I don't believe they are. The players have always looked too big to me, but I have no data to back this up - just the eyeball test.

Looks like secondary color cleats...(for UF) you could only wear orange last year IIRC




LOL, yes OS. This must have been recent, because I remember that being posted just a week or 2 ago...





After seeing that, it makes me wonder how hard it is to get these in the game:



We need this option, the vapors with the team color as base.

Damn, that is sweet - hopefully its in.

Definitely this. With the primary and secondary colors as options would add a lot to the realism.

No, we don't.








I'm afraid I don't want to spend the rest of my life drooling over uni combos

And some of us don't want to spend the rest of our lives drooling over multiple hit tackles, but that doesn't mean they don't need to be there. Tackling is as much of the sports as uniforms are. Every time you watch a football game you are guaranteed to see uniforms and tackles made unless it is flag or touch football, then it is just uniforms.

I understand this not bothering someone visually that bad but if it is in fact off like you describe, that's a serious foundational issue, IMO. If the field and players are not scaled close to accurate, then that has to be skewing other areas as well. I will refrain from going into some long rant but how can things like routes, QB drop backs, field measurements, speed/jump ratings and spacing be simulated well IF the scaling foundation is that far off?
