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

Sorry if this has been posted before here or on another thread, but this literally killed any glimmer of hope I had for Madden in the upcoming years...

Look at this nugget of twitter conversation between our boy jp and kane (equipmentguru)

1. Josh <s>@</s>jpdavis1982 <small class="time"> 19 Oct </small>
   <s>@</s>Equipment_Guru Gotcha. Are all the helmets and jerseys fixed on next gen to your satisfaction or still some issues?

2. <s>@</s>jpdavis1982 still issues of course I just didnt have enough time but theyre better
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Josh <s>@</s>jpdavis1982 <small class="time"> 19 Oct </small>
   <s>@</s>Equipment_Guru that's good, did the Vikings numbers get fixed? Dolphins still have blue socks? Bills blue jersey and pants color fixed
   
   
4. • Dustin Smith <s>@</s>Equipment_Guru <small class="time"> 19 Oct </small>
   
   
   
   
5. <s>@</s>jpdavis1982 we don't have the tech for the vikes numbers
   
   • Josh <s>@</s>jpdavis1982 <small class="time"> 19 Oct </small>
   
   
   
   
6. <s>@</s>Equipment_Guru Will you be able to get it in the future? I'd think with next gen tech you could do it eventually

   <s>@</s>jpdavis1982 not in my hands but I sure hope so
   
   

THEY DON'T HAVE THE "TECHNOLOGY" FOR THE VIKINGS NUMBERS FONT!!!!!!!!!
Just think about that statement for a couple of seconds... and can a nice gentleman on the forums please find the appropriate WTF gif for said statement?

What type of high end tech could be needed to get a font right???... Heck, imagine if you were to play NBA 2K14 with the Heat and their jerseys had the team name in TimesNewRoman font!!!!! SMH!

Point being.... they HOPE to be able to get the tech to get uniforms right in the future, but somehow we're supposed to believe they'll develop the tech to have realistic player movement or even better player models.

By the way, this is not a personal attack at either jp or kane.. it just goes to show how long this game has to go. It is a minor detail (uniform font) but if such minor thing takes more than one cycle to get right, imagine how long it will take for the real root issues with the game to be fixed/added.

Fonts are more complex than most people think - but I have to admit that I AM surprised by this. EA has been one of the best in these terms. I'm floored, actually.

I see people say EA is usually good with that stuff. I don't get it. There are so many mistakes with uniforms and accessories in what way are they good? I mean they can't even give us mouthpieces...

And I posted that just to go back to my original point... the answer to why we don't get those things can't be "we're focusing on gameplay first"... they have different departments/budgets...

I honestly have no idea what they use their time & resources on... Jp even asked if they got all helmets/uniforms issues right and the answer was... there wasn't time to get all of them.

Like WTF?!?!? I look forward to getting accurate uniforms/equipment by Madden 25, as in the year 2025

Re: 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.

Hilarious. What incentive does EA have to change if people still buy their crappy product? NONE.

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.

Is this the same guy who had you convinced 25 on next gen would be amazing??
