    • Madden NFL 10 on Wii: A whole new artistic style

    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:

    The art looks like it should be a cheat in a regular Madden game.. big heads, small torsos. Would've been nice if they gave people a choice between normal Madden graphics and this.. I guarantee few people would choose this >

    This is a cleaver. The stylized graphics are cool and for alot of people who haven't logged a million hours playing the EA NCAA, Madden Series Football games it could help to make taking the time to learn how to play alot less overwhelming. As long as all the complexity is intact it will probably be a cool version of Madden 10.
