You don't have to buy it.

Maybe 2K and WWE have different policies in place regarding this. Maybe they approached the issue differently as to avoid potential legalities.

We don't have all the facts and yet you have contempt prior to investigation.

All I'm saying is we don't know exactly why, maybe with more information we'll have a better understanding.

Better yet, we get to E3, they explain the screenshot as: "Yeah, we gave Kaptain Colin and seven other players tattoos. That's it. That's all we're saying. Moving on." And then we never know. I sure hope they explain.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Screenshot - Colin Kaepernick with Tattoos

For what's it's worth, taken from the mesteveo THQ article:

And, come to think of it, it's not something any maker of sports video games where real-world athletes and their real-world tats appear. I'm thinking specifically of NBA games. The NBA has a photo day in which every feature of a player's (uniformed) body is photographed up close. I've seen the images. I asked a designer what possible purpose they serve other than to assist video game artists in recreating those tattoos. "Beats me," he shrugged.P

I know that some players' tattoos are missing in NBA 2K13; it's possible this is the reason why. But given the enormous volume of body art in that league, it's almost a certainty someone else is going to pinch a publisher for money down the road.

Sounds like a slippery slope. Remember, EA has been sued by everyone and their brother lately.

Just saying.

Same Question hit a FIFA developer:

Why don't tattooed players have their tattoos in the game? (Stuart Maughan)

It's a long and complicated story but all different reasons, really. Sometimes we don't have permission to use them; there's a bunch of different reasons for that. We actually get emails and messages from the players more than the fans saying, 'Where's my tattoo?' The copyrights around tattoos is really interesting, you'd be surprised."

That could have been a shot of Marcus Mariota or Nick Marshall this year.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Screenshot - Colin Kaepernick with Tattoos

There's no Fighter Share or Logo/Content Share in EA UFC because of this...

It sucks and I can't say that I even understand it. I mean, 2K can have things like tattoos and the ability to share Draft Classes, but EA cannot?

I agree with Boltman though, it's hard to judge without really knowing the facts... I just hope this doesn't become the norm. I can only imagine watching the world burn if players in NBA 2K15 come out with bare, tattoo-less arms.

Im with you, for years misinformation was spread by users on this forum about how the NFL banned tattoos and now it turns out people were wrong and some light is being shed, we get guys saying now the reason is that EA is lazy. Like you said we should wait for facts to come out instead of jumping to conclusions and being wrong like most of us were before.
