Electronic Arts announces that they're going for a stylized look for the Nintendo Wii version of the next Madden game. As you can see from the screenshot up there, it's a very Team Fortress 2 approach. Will this play with football purists? Probably not, but then again, they're probably not playing Madden on the Wii.
Here's the breakdown of why each guy looks so weird:§ Wide Receiver/Defensive Back--his tall and lean frame is indicative of his speed, agility and ability to snatch any ball that comes his way.
§ Linebacker--his solid, muscular body warns that he plans to knock your block off.
§ Quarterback--his wide shoulders and small waist emphasize the "heroic leader" look.
§ Lineman--this hulking mass lets you know he is there to stop you in your tracks.
§ Strong Safety/Running Back--his compact body features muscular thighs that convey strength and speed.Whoever that guy is on the left, I bet he can double-jump.
