Widescreen Gaming Forum

Any updates? Anyone able to find a solution? I'm tempted to get the game but lack of widescreen is making me hold back.

I checked again last night, and sure enough I was running at 1600x900. I didn't however compare it with a standard 4:3 resolution to see if it was stretching the image. If I have time tonight I will try and do this, and perhaps provide some screenshots.

Sorry the formations aren't all the same, time is limited.

wtf? 1600x900 is no option on my 1680x1050 monitor? This is dissapointing.

That's lame, although I'm pretty sure that you will see just as much with the 4:3 resolutions sense the widescreen option is very much stretched horizontally.

I suppose I should have added that I'm using a Dell 2407.

How did you get that 1600x1200 resolution?

I tried all types of different scaling settings with my nvidia control panel and tried changing the resolutions with the madden07.ini file or whatever it is but had no luck. I was at least able to get the game to not reset to 800x600 when i put in a 1440x900 resolution but it still stretched the image, just with black bars around all sides instead of full screen. So it really wasn't 1440x900 since that should have been a 16:10 ratio. It basically looked the same as 1600x900. Very

The 1600x900 is obviously stretched. No widescreen support = No Buy.

yeah it does look horrible stretched, only way i can play widescreen without stretch is to play it on my bravia with a custom res of 1360x768 in the madden.ini, then its not stretced. i really dont understand ea at all.

This is dissapointing, I just got the game and don't even feel like playing it. I saw it on the XBOX 360 and it looked really nice on flat widescreen. But on my computer with 1440x900 monitor it doesn't even look half as good. I'm offered highest resolution of 1152x864 and I dont think it looks good at all. I really wish they would have offered widescreen for this game.

I wouldn't compare the game directly to that of the 360, it is a completely different game engine. EA Sports apparently felt that it would be best to hold off on releasing the "next-gen" games for the PC until the 08 titles.
