They have to choose where those resources need to go. And players on the sideline during plays isn't that big of a deal. When you are on the field you aren't looking at #51 on the sideline. They have numbers and equipment in cut scenes. That is good enough.

Sidelines are a HUGE deal to me & many others. Just because they're not a big deal to you doesn't mean they're not important. I'm big on immersion & having generic looking sidelines kills it for me. That's not to say that I can't enjoy the game ( gameplay is really good this year), but to say sidelines or atmosphere is not a big deal is nonsense. It's almost 2016 & we shouldn't still be dealing with lackluster sidelines. You say they may not have the resources? EA Sports is the biggest Sports gaming company in the world! Lol. I'm pretty sure they could find the resources to improve the sidelines if they made it a priority. APF 2K8 had immersive sidelines on a Last Gen console for a game made almost a decade ago.

I get it that Madden has a higher graphical polygon count & the fidelity is a lot higher, but I'm not buying that they can't at least not have every sideline player wearing high socks....You say cut scenes are good enough? How awkward does it look when a player who wears low socks in the game is wearing high socks on the sidelines, every player on the sideline wearing the same facemask, players not having names on the back of jerseys, etc..? The cut scenes make the generic sidelines stand out even more! They need to completely go away from cut scenes & use Real-Time presentation at all times. Cut scenes are so Last gen smh. Now with all that said, obviously gameplay is most important, that's a given. However to act like things like sidelines, Living Worlds, presentation, etc.. don't matter is nonsense. Raise your standards a little.

It's that mentality that creates a settle for less mindset.

I don't care about a 4th banner being hung up in Gillette, right now. Because if you go to Gillette there are only 3 banners hanging up.

You are right...That is game breaking...I cant play this game knowing generic sideline dude has high socks and no gloves on...How dare you EA...I want my money back

Nobody said it's game breaking smart guy. Just pointing out that with amount of detail that goes into the on field players, the sidelines could use some love too. Don't get your panties in a bunch lol.
