A new generation of consoles and this series looks as generic as ever. What is the Browns' quarterback doing while he runs? (NSFW?)

Lets Compare a picture from the Last NFL 2K game which was 10years ago. With a Madden 15 picture.

People just don't remember what it really looked like.

Maddens Raiders3623d ago (Edited 3623d ago )

Sad. The NFL and the legacy of John Madden's exploits deserves a better rep than what EA has generically produced the last 14 years, imho.

CerebralAssassin3623d ago

Go back and play madden 2000 and then tell me nothing has really changed. Everyone says its the same thing every year but if you go back and play madden 2000 or hell even madden 2010 you will be surprised in the robotic feel the game used to have.

Gozer3623d ago

Doesn't look much different than Madden 25.

JetsFool35003623d ago

Your crazy they finally fixed the player models now every position doesnt look the same & last I checked we play games for gameplay not just to look at it

badboyz093623d ago

We do play games for the gameplay and that is where Madden fails the most each year.

Gozer3623d ago

I have Madden 25, I think I know what it looks like.smh

CerebralAssassin3623d ago

For the people that disagree with you... you're the reason why resolution is a top topic in every discussion for every game that comes out. You're a stain on the industry. Games are about gameplay first. Visuals second. Get your priorities straight.

Also, dont get confused by my statement. I agree madden gets milked every year with subtle improvements but with a game that comes out every year what do you honestly expect?

BX813623d ago

Not gonna lie. Those pics actually look good.

PrinceOfAllSaiyans3623d ago

Debating on buying this for my Xbone. Because I want to play with my Jags (yes I'm a Jags fan). Blake Bortles, Marqise Lee, and Allen Robinson should be fun.

Illusive_Man3623d ago (Edited 3623d ago )

I am a Jaguars fan too, I think they will surprise some people.

DUVVVVVVALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! !!!

BillytheBarbarian3623d ago

Madden always looks good in screen shots...it's when the animation kicks in when hilarity begins. When they slide around on the field to get to their programmed position and when linebackers can jump 10 feet for an interception. The prettier they make it the more exposed the game play becomes. Critics hype Madden every year then 3 months after release they talk about how disappointing madden has become. Same damn crap every year.

There are no "thoughtful" ads in video games, EA

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman12d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath212d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai18d ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga17d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole14d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville15d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens5217d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_17d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville15d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM17d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka16d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_17d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

badboyz0921d ago (Edited 21d ago )

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.
