Will Next Gen have Real Helmets for Pro Bowl?

...This issue has been brought up many times and I don't understand why we had it once upon a time but can not now...

How would any of us know?

Man I hope so. They just planned very poorly for the transition into this generation. I hope they haven't made similar mistakes.

The increase in RAM wasn't enough to make up for the increase in texture resolution, so they were unable to goad the systems into loading all of the textures in at the same time.

Next-gen systems will see a 16x increase in RAM while texture resolutions are going to remain roughly the same. So it should happen, but they may put those resources elsewhere so we'll see in November-ish.

I hope so! I would actually play the pro bowl then.

This is Madden, so the answer is NO. If theirs one word to perfectly describe the Madden team, it's LAZY. They refuse to put effort into things they think most people don't care about or won't use that much.

If they want to, they definitely can with next gen.

They BETTER do. This is next gen for crying out loud! Something like this should be automatically done and one of the first things they do when working of the Pro Bowl game!

I'm like the rest of you where the little details in ANY game count. Does EA still say, "If it's in the game, it's in the game"? I don't think that they do anymore so that they can't be held accountable for false advertising lol

I have played through 5 CCM seasons and didn't have the opportunity to play the probowl. Did they have it in Madden 13?

Remember in 2010 when Todd Hammond was in the game!? Lol that cracked me up so bad he was awful at announcing. I've never seen him call a game live in real life and yet the devs made him play by play. Hilarious.

I never understood how they were able to do it on the PS2/Xbox generation, but not the PS3/360 generation. The excuses never made sense to me.

The texture resolution took a huge hit on the helmets in the old gen XBOX. If you zoomed in you could tell how pixelated the helmets got in the pro bowl.

I'm sure if they tried to do the same thing on the current gen the texture degradation would have been HORRIBLE since it was in HD.
