That's pretty much spot on...except the face...and the gear.

I'm not sure how Madden can include every helmet produced since 1980, yet NHL takes out all of the helmets that the top players actually wear in favor of "newer" stuff that not one NHL player wears in a game.

It has always left me scratching my head that Madden has tons of visor options (a sport that a minority of players actually wear visors), while NHL (a sport where a majority of players now wear visors) has only 2 different visor models and only 1 manufacturer.

hmmm....did you see the NBA 2k14 for PS4? This picture from EA is far from the actual JVR...except the mole.

hmmm...look at the lips, i'm very sure its not because of the lighting.

Repeat after me....GAMEPLAY...GAMEPLAY...GAMEPLAY...GAMEPLAY.

Since most gamers don't stare at players face...why EA is wasting its limited resources on faces??? Why not improve the GAMEPLAY...GAMEPLAY...GAMEPLAY? How about the different modes such as BaGM (offline) and Living a Life?

THIS is what I grew up playing so seeing this looks amazing...ya`ll nitpick too much man. Your acting like you plan on pausing the game to go get a bottle of lotion and a towel man...lol

And most of the player likeness shots they've shown are either really close or spot on. Cept not to the usual naysayers who naysay every year regardless.

We went over this already, they'll show gameplay closer to release and the demo will be out in about a month anyway. Patience is a virtue. This isn't any different than the last 3 years at least.
