When the first visuals from Madden NFL 13 arrived feedback on the new score bug started rolling in and for all the wrong reasons. I was immediately struck by how cheesy it looked and many similar feelings were expressed in responses and within the community. EA Sports today sent out a look at the score bug as it stands now which has been completely revamped marking drastic improvement. The above image shows the previous version and below the new one.
The redesigned score bug is much more modern and sleek bringing it more in line with what is seen now on television broadcasts. Given that it’s something that is looked at constantly it’s important that it be aesthetically pleasing and have that network feel about it.
