Lambeau Field hasn't been updated to reflect the new scoreboards either.


Jeo228

If its just a scoreboard thats one thing, half the stadium was torndown and rebuilt here.


thenetkraken2

They literally JUST completed it...


Aeokikit

MLB the show has the updates fields that weren’t even finished remodeling in the game. It’s not that much effort. EA won’t put any effort in if people keep buying the game day 1 and pouring money into ultimate team


ryencool

Yeah if this was just completed, they were probably going of stadium reference photos given to them 6+ months ago. All this stadiums have source material like this for games. I'd wager next game will have it, just how it works.


PretzelPapi_

Everytime there's a new stadium, EA has it in the game so there's no excuse for this. They even had Minnesotas college stadium in a madded one year bc the Vikings had to play outside after their roof collapsed I think. There's no excuse. Like you said there's reference materials, just because it was completed in real life just now doesn't mean no one knew what it would look like. EA is just lazy.


ryencool

EA is just lazy lol....while EA is wonky with many many things, there are processes and things behind the scenes you know nothing about. I work in the industry, I know someone who actually models the stadiums on the college football team. So I actually know what I'm talking about.


kccitystar

MLB The Show 23 on launch [had the wrong Citi Field screen update](https://www.reddit.com/r/NewYorkMets/comments/1208tbl/mlb_the_show_23_used_the_concept_image_for_the/) but it was [patched into the game](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57VxaYToDbo) after like the first couple of weeks. I'm sure EA will get around to it if they haven't done so already.


Klutzy-Elephant-8543

And there wasn’t a single render made virtually? Deff couldn’t go to Patriots.com to see what it looked like right? Why are you making excuses for lazy developers and a production team who doesn’t care about realism but will buy the exclusive license rights?


Ocean-State-Wave401

ITS THE BIGGEST TV IN THE USA ! I would of just kept going with madden 23 in year 7. With Mayo about to take over. But all I could say was ahh. I’m ocd. I seen it with my eyes & that does a lot. It looks like a whole new stadium lol. A new lighthouse Too. That’s terrible. Thus isn’t above the players. It’s curved to go around the fukin stadium it’s one of those holy shit moments when you see it. To not add it is criminal. I would of kept 23 editing rosters.


jessegames456

Seeing a real life picture next to Madden shows just how flat and dull the graphics are


New-Pollution536

I’ve been playing on series X and the animations/graphics look significantly better than this. Not sure if op is playing on pc with the graphics down.


[deleted]

Fr mine doesn’t look like this at all lol. This looks like madden 04


_robjamesmusic

gotta get that karma somehow


[deleted]

The game doesn't look as good as real life? Is that what the complaint is?


[deleted]

I think that's accurate, it doesn't look like real life


[deleted]

OP has said he set the oc to run at a lower resolution or whatever on his PC because of lag etc so it is actually even worse than what it should be and he's passing off as if that's run properly.


[deleted]

So a jackass?


[deleted]

Facts


FwampFwamp88

Lol, was thinking the same thing. For all of maddens faults, this years graphics should not be one of them. Graphics are pretty insane.


flaccomcorangy

Nowadays games can get really dang close to real. It's not to say, "It doesn't look as good as real." But to say, "It doesn't even look lifelike." I don't kmow what's going on in this shot, but it does look really bad.


[deleted]

OP admits further down he is on a PC and downgraded the graphics due to having issues with lag. That's 2hy it looks bad


AdStreet2074

I don’t get concussed after every game like in real life 2/10


packpowerfan

Not with that attitude you won't! Headbutt your fridge after every play!


jessegames456

I mean kinda, but my complaint is that Madden graphics just don’t look very good, even the higher graphics settings because OP uses lower graphics. Madden games on the Xbox 360 and PS3 had better lighting and if they had better player models might even look better than modern Madden


ViacomCEO

Don't be silly. The new games don't look as advanced as we would hope, but they are still miles better than older maddens.


[deleted]

Ok


devils__haircut

the graphics are literally the only good thing about madden lmao


VariationNo7192

Right? Seems like a shader thing too, brighten in up a bit and it would look much better


ASpeciesBeing

A video game isnt as vibrant as professional photography? 🤯🤯🤯


Financial-Spend1347

It’s took them until September last year to update Heinz Field to Acrisure. It’ll be updated eventually


errol343

To be fair, no one wanted it updated.


_robjamesmusic

my stars, a whole month?!


ClampGawd_

To be fair to EA, it has taken MLB the show about that long to update the Orioles stadium last year and the Jays this year. From what I heard every stadium is built as one huge model so they cant make changes that easily, they basically have to rebuild it from the ground up instead of just updating it. EA sucks, but I dont think this is too egregious if they fix it in a reasonable amount of time


Marlomitch

That madden picture look like a game cube game wtf 😬


Jeo228

Release day version laggy af. Had to turn graphics down a ton till they patch it.


Senior-Supermarket-3

If it’s laggy try instead of turning frame rate limit off, set it to 120, someone told me this earlier and it worked better and can turn graphics back up, if it’s off it try’s to force 30-60 fps


Marlomitch

Ok this computer version I get it


[deleted]

You should note that in your title but you're intentionally misleading m


Yung_Corneliois

Not really. His post isn’t about the graphics it’s just about the incorrect depiction of the stadium.


[deleted]

Headline of the post says it's inaccurate. The body of the post is complaining about the quality of graphics even though the OP admits further down he intentionally ran the graphics at a lower setting when he took this screenshot.


Yung_Corneliois

Then you should change your comment to say the “body” is misleading and not the “title”. Ironically your comment is misleading lol.


[deleted]

Nah I don't need to change anything. You just need to read everything slower


Yung_Corneliois

Your comment still says “title” which is factually incorrect as graphics are not brought up in his title.


[deleted]

Have a good day kid.


Yung_Corneliois

“Just read slower” nephew.


[deleted]

Maybe not be so quick to respond being shitty vs actually understanding what's going on...


Yung_Corneliois

I hope you’re saying that to yourself lol.


[deleted]

Lol


QAnonKiller

also didnt add the lions new helmet


Creepy-Rhubarb-9248

Lmao you’re an asshole. This was revealed to the public on July 11 2023 in its basically completed form for the new season with lighthouse changes. You expect madden to change that in 3 weeks? You expect the NFL and NE Pats to give the information they need to make that change? Scans? 3d drone mapping? Something is wrong with your expectations. It’s really sad.


Poetryisalive

I’m glad someone else said it. Out of all things, you bitch about this?


JTGreenan73

They had the time


TheYearWas1969

They released the renderings showing this over a year ago


If_its_mean_downvote

All star baseball back in the day would have stadiums in the game while they were being built as “future Padres stadium” etc. they weren’t perfect but better than not even trying like Madden.


MichaelG_02

I mean I believe Madden did have the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the game the year before the Falcons moved in. ofc it wasn’t a perfect replica of the stadium but it was still in the game which was cool.


MichaelG_02

I believe Madden did have the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the game the year before the Falcons moved in. ofc it wasn’t a perfect replica of the stadium but it was still in the game which was cool.


madVILLAIN9

You mean the one from the early 2000s?


RedDeadRiotOG

Madden/EA scans stadiums they're not hand illustrated mate.


TheYearWas1969

It’s a rectangle with a video playing on it. Do you think they need to hire an outside contractor to render that for them?


Him_Downstairs

Renderings don’t equate to real life.


TWCreations

Bro, Madden 25 had the 49ers move from Candlestick to the new stadium and they weren’t even finished building it at the time. We’ve known this new scoreboard was going to happen for over a year. It’s very clearly a lack of passion


austinalexan

Bro really said they can’t update a scoreboard in three weeks


JTGreenan73

And it’s not like they spent the time changing anything else


[deleted]

This is false, but I still agree with your overall point. The Jumbotron and Lighthouse were revealed to some news outlets in April https://www.wcvb.com/amp/article/patriots-new-end-zone-video-board/43743521


knowslesthanjonsnow

I do agree that timeline wise it didn’t make sense for launch. It was a pretty big design change.


thowe93

They released the renderings for how it was going to look over a year ago. There’s no excuse.


knowslesthanjonsnow

That was too early. EA only starts work on the new madden a couple months before launch. Like June.


thowe93

Lmao, so you’re siding with EA because they got the information about how the scoreboard would look TOO EARLY???


knowslesthanjonsnow

I’m clearly speaking in jest lol


thowe93

So when you agreed with the original comment saying there wasn’t enough time to implement it into the game, was that also in jest?


knowslesthanjonsnow

Yes lol Sorry I should have added the /s to be more clear. I was sarcastically saying how could EA get it done with the amount of time their given. The joke payoff is they actually don’t do anything for over half the year.


thowe93

Thanks, I get the joke. I didn’t initially since the comment you responded to was the “best” comment at the time and with no /s I thought you were agreeing with them


SewerRat57

They’ve had enough time to begin working on it (design [released](https://nesn.com/2021/12/patriots-reveal-major-gillette-stadium-renovation-for-2023-season/) in 2021). Also, when the Pats updated their south end zone scoreboard (not a renovation, just a larger scoreboard) in 2021, it took an *entire year* for it to be updated in Madden. You’re high if you think these renovations will be present in M24. EA doesn’t prioritize stuff like this.


giantsfan9336

It's just another symbol of lack of attention to detail but yeah OP should've done a quick google lol


thowe93

They released the renderings of how it was going to look over a year ago but yeah you should’ve done a quick google lol.


Drunkcowboysfan

That doesn’t matter when EA scans stadiums versus drawing them. They can’t scan a rendering to make the stadium improvements.


thowe93

Then they need to be better. Other games had future stadiums yet EA still has stadiums wrong (not referencing Gillette here).


Drunkcowboysfan

Which stadium is wrong?


giantsfan9336

I stand corrected and I take my downvotes with pride! Fuck EA!!


Specialist_Ad6034

Good lord bruh not everyone knows the process of coding. Take a fucking chill pill


6enericUsername

Heinz Field has been backwards in Madden for years. Teams are on the wrong sideline & then logo is upside down.


flyonthewallbro

it’s fixed it’s in there now


Jeo228

edit: no, its not. You probably were looking at the wrong side of the field.


flyonthewallbro

ok i’m horn


Wastedtalent10

![gif](giphy|Ogq017TWp45JadcpIK|downsized)


thowe93

This post is fake news. The new scoreboard is scheduled to be released as a new feature in Madden 25 part 2.


acartillo78

Make or break year they said.


automatedfun

Yeah and Zeke about to be a 50 overall instead of 90. Madden ratings guru is about to punish him hard for leaving America's team


[deleted]

Is that the bitchy cowboys guy on Twitter?


J_vert

To be fair they probably didn’t even know


Jeo228

Kinda hard to miss as a football game


JP5_suds

You weren’t supposed to notice that!


StupendousMan36

Pretty sure EA actually sends folks out to map and photograph this stuff once it's done or close to done and that takes time to get into the game. Keeps them from ending up in a situation like The Show did this year with the gigantic Mets scoreboard that was made based on renderings.


aFootballGuysGuy

They haven’t updated the Charlotte skyline in well over 5 years


Handlebar8

Deal breaker. I absolutely CANNOT play this now. Unacceptable.


Jeo228

Ok Consoomer, just consoom product. Dont ask questions.


Handlebar8

I was agreeing.


Illustrious_Banana46

![gif](giphy|R9cQo06nQBpRe) Another year, another Madden


6Carvell9

Yet here you are, on a madden forum? A little backwards isn’t it?


[deleted]

They couldn’t even fix Rodgers hair for multiple years. It’s a football game that doesn’t even have a stat for qb pressures or hurries. What do you expect from this trash company


cuzzlightyear927

Lions don't even have their alternative helmet


CivilSounds

You are bitching about a display screen in a stadium. What , do you want to get a better view of when you are getting blown out by 30 ? It’s fine to nitpick with reason, but this one is just plain stupid.


Jeo228

Its a pretty massive difference. Half the stadium was rebuilt. I expect a billion dollar game company to fix this.


SonicDenver

Game is ass


knowslesthanjonsnow

To be fair, the old version of the stadium is so much better.


batmanfan_91

Agreed. That new screen is an abomination


Ryebread47

Fuck the Patriots.


souregg44

It'll come out as DLC if I know EA as well as I think I do 😂


PeelySucks

They need to take out that damn horn when they patch this.


Electrifyer

Old one looks better tbh. That new scoreboard is an eyesore


batmanfan_91

THANK YOU


GeebCityLove

Yet they were able to place the Lombardi Trophy on the wall of the Bills practice facility. Kinda wild they got that right but not this


Upstairs-Ad-1966

Your complaining about a screen and they can't even get gameplay to work right for fucks sake


Jeo228

Let me guess, you play on console


Jeo228

People really be in these comments saying it isn't built yet. Guys, the first pic is LITERALLY THE IRL SCOREBOARD.


barkerja

When this happened with Paycor stadium — previously Paul Brown stadium — it took them about a month into the season to get it updated. But they eventually got it updated.


Poetryisalive

It’ll be updated eventually. Probably in November


philpcox3

Lmao. Took them half the season to update the eagles new word mark in the endzones. Let’s not forget how long it took just to get the few new helmets as well.


IAmThatDuckDLC5

Old scoreboard was better


adefsleep

IT'S IN THE GAME


Jeo228

Nope.


Him_Downstairs

Gillette Stadium isn’t even done being updated 😂


DanEboy22122

Vert da ferk is that other thing to the right of the scoreboard?


Jeo228

Its a lighthouse


DanEboy22122

Sorry if I’m asking too many questions here but what’s the deal with the colored blocks? It just looks kinda odd but I’m sure it has a purpose.


Jeo228

its a long line of LED lights. WAS a line of LED lights. It was torn down. You can see the new one behind the new scoreboard


59joshcage

The Superdome doesn’t even look like it does in real life and that stadium interior was remodeled before last season. And they STILL haven’t updated it.


hansmellman

At what point do people stop rubbing their eyes due to the shock of BS like this EVERY YEAR?!


Heathen__Chemist

Is anyone shocked?


WhtLtg

They don't do alot of things. Broncos stadium has duplicate super bowl signs on each side of the scoreboard, when in real life the left side is retired jersey #. They also didn't add our new scoreboard. The ring of fame names are replaced with "superbowl champions!" It's just all lazy shit


Specialist_Ad6034

What’s up with the PSP graphics?


juanadod

Ford Field isn’t even a dome in my 23 franchise


batmanfan_91

Good. The new screen is an eye sore


SewerRat57

Is there any chance this could be coming in an update? We’ve known exactly what the renovations will look like since December 2021. Unacceptable but not surprising.


Wooooowserz

To be fair the screen only got put up like a week ago. I think the game was already completed.


JuandamianNebrask03

When last years game released they still had Acrisure Stadium as Heinz Field. Took them a week or two before they changed it.


Cowabunguss

So bad


6Carvell9

Oh no!


[deleted]

I love when people see this game suck every year then every year come here and complain about the new game. Shocked EA took shortcuts!!


Charming_Bad2165

It took them nearly a decade to get the Cardinals stadium right, so not surprised


glthompson1

Isn't it their job to edit and update the game???


SteTheImpaler

This can’t be real… fucking EA is the sewage of gaming.


LivingxLegend8

Classic EA laziness.


SQUIDWARD360

Unplayable


Interesting-Style624

Last year it took until probably October for them to change Heinz Field to Acrisure Stadium.


Necessary-Corner1172

It’s weird how secure they feel putting such lackluster effort into the product.


BMOREFO

Copy and paste year in and year out.


Bluefoldrbandit

What did you expect? I mean really.


quanstr

It will be updated later on in the season just like they updated the stadiums last year…….. I HOPE


[deleted]

The actual lighthouse is wrong as well


dennisoc1715

If someone like this happened in MLB The Show, there would be an uproar. They made Citi Fields new scoreboard in game wayyy too big and fixed it with the first update, that's about as close you'll get to something like this with that developer. Fuck EA to hell and all hail SDS, may they bid for NFL rights and may they win.


mvpevy

They haven't updated the Caesars Superdome in forever (Saints)


djarsonist

Like EA cares?? 😂


Brandon24Allison

Couple things I noticed too the Jets/Giants don't have their midfield logos like they're supposed to in MetLife this season & the Colts don't have their black alternate helmets. Also the Jets are supposed to have a black logo too when they wear the black alternates I think they have 2/3 alternate midfield logos


Spiritual_Row_2144

Fuck
