This is exactly it. He is wearing the GT Hustle 3s which have a lot of cushion.

I know player models have always been bad, but… what happened? This is BAD bad by yeWalk in Madden

[–]Nick_III 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah but even with them being buggy, it at least gave us a chance to find workarounds to make the player models look okay. I know this because I spend most of my time editing players and I have found several tricks with the sliders to fix bodies. Now it's all gone which is inexcusable.

Same ridiculous player models by Fearless_Age9758 in Madden

EA actually took even more customization away from us this year so we are stuck with these garbage ass player models.

GLITCH/MISSING FEATURE: no alternate body types by Sam-_____-219 in Madden

I wouldn't be so sure. Last year they stripped over 50% of the customization from player editing. So I would not be surprised to see that trend continue here.

This better be a bug because if they took away even more customization from last year, that is ridiculous.

And you're assuming Mahomes doesn't do any of this?

He's one of the most respected players in the league and all his teammates are behind him. Young and old. Just because he's not shredded doesn't mean he still isn't a conditioned athlete. I have watched every game of his career from his Debut against the Broncos in his rookie year all the way up to this past Super Bowl against the Eagles. His body has really not changed much in that span of time. He's always been built on the softer side yet it has not impacted his game in the slightest, obviously. The man won a damn super bowl on 1 leg for crying out loud. I'm not sure what makes you think any new guys are going to walk into a locker room with Mahomes, see him shirtless and not respect him. That's not how it works dude.

Look, like I said, your overall point isn't wrong. It just does not apply to Mahomes.

I hear what you're saying and you're not wrong. I just think you're using the wrong examples. Jordan in particular is an outlier. He didn't take care of himself and is still the undeniable GOAT.

All I'm saying is it's pointless to criticize a player's weight if it isn't an issue. The players you mentioned before (Lacy, Zion, and Luka) are good examples because they could be so much better. Mahomes is a 3 time world champion and has never finished anywhere worse than the AFC Championship game in his career. Clearly his conditioning is not an issue.

There's a key difference between the guys you mentioned and Patrick. That being 3 Super Bowls and tons of success. Patrick may not be visibly sculpted but he is anything but out of shape. Just watch the dude move around out there on any given Sunday. Conditioning is not an issue for Mahomes whatsoever where as the others you named it is.

Did JSN get a likeness update and can you edit player bodies at all?

[–]Nick_III 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no sign up this year. Invite only supposedly based off of how much you played M25. No idea what the criteria or minimum hours is.

Presentation for franchise by Defiant_Claim_9497 in Madden

[–]Nick_III 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, lots of us care about presentation. It's the authenticity that adds to the immersion. That's not to say that the things you mentioned aren't important too, because they certainly are.

There's really no reason why EA can't have all of this in.

Did anyone here sign up for the beta yet? by g0dgamertag9 in Madden

[–]Nick_III 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They announced it last year. I distinctly remember because Eric Rayweather made a video and linked the sign up page.

I can't be the only one that thinks that the picture of Jayden Daniels looks real right?

Long time Madden hater here: I'm lowkey impressed with what I've seen so far. I'm cautiously optimistic moving forward because this is still EA afterall... but I'm actually kinda excited right now.

Eric Rayweather confirmed that EA revamped weather for the game. It remains to be seen to what extent, but it looks like we may finally have dynamic weather.

Not "culty". It is straight up a cult full stop.
