Which is probably why there are 4-source light cubemaps for artificially-lit stadiums (domes/night games) but they don't actually work with the single source global lighting used in every stadium in the game... smh
This statement makes a shit-ton of sense...especially, if you step back and think.
Madden NFL 2001 was issued for PS2 in the Summer of 2000.
There have been minimal, minimal graphic improvements over the 13/14 year cycle of this particular generation. I think Madden 2012 was the final release for PS2/PSP.
Sure, they made improvements to gameplay, animations, stadiums, a couple helmets, but uniform quality, equipment, and the lighting contions stayed virtually the same.
This is even more asinine, because the full hardware capabilities of the Playstation 2 hadn't been fulfilled...PS2's were still warm from the factory in the year 2000.
