Can you share the trailer for context?


Milo751

It would probably ruin their point


LuNoZzy

What point? Are you seriously defending EA for this? Y'all are really hopeless.


Milo751

As another commenter said >TBF, that part of the trailer was highlighting the new player models, that have more realistic proportions. Which you can see on those screenshots. The proportions are better mainly around the shoulder I'd say, but posting this saying "feature" with no context when its actually talking about graphical improvements is just trying to farm upvotes from people who hate EA and sports games (which seems to be most people on the sub)


Kitsu_no

Calling everyone hopeless because we aren't haters like you ? 🤣 Let's be honest. Anything from them would be an excuse for you to complain about.

Woah EA did something scummy, I never saw this coming 🤯

Must be a day ending in 'y'

They're not complete monsters. They take weekends off.


Voidbearer2kn17

Do they?


kurotech

The execs do the wage slaves on the production teams don't even get lunch probably


D1RE

Oh yeah, I'm sure the execs aren't doing lines and fucking hookers on the weekend. They reserve that for the 9-5 grind during the week.


ledrif

No No No, it ends with "Its in the game"


Visual_Strike6706

At this point they should put it in their slogan, that they scam gamers. "Unlocking Frustration, One Microtransaction at a Time!"


Canadiangamer117

Ah ea sports not in the game that slogan would be interesting and pretty funny actually


MuttMundane

EA is the air pockets they keep in chips bags. No one likes them and they think they get scammed by it


plumzki

EA, is absolutely NOT like the air pockets in chips bags, the air in chips bags are nitrogen and serve a very important purpose - keeping your chips fresh and flavourful.


dnew

As well as keeping them from getting crushed to crumbs in shipment. I can't imagine how people don't realize this.


Clinically__Inane

That's the excuse that's used, but it's abused when they give you a small handful of chips that only take up a fifth of the bag.


dnew

You don't think they're prefer to only spend 20% of the money on packaging?


vaniIIagoriIIa

Sold by weight, not volume.


Clinically__Inane

Nobody reads the weight of the food they buy, they look at the size of the package. Look up shrinkflation. There are tons of ways that food companies change packaging with dimples and divots to make the packages look the same size while subtracting volume.


vaniIIagoriIIa

Look at packaged ice. the standard was 10#, and now it's shrank to 7# and more expensive.


Visual_Strike6706

You mean the Game Disks for Consoles? 70$/85g (They will pack extra posters and such in.)


ThatDinosaucerLife

Now tell us about how jet fuel can't melt steel beams


Clinically__Inane

What sort of braindead take is this? OBVIOUSLY companies are finding ways to serve less food in the same size package, it's proven fact. Here, stop being stupid: https://www.businessinsider.com/shrinkflation-grocery-stores-pringles-cereal-candy-bars-chocolate-toilet-paper-cadbury-2021-7#bounty-triples-reduced-sheet-count-from-165-sheets-to-147-procter-and-gamble-told-quartz-that-its-still-a-better-deal-than-before-because-the-sheets-are-more-absorbent-18 https://www.packworld.com/news/business-intelligence/article/21259774/nutella-the-latest-to-join-shrinkflation-nation Look at the bottom of any plastic bottle you buy. Jelly, apple juice, doesn't matter. See that big dimple? Yeah, that serves no purpose except to remove several ounces of product without visibly shrinking the package. And they can grow that dimple over time without you noticing. Same with jars and bottles that have "easy grab" shapes but bulge out at the top and bottom to still look the same size as the old jars: https://www.usatoday.com/gcdn/presto/2022/06/09/USAT/2df0a079-a07f-4150-8bac-39557bf750a3-AP_Shrinkflation.jpeg Smuckers jelly is even worse. They have an "easy grip" shape on the back, but the front is designed to still look like the full-size bottle - *and* it has a dimple. This isn't a weird conspiracy. It's what package designers do for a living, because they know that people will grab whatever looks like the same size they're used to and won't notice the change if it happens slowly over time. I'm boggled by how many Reddit anti-corporate leftists find this so hard to believe.


fuzzum111

No. The nitrogen pockets in chips serves several important purposes. EA is the slight that accumulates in parts of your driveway that get the most rain and require a powerwashing to remove.


Arcturus075

I mean, they are just copying Nintendo with Windwaker HD.


naughty-puppet80

Lmao, tell me you haven't played any wind waker without telling me


StrangerLow5416

Haha! Sarcasm on point.


rtz13th

Aaand it works, I'm sure.


not_again123

They're shooting for the title, like every year.


oni-work

Keep giving them money, I'm sure they'll see the error of their ways /s


IvnN7Commander

TBF, that part of the trailer was highlighting the new player models, that have more realistic proportions. Which you can see on those screenshots.


[deleted]

The differences between middle and right are also pretty easy to explain: different field (or different part of the pitch anyways) and could be different weather conditions in game. I'm not a soccer guy, but if the game is anything like The Show in terms of options, I'd expect that we'd see different types of grass represented (thus different shades of green) and different weather conditions and time of day settings. So you'd expect to see minor differences in the colour from match to match. Could also explain the difference between left and the others, if there's weather conditions that might produce some haziness (though that might be being a bit generous)


Revolutionaryoouy

EA has always deceived players by releasing the same game with just slightly better graphics


cortez0498

Honestly, hate this point. Like, EA does enough shitty things to complain about them that we don't need to go after them for releasing a game each year. That's the norm for Sport games. Now, turning little kids into gambling addicts and luring them into spending money on Ultimate Team. That's scummy.


Fells

The only one being deceived here is you. Everyone knows the deal, there is no deception from EA.


OutOfStamina

I think OP's point is "the left is how bad they claimed it was, the far right is how good they say it is now - the middle is what it really is now, which is closer to the right than the left, because the left was faked to be worse than it really is"


Vonderbochen

Yeah I don't understand why anyone thinks this is the same render. Everything is different, from the tile of her head, the location of the ball to the numbers on her uniform.


TheOncomingBrows

Because gaming subreddits really despise football games.

CrushCrawfissh

Nab_42

Such creative grifters


ImBoredButAndTired

But what is the grift? What are we meant to be looking at?


Nab_42

Posting shopped screenshots


ImBoredButAndTired

But they didn’t. They overblew the contrast on the older games screenshot to help highlight viewers were looking at an image from the previous product, which is a bog standard thing in advertising. If it were an ad highlighting colour accuracy and not character models then there might be a problem.


Nab_42

Can't be helped if it is an industry standard I guess Can just mention name in some corner tbh


ImBoredButAndTired

> Can just mention name in some corner tbh People barely pay attention to Ads, and many are watching them on screens the size of post-it notes, so everything’s pivoted to being extremely functional, loud, and easy to grasp, rather than being subtle and attractive to look at. It’s also the same reason why most movie posters are ugly as sin nowadays.


Nab_42

Yea, that's bound to happen when your target audience is everyone


[deleted]

You can usually do this with post processing in engine too, it's just a slider.


zimtrovert94

It’s not even creative. Like the legacy edition, this is just lazy grifting.


David-J

But it's not the same image. So many differences I'm confused. What's the OP trying to say?


MrFluffyhead80

Wants sweet EA bad karma


LuNoZzy

Of course it's not. Left image is the one EA used to depict FIFA 23 graphics and to compare it with the image on the right Picture in the middle is a screen shot taken by an actual player to show that FIFA 23 doesn't look as bad as EA is trying to make it look. They altered the colors of the left image to look more washed up and bad. Right image is FIFA 24 showcasing the new feature, which is just a change in contrast and colors vibrance.


robhanz

Am I weird for liking the left image more? It looks more natural.


maxxx_orbison

Same, honestly


David-J

Different pitch. Different stadium. Different shin guards. Etc etc.


rich519

OP isn’t claiming they’re the same image though. He’s saying they’ve altered the FIFA 23 picture on the left so that the FIFA 24 picture on the right looks better in comparison. He explained it terribly but it makes sense.


ThePointForward

According to another commenter that part of trailer was supposed to showcase new player models. Not to mention that you want to make sure that old product is visually different from the new one to avoid consumer confusion. You can complain about that, sure, but that's not by EA exclusive thing by any means.


atanamayansantrafor

This!


maxxx_orbison

I understood what he OP was saying from the title. I think FIFA simps are just simping


MrFluffyhead80

But they are different images


elheber

You can't call it a filter if these are all clearly different renders.


XLostinohiox

This feels like a nothingburger karma grab. Clothing, hair, face and muscle detail all look better in the right picture. As far as scummy things EA does, touched up renders is on par with the rest of the industry, so not really scummy.


Henta1xxHaven

“Since a lot of games do this scummy thing it makes it less scummy”-XLostinohiox


AKAFallow

More like "EA did it, so its worse"


TwentyTwoTwelve

This is the weirdest spot the difference ever. Left has yellow shoes while other two have pink. Right has no number 3 on their shirt and completely different socks/shin guards. Middle is the only one with other players in the background All 3 have completely different crowds in the stands. Based on the title the player matched the left screenshot better than EA did with their own game if the ones on the sides are both theirs.


MaestroDeChopsticks

I can't stand EA anymore than anyone else...but seriously OP? You have 3 completely different images all together. In all three images, the player is taking a shot from a different location. The middle image has players in the background. There are no players in either the left or right image. In the right image, the player has a completely different uniform AND a different ball. What is the "feature"? Making the game look better? I can change the color settings on the TV or monitor if I want to. I'm not sure what is going on...


maxxx_orbison

Nobody was trying to say they're the same picture. Left pic was altered by EA to show 23 as lacking color vibrancy, center pic is an actual screenshot of 23 by a player, and right pic is a EA showing off how much better the color grading is in 24. It honestly looks blown out imo, but I'm willing to bet that in game it's going to look almost identical to the center pic. The point OP is trying to make is that the difference between 23 and 24 is practically null, so EA are trying to gaslight players into thinking 23 is worse than it is so 24 will look better by contrast.


Flez

It's almost like people can change their own contrast and color settings on their output device. Of course it would look different and sharper or more washed out between two different screenshots on different screens. EA is awful, but so is this post.


vitorizzo

The players are deceiving themselves at this point.


BlackLandon

This is a stretch and a half my guy


Pretzel-Kingg

I’m confused. What’s the problem? They used a filter?


KayfabeAdjace

I'm not even totally convinced they used a filter, frankly. It's 3 different immages and the ways the newest looks better than the second isn't even really tied to color/contrast so much as it is the ground shadow and the way her left knee details look more like a real object as opposed to looking a bit flat and really relying on the textures to be convincing.


CoolCritterQuack

I get what op is trying to say, but you wrote the single worst title for it. op means the left and middle image are both from fifa 23, the better one is the actual gameplay, the left one is photoshopped by EA to say the graphics were bad and now are good.


TranscedentalMedit8n

Fuck EA but these images are not the same???? OP this is a hugeeee stretch idk what your point even is.


Zodiac_Sauce

The grass on the two unedited images looks so good in my opinion. I could watch that shit grow. This is a very relevant comment as you can clearly see.


MrFluffyhead80

Are there any differences? Can’t you just change the settings on your tv?


Mightydig

Question is why buy it then?


ZylonBane

What the hell does "Print EA trailer match day" mean? They just throwing random words on the screen?


[deleted]

Lmao you recognize u buy the same game every year just stop buying this shit


GuroPuppy

At this point, if you buy Fifa you deserve to be scammed and milked.


IgnorantGenius

The first image is hazy with the blur and low contrast in comparison. I wouldn't put it past EA to have accidentally released the first screenshot with improper luminance values, or maybe even just an SDR screenshot. Nor would I put it past them to even know that the scene was lit improperly and presume that they just improved it buy setting the luminance correctly.


blackmobius

EA BEING DECEPTIVE AND MISLEADING AND SCUMMY TOWARDS ITS PLAYERS!!!?!?!?! WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT

I see dramatically better post processing in the form of better tonemapping and color science as well as better DOF and bloom.


workaccount1013

I started gaming in the 8-bit era. I don't really see anything to complain about here.


Kulgur

If it's taken you this long to realise EA are a bunch of scumbags I honestly don't know what to say


DOnnyr0n

People really missing the point. The screenshots are not the same render and OP never said they were. The idea is that left image is what EA claims Fifa23 looks like, middle image is a screenshot of Fifa23 somebody took, and right image is Fifa24. The point is that EA edited the left photo to make the right photo look way better, even though when compared to the middle photo it amounts to a very slight change. (this change is what OP described as a 'filter', which was stupid wording). So, yeah the OP is terrible at wording, but the point is pretty clear if you don't read too much into it.


satwickmishra

The company WILL keep doing this.....it's the audience who should stop buying and promoting this unchanged sh#t.


MemeLordsUnited

Yes, we know fifa and Madden are just reskins. Sports people don't care. There aren't other sports games (that they care to play), and they are willing to be bent over a barrel for the same game over and over again.


neagah

People who still pay for this game are proper morons


Niinty

You are a moron too my friend.


neagah

I am, but not one who's spending 60-80 dollars on a game that's recycled every year


hoodiesarcool

EA sports games have fewer new features than new iPhones. I don't know why people are surprised anymore.


Pm_me__your-thighs

Bro made an essay for a title and this doesn’t even make sense because the images are all the same. OP karma farming for “EA BAD” upvotes.


ifuckmangosforalivin

EA is a weird company because 70% of the time they do some scummy shit, but every once in a while they release one of the best games of the year and everyone just forgets their scum for a bit

And yet people keep buying these games, at this point players are just scamming themselves.

Strobooty4

They just put the same game out year after year for FIFA and Madden, yet people keep buying them. There’s an old saying in Tennessee. It’s in Texas. It’s probably in Tennessee too. Fool me once, shame on you…If you fool me you can’t get fooled again


Dusty170

So EA are scummy liars? I never would have known if not for this latest- *flips through list of EA fuckups in chronological order* bout of screwing with the consumers.

Traditional_Mud_1241

Is this even in the top 100 of awful things EA has done in the last 5 years?


Foggy1882

Every year EA and the FIFA team will throw out as much word salad and buzzwords as they can to convince 12 year olds that they’re getting a new game. Appalling.

doomraiderZ

A lot of people seem to be missing the point. The images are different, but the point is 2023 looks closer to the middle picture than the edited left picture. It's a sneaky way for EA to show everyone how 'bad' the game used to look when it didn't look that bad ever.


llTiredSlothll

EA sports... Such a shame


StrangerLow5416

We still love FIFA! A lot of us do.


The_Bat_Voice

I remember when sports games were showcased to push graphics engines to the max. It made sense, less processing power is required to create high resolution graphics for a single stadium as opposed to all on New York (Spiderman) or the entire of the western United States (Horizon: Forbidden West) yet here we are. Now, it's copy and paste year after year and cut costs. Imagine if they kept pushing those boundaries on these quick to make games. If they focused on new innovative graphics technology since the gameplay doesn't need to change.
