Why attantion to detail is important to programming

[Hambeau]

I know this is off topic and an entirely different game, but it's funny!

The new Madden Football apparently has one small tiny glitch embedded...

The player generation algorithm apparently uses a database of real life player stats. This is what happens when a 6'2" player is accidentally listed at 1'2"

Heh. Makes me think of Wee Mad Arthur from the Discworld series.

Would be more hilarious if his body wasn't scaled proportionally but only his legs and torso
A bit like baby zombies

Why can't short people play the NFL?

Too bad this is a console game. Imagine the modding possibilities

Funnily enough, we have a place for this. Moved. ​

In any case "attention" to spelling is also important, as pointed out by @Hambeau with his intentional mis-spelling of the word in the title.

Height is only a physical attribute, I'm sure Kirksey has the heart and soul of a true warrior...

[Hambeau]

Nobody expects the unexpected!

>attantion

heh.

You did mean to misspell that didn't you?

 

[Hambeau]

No. As I explained to AlCapella, Mea Culpa.

The Irony was pretty sweet, though

Every time I see the title of this thread it makes me giggle.

 

[buggirlexpres]

I can't un-see it now. The title is now the bane of my existence. -_-

 

[Hambeau]

Pay no heed to the derp behind the curtain...

Would say this be more of a database collection issue then anything. Someone should of added some code or query to make sure there was not anything too strange. But it's cute as hell.
