But the first thing I thought of when I read "the thrill of managing your own football team and the power to destroy your opposition" was some kind of MUT mode where if you beating someone you get there cards or they lose them type thing lol.

I don't see how hard it is to match game broadcast to Live broadcast. All this fluff means nothing if it's not "Real" or feels "real"

More hinting at new equipment

@Mrolnick91
@EAMaddenNFL @Equipment_Guru @RexDEAFootball Should we start an equipment correction list already or what? C'mon guys...

@RexDEAFootball
@Mrolnick91 @EAMaddenNFL @Equipment_Guru @emesola Can you at least wait until we put out some 17 screenshots?

@emesola
@RexDEAFootball @Mrolnick91 @EAMaddenNFL @Equipment_Guru don't worry equipment will be on point [emoji1419]

Nice, really getting pumped for 17 screens now

What is this crap? Teams don't pose for pictures like this IRL.

Their confidence definitely has me intrigued, but I am still skeptical because it has been totally ignored for so long it is hard for me to believe they will get it right in one year, hope they prove me wrong.

You have to understand that if/whenever it happens, it would mostly happen due to an investment in new tech, not just something they get right. The equipment hasn't been right in the past because it isn't even in the game and hasn't been a focus. If they're making it a focus I think it will be done right, especially with Kane there.

I hear you Jp, the fact they are talking about it this early is a good thing though cant wait to see the official screenshots.

yet....
lol

but seriously, doesn't look that cool, but I doubt its replacing the regular lineup OSD's.

This is the least of Maddens presentation problems though.
How about a ticker for crying out loud. It was in the ps2 and was absent through the ENTIRE run of the ps360 and current gen.

And lets get special stuff for Monday Night games already.

This. Usually if something isn't in the game or hasn't been improved we get the silent treatment on that front. The fact that they acknowledged equipment after last years release and again with that post tells me they've definitely did something in that area.

It's always good when they acknowledge things whether they're in the game or not. I love how transparent the gameplay team seems to be with certain things and I wish we could get that on the CFM level. As for equipment "on point" is a statement that I think is going to be hard to live up to but hopefully it's true and there have been a lot of changes and additions because it will only make the game look that much better visually.

At least John White made his Twitter available to us so hopefully we can have some good dialogue with him.

The lead designer of CFM, he and Kolbe were the leads for 16 cfm, but Kolbe has left EA as of April.
