Remember, this is an EA title.
EA will make games for the lowest console first. Thats why the games always look the same on the PS2, Cube and Xbox. Even though the PS2 is the worst spec by a long way, it still looks the same as the xbox...?
With the next gen wars, they are doing kinda the same. Madden 06 will be on xbox AND 360. And it looks like they will be adding a few extra things for the 360, but dont count on a brand new game.
But i have to say very little of the "ACTUAL" in-game shots i've seen so far have impressed me. Its just not the massive jump everybody was expecting i guess.
However, what does impress are games like Deep Rising, games that throw fuck loads of shit at you but still look decent with a great frame rate.
I would rather play a game like that than EA trash any day...

Looking at the fans in the first pic, it reminded me of GTA3.

You know i was about to post "consoles are better for some games, its just FPS and RTS games that Pc is amazing for".
And then it hit me...
Thats just utter tripe. Because you can play FPS games on a console with a mouse/keyboard, and you can play adventure games on a PC with an actual xbox or 360 pad...
So...
I dunno. I'll always have my PC, because i know no matter what i'll never be able to to the media editing i can now on a PS7.

What you say is true but you've missed the point of what's being said. The topic of conversation is centered around the disparity of screenshots shown of this game in the past (which looked fantastic), and the actual game being floored right now.
Normally companies glam stuff up a bit (Rockstar is bad for editing their shots, even on the box covers), but the difference here is like heaven + earth grade shit.

Listen mate, shit happens. Remember the first shots of Project Gothem 3? They looked real. You couldn't even see polygons on the cars edges for gods sake, it was THAT high poly. Or the killzone videos. Or pretty much any other PS3 video.
Thats just the way life goes. You always wow people with what "could be done", but then drop the detail when you see that people dont want to play a slideshow.
Case in point, Doom 3. First shown, it had enhanced particle effects, reflective shaders for windows and stuff, all sorts of cool shit. Turns out most of it was dropped because it would of killed you PC at the time.
Of course i don't care about any of that, i just wanted the fantastic death animation in the final

you make it sound like its more of an accidental "yeah this is what its suppose to be (or what we have) but because of _____ we had to drop it a bit".
i think its more of a complete deceit on their part. they know that theres no way in hell its going to end up looking like that.
also you make it sound as if the whole "they want to wow you" is a valid excuse. i mean i guess its an excuse but its full of bullshit and shouldnt be tolerated, which is the point of this thread.

Yeah. On top of that, you primarily hang out here to discuss upcoming game titles and talk about screenshots and videos... now you're saying they dont mean shit.

Oh and also if anyone has the necessary funds to splash those kind of visuals into their franchises it's EA. And considering that Madden is one of their biggest selling money farms they could of spend a TON of money on it and still break even (how many more people would jump ship and buy their Madden game on top of the massive fan base? Plenty).
If EA is cutting corners, what chance do the small players have?

EA is cutting corners because it want to maximise profit, not build a fanbase. It's already done that.
Hence small players just need to focus on the fanbase and they'll do just fine. I dont think the state of EA Games reflects on the industry as a whole, because EA games is an evil freak.

I find it funny that people are actually still complaining about this kind of thing
I remember when nintendo first released "Screenshots" of Project Reality
They bascially took a high end SGI Workstation made some video clips and said the N64 will be the same
Anyone remember the train demo
or whatabout when the quake 3 engine was first being done. I remember the screenshots at UBER resolution and remember a Klesk type character that look unreal and wouldnt look out of place in a modern day game.
Same shit different console launch.
