Screen grab of the nextgen Madden football.

Looks way better than Madden 2005! 
Looks similar to the concept screens which were posted a few months ago.
Obviously in a football game you're only going to see this level of detail in the cut scenes.
How much will your experience be enhanced in say the Madden Classic camera angle where the players are tiny? It will look better on HDTVs with fewer jaggies, maybe better-looking grass.
Rather than focus on only better image quality in the gameplay screens, it would be nice to have a more active zoom camera, which fluidly tracks the ball and automatically closes in on the action. Only problem is, while visually dynamic, the way the camera zooms could tip off the opponent on whether it's a pass or run play.
And lets hope they aren't focusing only on visuals but are looking to expand gameplay, such as implementing physics. But typically, the first sports games releases on new consoles often lack features and gameplay elements which had existed before.

If this is still a real-time rendering, it is still something even if it is just in a cut-scene..
Think about such a detail in a RPG game

It looks sufficiently different from the concept render for me to think it's realtime. Though the differences are subtle (from what we can see of this rather zoomed in shot anyway).
I guess this has to be the X360 version, if it is realtime? Presumably they wouldn't rent out some ad space just to show off concept footage of a non-platform specific "next gen" Madden game? Hopefully EA will give as much TLC to all their X360 launch games.

Personally I think the face, especially the nose and the eyes, and the texturing need some more work... buuut then again like a lot of people have said, this IS a football game and stuff like this shouldn't matter at all.
But nevertheless, I'm positive it'll look kickass in motion. Can't wait for the footage.

I believe its real time, just looking at the textures you can tell and it looks great. Their obviously using the Unreal 3 engine.

To football junkies like me this is the best thing I have ever seen!!!
It's obvious that Next-Gen Madden will look like that Nike commercial with Vick and Terrell Owens. Damn that hott!!

The infamous Madden "Zombie Stare" returns! Now that it's in glorious HD, you're gonna want to put the kids to bed before playing, or you'll give them nightmares.one said:
