What criticisms have been levied against Madden NFL 24?
While its various game modes like Franchise look promising, Madden NFL 24 has garnered criticism for its supposedly poor graphics. Recently, a TikToker by the username Akinthegreat uploaded this internal video of various NFL players' face scans:
Immediately, negative reactions poured in from Reddit:
"This company is a joke man"
"It's almost like they aren't trying"
"This literally just isn't good"
"Am I supposed to be impressed that a scan I’m only gonna see once, maybe twice looks good? I bet we still can’t give our players piercings or tattoos lmao you know, that thing we could do in 2007. This is putting lipstick on beaten dead pig "🤷♂️
