With that entire post, this is all you have to say? I'm not sure he was even comparing graphics. Reading the post, he seemed to have been comparing general animations and cloth animations between madden and that other game. The rest of his post was touching on aspects other than graphics.

If your going to quote the guy and respond, you should at least respond to his post.

From an outsider's perspective, it just seems like Tiburon either aren't hiring or aren't assigning enough people to work on those parts of the game.

That could be it, but way the game has been programmed ( essentially for the last decade ) could be what's holding back the animations. Think about it. The visuals have never really been a problem for Tiburon. The visual weren't the problem last gen. The visuals didn't take a step back when the 360 debuted in 2005. The animations did; the feature set did. We still ( to this day ) don't have the ability to set up formation substitutions in the pause menu, and we had individual defensive assignments only to have that feature taken out of the game. The animations took a nose dive as soon the 360 debuted, and they didn't get better from year to year.

Hey, maybe the animations will be fixed next year. Maybe they'll be fixed the following year. I just think that whatever Tiburon did to screw up the animations ( during the last console generation ) is something that couldn't be corrected in two development cycles. I want to at least give the dev team enough credit to assume that they're not happy with the quality of the animations. I also want to believe that it's at the top of their priority list.

Or the animations may never be fixed.

So far, that goes against your own track record.

I'm looking forward to the day where threads with 18 pages worth of posts that actually have to do with the topic.

What is amazing, sad, and unacceptable is that the "other" game actually had animated jerseys that gave the illusion of there being jersey physics. 7 years ago.....STILL not and never have been in Madden. Hell you could even see the rain bouncing off the players helmets 7 years ago, and the actual real players with their real equipment on the sidelines, instead of African American Andy Luck with zero equipment and high socks.
