Colin Kaepernick Will Be the Only Player in Madden NFL 15 with Tattoos

Should definitely have generic types of tattoos. You can pretty much do a few generics of multiple types; shoulder, forearm, whole sleeve ("tribal," Polynesian, religious icon, etc...) you've generally got a decent stand in for most tatted players.

I'm starting to think I am but, am I the only person who wouldn't even recognize fake tattoos from real ones?

Another reason why generic tats are gonna be the way to go for the time being is how long have some players been in the league and they STILL don't have their face scanned?


How long do you think it is going to take EA and the players for that matter to track down every tattoo artist for every player in the NFL that has tats? Not to mention every year a whole new class of player come in the league.


I would say now that they made the leap to do this. Having some generic tats to slap on is the way EA SHOULD go.

IMO, no. After giving it some thought, I honestly couldn't accurately describe any famous athletes tats not to mention the lesser known players. Like someone stated, sure the hardcore fanatics would know the tats of their guys but I doubt their whole team. Not to mention the uniforms in the the game would cover most of the player's body anyway. So it would essentially be looking at actual photos of real player uniform ad creating generics for exposed tats.

Like I said though, it would be something if out of all the generic stuff used in-game, some of which they are even licensed to make authentic, player tattoos was what the masses rallied behind to demand authenticity for over generics. Stranger things have happened I'm sure.

In the age of easily shareable video and threads celebrating the photographic side of these games I don't see generics ever happening... can see both sides of that argument though.

It's an interesting debate. Fake or none. I personally can't recall any players tattoos especially in football. But some people complain if a players FaceMask is wrong.

Which is the point I was trying to make, considering they still include them wrong in-game rather than the player having no facemask. Same thing with tats, sure some might complain about them not being right but I think that's better than no ink period. Hopefully Clint was just being sarcastic with that tweet and the addition of the authentic tattoos leads to generics in M16.

We already been down this path re; Kap being the only auhentic owner of tats and the rest rocking generics since day 1 when they released the announcement of Kap being the only one who will rock authentic tats until others get their rights released.

I appreciate seeing a response from EA tho re it is not Sim - would like to see that stance in the coming future re gameplay designs.
