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.

# 3 NicVirtue @ 10/01/13 04:29 PM

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.

# 4 Rams_3 @ 10/01/13 04:35 PM

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

# 5 Cowboy008 @ 10/01/13 04:47 PM

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

# 6 Kevin26385 @ 10/01/13 04:50 PM

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

# 7 reverend_heat @ 10/01/13 04:51 PM

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.

# 10 EmmdotFrisk @ 10/01/13 10:11 PM

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?

Why do you say that? People here are giving constructive criticism about aspects of the game that has been missing/ none existent for years.

See it's legitimate questions like this that get passed over that some madden players care about because they will not admit they can't do it/don't have the time/tech related/not important. That's why I can't take these "send us your pressing questions!" things seriously, especially when you get the game and there's just one more glaring mistake that takes it's place. Also, about uniforms being "fixed" - how is that remotely believable when there's an annual "uniform error list" thread with this years at 700+ posts... are you sure?

I'd like some clarity on the camera statement. He's not saying the zoom can is changing again is he? Its about perfect now its back to the M12 height and angle. In fact we need custom cams at this stage in technology

"Return to '13 camera + zoom."

I think this means the default camera in Next-gen Madden NFL 25 is the default camera for Madden NFL 13 but zoomed in more.

I haven't picked up Madden 25 so I don't know, but were any of these issues addressed in the Madden 25 current gen release -- especially the uniform stuff? If not, was there ever a reason given as to why?

Why would you guys not do this anymore? I would like to know as much as possible about next gen. Maybe next time you guys could add some screen shots of the improvements you made.

# 19 tmac747 @ 10/02/13 10:25 AM

My thing is most these points they are speaking of is things they could fix in current-gen as well.

# 20 radatdude2 @ 10/02/13 10:29 AM

Man I wished someone asked if the cover boys uniform has been corrected, I would think that would be a top priority. It's not a good look to have your cover athlete inaccurate
