For some reason, I was just thinking about how weird it was that every player sprite in Madden '97 (on PlayStation and Saturn, anyway) had the number 88 on the back of its jersey (I assume due to memory limitations). This got me to thinking about weird graphical compromises in general. I mean, if you can't put the correct number on a player in a sports game, then why even bother putting a number on the sprite, anyway? I believe that this only happened for one year (although I don't know if it happened with other football series).
What other weird graphical compromises that didn't really make a lot of sense can you think of?
