BTW, are they going to include Motion+ support? I think that's a better question about the game than the graphics.

Dreacmast NFL 2K2 jumps to mind when I see these pics... great game

wowowowow loving those 2d fans in the background! lmao

I said it before and I'll say it again:

This is not what I'm looking for in a football sim.

And you failed to respond to me. :) (See me reply up above.  It starts with "Ignoring your poisoning the well fallacy...")

You really have no business talking about what's good or bad for the Madden series.  You're not interested in this series, much less football.  How can you know what is good or bad for it?  The simulation style that Madden has covers all part of the game.  The physics, the plays, the AI, the presentation, the player interactions, and the graphics are all as realistic as possible so that you can feel like you're really in a game.  This is a simulation, and simulations strive for realism.  That includes graphics.  Name one simulation game that went for a less realistic graphic style.  Good luck, I can't think of any.  That's because no one goes for a cartoony look unless the gameplay is of an arcade style.

And I already stated it's the principle, not the game.

"no one goes for a cartoony look unless the gameplay is of an arcade style"

Excuse me? Are RPGs arcade style? The 3D Mario games? And Pilotwings ins a simulation game, and the sequel definitely has a cartoony look.

Besides, shoehorning genres into graphical styles is the one of the very problems Nintendo made the Wii to avoid. You're basically demanding games stick to standards.

And it's not as though the other things are changing. Aside from the optional control, everything else is the same. If what you claimed was true, those things would change as well, but they aren't.

You don't have to like the art style. It's claiming everything else is tied to it, and making unfounded generalizations that I am calling you on.

See, this I don't mind. This is an honestly expressed opinion. Some people are turned off by the art style.

Thank you.

Madden NFL 10 Wii graphics are bad? I blame Wii Fit.

The graphics look fine.

There is a big difference between "I don't like this," "I'm probably not buying this because of it," "I think this might hurt sales," and "The whole game will suck because of this," "This will definitely hurt sales," "EA hates the Wii."
