More Madden NFL 10 Coverage
We at GamePro Sports have noticed a lot of questions around the forums relating to how Madden NFL 10 will look on the Wii versus its next-generation counterparts. One GamePro reader asked the same question I did when I first saw the Wii screenshot, "What's with the pin-head players?" Well fear not, we have asked the experts and discovered the all new Madden '10 for the Nintendo Wii.
First off, if you expect it to look like the screenshots you've seen at GP Sports before, you can forget it. The Wii will never have the same graphics as the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. However, that doesn't mean that it can't have a new genre-defining style. This year, Madden 10 arrives on the Wii with breath-taking visuals that they hope will captivate both seasoned veterans and new comers to the franchise. Completely redesigned and built from the ground up, Madden NFL 10 introduces a unique art style that they believe will redefine the look of sports games on the Wii. All-new player models embody characteristics of your favorite athletes, plus new larger-than-life stadiums showcase the unique details found at each of the 32 NFL fields.
As Madden NFL 10 Wii designer Matt Read says, "You'll be hard pressed to find a pixel that hasn't been touched in Madden NFL 10 for the Wii." And that is the basis for the art style found in Madden NFL 10 on the Wii console. Exuding fun and yet still preserving the elements of authentic NFL football you have come to expect from the Madden franchise including the uniforms and the stadiums, you will find all the details you see on Sunday in game.
You will notice a stark difference from the "authentic" style of Madden on Xbox 360 and PS3. The Madden NFL 10 Wii art team strived to inject personality into each of the five body types showcased on the field, including quarterback, strong safety/running back, lineman, linebacker and wide receiver/defensive back. Each player type includes shapes that emphasize the personality of the player. A great example being shoulder pads and thigh pads, which have been designed to work with a player's build and to reinforce their particular shape. This makes for a unique player look and feel, without the reliance on high definition. Here's a breakdown of the positions and their own distinctive builds:

Am I supposed to be impressed with this? The graphics on the PS2 looked better than this. Once again, a simple equation:
Wii = Gamecube 2.0 w/ gimmicky controls

This doesn't make sense. The Gamecube was more powerful and had better graphics than the PS2.
Your equation = FAIL

Some people think also that the ps2 was more powerful than the original X Box

This was done because the Wii version would not hold up to the Xbox360 and PS3 versions graphically and in frame rate. So make it look "cartoony"
What a joke

All I was saying was that previous PS2 versions of Madden look better than this version. Don't get pissy because I insulted the Wii, douchebag.

EA has run out of ideas so this is the best they could come up with. How pathetic! Oh and by the way, Tripleho is a beeyotch who comments to try to piss people off, so overlook him.
