EA Sports will release Madden 23 to the public on Friday, August 19 but for many professional athletes, celebrities and content creators, they’ve already secured an early release.
One person lucky enough to be granted early access was New York Giants cornerback Julian Love. But that’s where the fun ended.
When checking out his own likeness, Love came across an abomination. And he let EA Sports hear about it via Twitter.

Not only does Love’s character look nothing like him, he seems to have some odd floating hair. It’s as if the company spliced together the old Janoris Jenkins model with a touch of Saquon Barkley and Brandon Marshall.
Several other NFL players also publicly griped about their likeness but it didn’t stop there. There have also been complaints about the gameplay, which Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton touched on after his first game.

That’s a rough start for EA Sports and following the public release, many more complaints are likely to flow in.
