Athentic live sidelines for Next Gen anybody?

[Jetpac]

*AUTHENTIC sorry

Much has been said about the Next-Gen Madden and what we can expect. But the biggest eye sore to me in Madden currently is the 2D prop in sidelines with the horrible cut-scenes. APF2K made the game feel so ALIVE when a big play was made using real-time sideline team-mates.

The excuse I've heard every since the Cumming days was there "wasn't enough resources" to make that possible.. Well... Pretty sure that isn't valid anymore.

What would you take away from the current game to have accurate sidelines? There's only so many resources to go around, doubling (and then some) the number of players to render isn't really all that much of an 'excuse' as it is a reason.

That being said, It's been mentioned already for next gen, we'll see what pans out.

Edit: via quick search -

"When we introduce our new sidelines and crowd on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, it’s not just going to be a static crowd and looping animation. They’re going to react to things happening, whether it’s exploding for a big play or deflating. It’s a huge focus for us, and something we’re going to blow out in Generation 4."
