EA shipped a neural network system called Swish in Madden NFL 21 (2020) that simulates how clothing and fabric move on players in real time. It was one of the first AI-driven visual effects of its kind delivered directly to players in a live game.

Developed by SEED, Swish replaced traditional hand-tuned cloth physics rules with a neural network trained to replicate realistic stretch, flow, and collision behavior. Because the network learned these behaviors from data rather than being manually programmed, it can handle a wider range of motion types with less engineering overhead. EA described it as a milestone toward physics systems that learn rather than follow fixed rules.
