have posted this in a few threads but I wanted to see everyone's opinion on this...
Left being 2k's scan and right being EA's scanning techniques. I think this explains why EA has a more 'cartoony' appearance in general. The article I found it from said that EA seems to work on the textures of faces after it is scanned in..and 2k seems to just capture the whole head. Explains the sort of plastic look that EA models have.
Madden's face scans never look photo realistic to me. They look great.. I can't say otherwise.. but they still look cartoony a bit
