Nope. Not surprised at all.

id argue player gear is 250 times more important than "fan" gear, sideline personnel; camera men wearing pants and women in the crowd. I barely see any of those things while playing the game, what I do see is players that dont have the same gear as their life counterparts

Yeah, but Madden has a big huge wide audience and not everyone aligns with everyone else. I heard the chorus loud and strong for females in the stands, livelier sidelines, cold weather gear, just as loud as the equipment updates chorus.

And SS, I know you love to see the equipment updates and to me, I probably couldn't notice the equipment updates if and when they arrive.

I know where SS is coming from but I agree, the stands and sidelines stand out more to the casual fans because they looked bad before, the player models to the casual observer do not stand out even if they aren't accurate equipment wise, they at least "look" good. This team is trying to eventually get every aspect of the game to AAA quality, but they first have to get everything to "A" quality, and there are still "C" level areas of the game, so they may look over one aspect that they feel is more pressing for something they definitely plan to get to in the next couple years. Rex said it himself at E3, look at the areas where the game is still in the "70" range meta critic wise and expect that to be their next priority.

No problem with the screen here. Might look different from the networks presentaton for football, but other sports have done similar stuff.

It's probably that much more work too.

Cmon they have a whole art team. I get that people don't have the same interest as me but saying it's too much work for the art team to add new equipment is kinda ridiculous

Not really at all. I'd say any doubt that it wasn't the case it was erased during their reveal period last year where virtually everything they showed was Draft Champions.
