Madden NFL 13 Screenshot - Calvin Johnson Jr.

LOL. Madden is a video game running on a video game console. During the actual gameplay, you don't even have time to see any of this stuff.

But If it was running MASSIVE on Sequoia, then it might actually be possible to make it realistic.

I can imagine each player, coach, official having their own routines regardless of whether they were on the field. Even the fans in the stadium could be doing different things in each section. The engine could also be simulating in real time all the games that are being played concurrently.

The reason some of the people here complain is because of how great and sim other games look.

not only that, but a lot of it can be taken as helpful criticism. when the goal is realism and they post a picture of such incorrect proportions i would only hope the community speaks up and makes note of it. not going to matter during gameplay anyways, at least i hope not...

Which ones?

Why do people not understand that a video game will never truely replicate a real game. Other sim games have just as many cosmetic flaws as madden. It you are focused that much on the looks while playing then maybe you shouldn't buy the game if are that upset about player models.

The problem is how bad sometimes, and how many years as well.

Just look at this:

[TeamBuilder]

Madden 13 has Calvin Johnson in the game as Calvin Johnson "Jr." As you can see from his NFL.com jersey, there is no "Jr." on his jersey. I just don't get why they need to add the "Jr." Bryant Johnson is no longer on the team!

It's EA... there'll be some backwards reason as to why. Perhaps the accessories are part of the base model for the player and the engine doesn't support alterations.

When a game created almost a decade ago managed to capture the look and feel of the NFL far greater than EA ever has, you just have to wonder why the Madden developers find it so insanely difficult to get anything looking right.

FIFA doesn't suffer this issue, why does Madden?
