Very lame excuse IMO. See NBA 2K, WWE games, etc.

With this news, they only way it could be called a "victory" is if we'd be able to add tattoos to created players... Since it's already clear that it's not a permission from the NFL issue, there's no reason why it couldn't happen... Since they're going through the effort of adding them for one dude.

That's a great point. Do we know for a fact that the NBA games have them, but are all the players tats in?

I do know that in WWE games, some of CM Punk's tats are removed for legal reasons.

I don't pretend to know all this all works. I just like the idea of it coming back anyway it can.

That's exactly what I was thinking. It's really hard sometimes to tell a big difference in stills like it was sometimes with the 360/PS3 version vs. the XB1/PS4 version. You really had to see the game in-person to get the full impact of the differences. But with this pic comparison, the difference is pretty obvious, and pretty nuts:

Adding to this:
How would any actor/athlete w/tats ever do a photoshoot or appear in a card? Does that also require permission from the artist? Because it seems like very similar scenarios to me.

As it was mentioned above.... LAME excuse.

It's not as big of a deal for me to be in Create-A-Player, but I certainly understand why people want it in. I hope it is because the fans should be happy. I want CPU vs. CPU in offline franchise (Coach or Owner) but some people don't care for it as much as I do.

I guess what I am saying is that I'd rather Kaepernick have the tats with some not having them vs. no one having them in the game.
