I guess its a situation where if the tattoo artist actually created the design instead of the consumer creating it and having the artist tattoo it then the artist retains some rights to it.

This is EA we're talking about. I bet only like 10 elite players have tats, 50 have face-scans and 25 of the NFL teams have the correct uniforms.

I've never ever in my life heard of tattoos being property of the NFL. Are they really saying that they need permission from the NFL to use tattoos? Like that's a seperate rights issue?

Only EA....

Because it's Tiburon and it's more BS, lol. Them dudes got excuses for everything.

Love reading the hype build up on here and then it all comes tumbling down! I think I have more fun reading about madden then I do playing the game. I get a little excited to see info released but I know better by now not to believe any of it. Screenshot looks nice but is it real? Does it really matter when the rest of the game needs work? Heres to another year of hoping n wishing for the best!

I don't buy the artist excuse. It's YOUR tattoo on YOUR body...how can somebody have rights over something that is part of you?

The second one I thought looked cartoonish. The first one looked great though. I think the final game actually looks on par with the first pic. As an example, here is an in-game shot I took a little while back:




The problem a lot of people had was that it didn't look quite on par with this:
