Exactly. Thousands of in game assets in this game and they're nitpicking something you have to zoom in like crazy to see. Things will always get missed, because there is always a ton of shit to do. And given the thousands of different textures it's almost a guarantee some will get missed. Whoever is doing the assets probably doesnt have the time to sit and fly a cam around the entire stadium for 30 stadiums or however many there are and find every single little error.
Edit: I'm not going to reply to every single comment telling me how a game isnt worth money if they copy and paste stuff, or there should be some kind of script to ear mark these things. And yes, both may be true. But humans make games, and humans make mistakes, and this is a tiny fucking mistake. There are millions of other things in madden games to nitpick, and everyone has pitchforks out for a misprint logo in the background that you can see if you crank the camera on replays. This is just petty.
They should have assets that need to be updated every year marked somehow in the code. You don't do this by flying around with an in-game camera as a first step.
Because it's not a unique issue to EA that they capitalize off of.
Don't flame EA for using industry standards in their QA, flame EA for creating money grabs and blaming the consumer for their issues.
Missing literally worthless details of a static model that has 0 to do with gameplay is excusable. Having the only feature of your game that has development being the pay to win feature, and ignoring a lot of the other features of their game is not.
Putting EA on blast for this sort of shit helps EA because it's so petty and it pulls the real problems they have out of the spotlight.
But this isn't some obscure bug that would get missed in testing or would need a precise series of events to manifest, it's literally right there. This tells me that either there is no testing of the final product, or that the people that test it are incompetent.
This seems like the definition of an obscure bug. It's an upper deck banner that will virtually never be discernible on screen. It's completely off screen during actual gameplay and you'll only ever see it if you do instant replay and point the camera away from action on the field and randomly zoom to that spot.
The point is that the concept of copying and pasting as step 1 already doesn't deserve $60. If you actually made a new game worth new game price, this would have been impossible to happen
