Madden NFL 15 Screenshot - Colin Kaepernick with Tattoos

Way better than last year, this was actually his Next-gen player model in Madden 25. It's night and day.

snap chatted this screen to my friend… i glanced at the pic…. thought it was a real pic of kap for a second

They actually got his skin color right, he's not white anymore.

I wouldn't be surprised if tattoos were limited to players who have some kind of star power at this point in development. Probably isn't possible, like with smaller NBA rosters, to customize everyone.

I see it as him having tattoos that are heavily blurred by the depth of field. Obviously not sure because who knows what new lighting there may be and how it reacts, but the coloration of his arm there, to me, looks like blurred tattoos.

That'd be a shame but it's a start I guess.
The attention to detail in Kaep's tats are pretty brilliant though. They're such a small thing in the grand scheme of the game but it adds a whole load of immersion if the players you're using actually look like the players you're using.

Well the RG3 Clip was touted as actual gameplay as well.

My theory is that they baited and switched us: that that RG3 clip was what we would be getting in year 2, while we were going to be stuck with a beta version of the Ignite engine for 25. Basically they weren't lying to us about the capabilities of the Ignite engine but rather when they would have said engine fully implemented (which is still pretty crappy on their part).

This makes me excited for the possible gameplay improvements, as I was underwhelmed when NG 25 came out. To me it was clearly a step up from last gen, but it didn't have the big leap that was implied by their talk about the Ignite Engine. Basically it felt like they improved the physics engine they introduced with Madden 13, rather than developing a brand new engine like they claimed they did for use in all of their sports titles.

Hope it plays like football. Plus have everything in Fran-mode. Hope its deep for real but will see.
