Madden NFL 25 Next Gen Video - The Prototype (QJB)

Thats absurd. The only excuse for not having a font style is simply not having the font in the game. There is no unknown mystery of lack of tech. There is no science to it. They just don't have their number font in the game. If that is the case, that they could ignore THAT but show us blades of grass, then that speaks volumes about how much they care about how the game looks, visually. The average person with decent skills can make that number font from scratch, ala Backbreaker logo maker. Why is this difficult for the people who actually make the game?

Guys settle down.. I spoke to Rex and Clint and they are very excited about the True Font ™ feature coming to next gen madden in the next few cycles. They aren't where they want to be yet... but they hope to expand on the feature to allow for full resolution of the vikings number fonts and textures. Their new tech can make up to 400 calculations per second to determine how a jersey font should look, smell and feel. It's incredible stuff.

I don't think this is as easy as it seems. The left and right numbers on the Vikings jersey are 2 different kinds of fonts. They have to program the way fonts are read on the Vikings jersey in a completely different way than all the other teams.

If that's so difficult... then how difficult will it be for them to ever program two legs to move realistically on each player on the field?

Right. " The next few cycles"

Hence, "wait til next year".

I'm sick of this.

There's this thing called pride. And sadly, they seem to lack it.

I don't sense that with Cam Weber and Rex Dickson. They are taking things personal and working very hard to give us the game we've been wanting. I think the more you guys see of next gen this year, and especially with M15, the more you guys will start to see they take pride and are serious about this.

I don't expect many of you to change your opinions until you see results, nor should you. If I hadn't heard the things I've heard from someone I trust and has proven himself for years, I'd be just as skeptical as many of you are.

I may be optimistic, but that doesn't mean I can't understand why you guys are pessimistic and feel the way you do about things.
