The big difference? "My most recent room Mut 23 Coins that I had to create this in, it was about the size of this carpet." Murray says, as he looks at the rug, which is marked by gridiron lines and the EA Sports logo, roughly the size of a closet floor. Today, he's working in a significantly larger and newer motion capture studio located at EA's downtown Orlando studio. The studio is where EA Tiburon moved in 2019 just before the outbreak. The capture studio, in fact, was finished just one day before the interview, Murray said.
The additional space means that "thousands" of brand-new shots already have been recorded to be used in Madden NFL 23 -- 700 of them in the last week before an upcoming studio tour in the late months of May, Murray says -- and that's in addition to the 12.000 filmed over the past seven years in which this technology has been used. Murray is correct that past Madden games have provided a variety animations, following the whistle or halftime gunto prevent its cinematics from becoming rote and repetitive. However, when I look at the new environment he's got to work with I'm inclined to think that he could more efficiently frame a scene from an outside camera now that it is possible to literally move away from that line with virtual real time.
So, did EA announce at the start that they wouldn't respond to or answer questions about the PC version? Did they no-comment questions on the PC version or did no one ever think of asking questions because there weren't any PC gamers or came from PC-centric outlets?
I'm not sure if anyone were aware of it, but it's the third consecutive year of ports from the last generation on PC and for all of EA's talk about taking the feedback received from forums and social media to the heart, we ended up to roar in the silence. It's my absolute belief that those who spoke to the media were console gamers. It would have been nice to see any of the professional journalists in the room to speak for us, nevertheless, because a vote through our wallets could convince EA to stop making the game before they make improvements to Mut Coins Madden 23 the game.
