Cowboys' Tyrone Crawford gets EA Sports to slim down his 'humpty-dumpty' Madden body
It took less than 24 hours for Dallas Cowboys defensive end Tyrone Crawford to slim down. But his transformation was all virtual.
EA Sports granted a change request on Monday to Crawford, altering the player's virtual likeness in the Madden 19 video game after Crawford complained that his virtual body looked like "humpty-dumpty."
"This is unacceptable," Crawford tweeted at EA Sports' Twitter account on Sunday night. "Forget my stats. What’s up with the photo? Who on your staff felt it ok to make my body look like humpty-dumpty? I DEMAND A REVIEW!"
Crawford later tweeted a photo of himself looking much skinnier than the virtual version before adding, "Come on. I mean it's 2018. We have to be better!"
EA Sports tweeted back at Crawford on Monday with an "under review" stamp over the original image. Then the video game company tweeted a much slimmer virtual version of Crawford.
Crawford was finally satisfied.
"We can be friends again," he quipped on Twitter.
