Chiefs’ Chris Jones voices displeasure over ‘Madden NFL 24’ avatar

Fans of the ubiquitous “Madden NFL” video game franchise have been irked by many of the title’s quirks and outright flaws over the years.

Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones’ frustration reached another level this week after seeing his avatar for the upcoming iteration of the storied franchise. Despite his generous 96-overall rating, it seems that the game’s publisher, EA Sports, fell short of the mark in digitally recreating the lineman’s visage. As one of Madden’s top-rated players, one might expect Jones’ avatar to at least somewhat resemble his meat-world likeness, but the lack of detail in this model is striking, to say the least.

 

Jones wasn’t content to complain about the facial recognition with the lone Tweet sent on Monday. He followed it up a with more direct complaint on Tuesday, claiming that he’d continue tweeting about it until his avatar situation was settled.

 

The deafening silence from EA Sports was palpable, and as of the time of writing, the issue does not seem to have been resolved.

 

Perhaps the AAA developer can be spurred to action by Chiefs fans who won’t be content with another carbon-copy release of the beloved game, but if history tells us anything, Jones’ complaint may fall on deaf ears.

Perhaps when the company releases another true-to-life football simulation like “NFL Head Coach 2006,” fans will be able to forgive their lack of fidelity to the game of football and its players in the Madden franchise.
