When they support their claim that hundreds of face scans have been added by mentioning a player that has had a scan for years. . . It worries me.

This is a guess, but it is a possibility that they had to re-capture player faces with the transition into next-gen. From the images that released yesterday, they are clearly different than their current-gen counterparts.

Re: Twitter Chat w/ Art Director Jean Adams and Producer Seann Graddy

I'm more concerned with the player models more so than the faces. If JJ Watt still looks like walrus, if Mike Vick's stomach still looks like he's smuggling pillows, and if DeSean Jackson is bigger than Devin Hester, I will be extremely pissed off.

Will Nike gloves, mouthpieces, and team colored cleats make it in.

It would be nice if they showed us some pictures of what they improved.

They are done, all of the responses can be seen in the first post!

Re: Twitter Chat w/ Art Director Jean Adams and Producer Seann Graddy

My thought is that mouth pieces will simply never be in a madden game again. There has to be some issue with the face scanning, there simply is no other reason to leave out something that makes a player so strikingly identifiable. Have they ever addressed this issue?

Doesn't mean it's "fixed" EA was probably looking for easy questions with out much explanation.

actually, I do like certain footage they have shown...regarding graphics.

I meant how the question was worded. Now if he asked "How"...then it would come off totally different...but its still a broad question.

sorry if I come off paranoid, but Microsoft tried to pass off an AMA (ask me anything) with IGN and readers as legit...when it was obvious it wasn't.

anyway, StL_RamZ is probably more right.

So is the consensus not to do these anymore? We answered questions about graphics, replays , uniforms, and art. All other presentation will come later in the living worlds section.

I would like an official response on why, for the second console generation in a row, about what, 7/8 Madden releases or so we still don't have mouthguards on players that wear them. People always laugh about this question, but why has EA never officially responded?
