yeah i guess you are right...well at this point i don't know what to say..

let's put it that way; at least they are not confusing us with flashy trailers and amazing graphics that they cannot afford, and they are being realistic about what they think the improvements gonna be. hope so

I think if 2k made a soccer game that would be a better comparison, especially with the stadium size. The NFL and football in general is just much more detailed than basketball and there's a lot more happening at once. That doesn't take away from what NBA 14 team accomplished, I'm just saying its at a much smaller scale.

Fair. But just to hit on a couple of your points.

1. In NBA game, you have 10 players compared to 22. But you are zoomed in MUCH closer and there is more detail in the models and the textures needed. Also, the crowd is closer to the action. So, in gameplay cameras (where you are talking about) there are hundreds of crowd and sideline actors that need more detail than NFL. In a football title, they can be 2D cutouts done right and it would look OK. So, actually, you're WAY off in your statement that there's more detail in football than in basketball.

2. IF 2K could do a soccer or football game. That "IF" lays at the feet of EA and it's exclusive happy practices. But, if we're going apples to apples, the detail in NFL 2K5 compared to Madden 2005 is a good indicator.

Oh my god... Watching those APF 2K8 videos... WHY DID THAT NOT HAVE BETTER CUSTOMIZATION AND FRANCHISE. I'd still be playing it. I miss it already...

Graphically, looks like current-gen.

Obviously EA knows they have no competition. But do they not have any pride??

JP,

Relax dude it isn't even like that, you've done a great job of posting content here before most of us realized that it was available and have offered some speculative information as to where Madden is headed. You of all people should know that if you come to a forum dedicated to Madden and try to debate about the future of this game that people are going to respond negatively. It has nothing to do with you personally, it's just the negative sentiment surrounding EA due to their own shortcomings.

calm down fellas, in 11 days we will know whats real. My take on it is EA don't see the need to release raw gameplay footage because you will have to actually play the game to feel the difference and if they did release the raw footage you guys would be bashing madden even worse, so I don't really blame them for not putting that footage out there. I actually think they gameplay for this transition is to undersell and over deliver, atleast that's what im hoping. Im getting the PS4 with 2k so im gonna just wait and see what the reviews both public and OS are before I get Madden tho

Just hear me out. You told us Madden 25 current gen was gonna be a great game. It wasnt then you said Madden 25 next gen will be that game we are all waiting for. From the footage we have seen you are wrong again and now your telling us Madden 15 will be that game. On top of that members are saying you have been making comments like this for years. You put this on yourself. Nobody is bashing you, people are simply calling you out for the BS. How many times are you gonna tell us "next game" ? You defend it with your life, you end up being wrong, then you say next year.
