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

[SHAKYR]

It's EA fault they knew this for a while. They could have did this early in development but by mentioning it now. They make it seem like they put ina genuine effort.

Good question..but my thought is with all the sues out against NFL..NFL just doesn't want to deal with more..also ur talking about NBA has what 12/15 guys a team to NFL's 53..

EA Madden Marketing Best Practices Checklist:

1. Hype shiny object
2. Stay silent as core fans discover shiny object is much less than what it first appeared to be
3. PROFIT!

years and years of people saying "it isn't madden's fault... NFL won't allow tattoos in the game" seems to be flat out false..

Imagine all the other lies we are told... smh

A photograph of a person who has a tattoo is not an artistic recreation of said tattoo; the tattoo being the artist's original work. In this way, a photograph is markedly different from a video game asset.

All I'm saying is that it's going to look awkward & stand out if only Kap or a few players have tatts & no other players do. It's going to make you pay more attention to all the other players that don't have tatts but should have them in the game. I still say just wait til they're able to get most of the players artists permission & then add them.
