Madden NFL 16 Release Date: Improved Reactions, Camera Angles, and More

EA Sports' latest Madden NFL 16 promises to be the best football game ever created in the series.

Based from the details provided by an EA Sports blog post written by Madden NFL 16 Presentation Director Brian Murray, the latest edition of the game will have better graphics for the players.

The new camera angles will recreate very up-close and realistic interactions between the players. The new cameras will also provide views that would be impossible for fans to see at a real life game.

"We decided to create cameras that are grounded in reality, but are also not possible in broadcast. Thus, 'On the Field' cameras were born. These cameras are close in proximity to the players during their biggest moments, including touchdowns, sacks, and even as two players from opposing teams are jawing at each other," Murray explained. "Madden NFL 16's Wirecam can track action and be right next to the QB right before the ball is snapped. With sweeping shots during a pass play or circling the QB before he gets sacked, the Wirecam has truly changed the way we view our game."

Madden NFL 16 also improved graphics for statistics, ads and uniforms. Now, all of the players will wear official apparel that anyone could find from the NFL Shop. Referees, coaches, cameramen and more will all be wearing the same clothes that fans would see if they were at a real game.

The crowd and its reactions have been designed to become more dynamic. Players will now be able to see crowd props, such as fan signs and foam fingers. These features were created based on data acquired from the past three NFL seasons.

The crowd noise and the chants by the players will also be specific to the team.

"Pairing all this new content with the great work by the broadcast presentation team puts this awesome new action on screen for players to enjoy like never before," Murray concluded.

Madden NFL 16 will be released on Aug. 25, 2015 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
