This post right here just show how far camera works goes in making presentation and graphics look good.

Funny how you tinted those pictures orange like the NCAA pictures. lol. I agree NCAA11 looks great. if the NCAA pictures are in a magazine I would think they are real. this rivers screenshot....not so much.

Forgive the cellphone quality. Add in some long post play animations and this game could go alot further convincing people it is a real broadcast.

Yep. This is it. Very nice shots.

If they could do that and have new post-play player reactions like you pointed out (and I hate to say this again but the reactions/movements are terrible right now), then this very big missing piece would finally come together. They just can't save the post-play animations in the game now. They're just bad, they have to be scrapped, new animations must be made. I mean, after 5 seasons I don't see why we have the same post-play reactions anyway. Advancements should've been happening here every season.

The post-play animations need to be more intelligent and tied to situations, because the last thing I'd want to see is a great camera shot of a player celebrating a 1-yard loss like we sometimes get now (minus the great shot of course). I'd also like to see celebrating tied to a rating (even a hidden one will do), because seeing players who never go nuts in real life do it in Madden is just another one of those things that affects authenticity in a negative way.

This is brilliant. It's exactly what I want to see and can only hope Ian is lurking here somewhere.

I really hope Tiburon sees these posts.

I'm not holding my breath on better pre/post actions. Tiburon seems to look past this area (and maybe justifiably so as most gamers could probably care less).

But to think the QB would still be sprinting to the LOS if we didn't speak up a year ago, and it's kind of discouraging to think we'll see improvement here.

Equally discouraging is to think about how there was emphasis on presentation last year, and there's still so much left to be desired. I'm hoping M10's presentation was a byproduct of having to address so many other areas and not being able to place major emphasis on the broadcast element. But I hate that I have to press pause to see some of the pertinent stat information.

It looks cool, but I don't play the game that way. I appericiate the effort though. I think NCAA will be better.

Anyone notice how the the Madden 10 picture has the helmet shadowing river's face and Madden 11 has his face with no shadows? I don't know if they were playing on the same temperature or not, but if they were....smh

The graphics in Madden 11 "LOOK" good, but how is the "GAMEPLAY"?
