EA Shows off Next Generation of Madden

EA is going to have to work a lot harder to regain gamers's trust after a long string of sub-par games. This video isn't going to do much to help EA's cause.

For the past week, EA has been making a big splash over their “Madden Next-Gen” product, set to debut on Xbox 360 this christmas. That culminated in an ad they showed during the NFL draft this past Saturday.

The only problem is the ad doesn’t show any in-game footage. It only shows a pre-rendered “artistic sample” of what the next-gen Madden might look like. According to this preview by GameSpot, the final game will look better than this preview.

I find that exceedingly hard to believe, considering the source. EA is going to have to work a lot harder to regain gamers’s trust after a long string of sub-par games. This video isn’t going to do much to help EA’s cause.

But it will make sure Madden sells millions come December. And I guess that’s all that matters.
