New Madden screens on the 360 severely disappoint

Remember that "target render" video EA released for the Xbox 360 version of Madden 2006 during the NFL draft back in April? Well, it looks like that trailer is coming back to bite them somewhere we don't want to mention: an exclusive new gameplay video for Burger King has been frame-capped and placed online for all the world to see, and it's rather disappointing in comparison to the one we've come to know and love.

As you can see above, Exhibit B (the BK clip) simply does not match up to Exhibit A (the draft special), and even
a webcomic without light bloom can recognize that. We can hope that EA will pump up the real-time action sequences before the 360 launches, but it's more than likely we won't be seeing those kind of visuals until the end of the next generation (if not the one after that).
Xbox 360, why must your games keep looking like Xbox 1.5?? Here's to better launch games and graphics engines.
