Colin Kaepernick Will Be the Only Player in Madden NFL 15 with Tattoos

[bxphenom7]

L O L. However, there are other aspects of this game that are more important than putting in tattoos.

Unfortunately, that's been lost in the shuffle with the tattoo discussion.

^True. Also the 49ers colors seem more right than they've been in a long time and I do like the way the jerseys look a little bit more like they're actually beeing worn by a person

Don't feel like reading this whole thread so idk if this has been asked but whose tattoos do you guys want to see? In all honesty I think kaepernick is the only player that I associate tattoos with. I know tons of players have them but what players are you going to look at in madden 15 and be disappointed their ink was left out?

Promote the use of ink when you have a solid clientele base otherwise your market push is premature esp if this is not used as a selling point to the consumer. To have only one player out of hundreds model his ink screams of a waste of resources. They should at least give generic ink to the others who have ink but have not signed waivers. This is basically a graphic demo - is this a new market EA will cater to? It will be interesting to see if an image of Kap w/ his tats is used on the sleeve of the product as a marketing steak for the guys who salivate over these graphical add-ons.

LOL, how "new" is that market ? It seems like EA has been catering to that market for a decade.

I'm curious (having no tattoos) if a tattoo artist retains the IP rights with a written instrument.

I'm not sure I'm understanding this.

If I own Company A and I create Company A's Widget the person I hire to run the CNC mill to cut my Widgets clearly doesn't own IP rights and the bill of sale for the "service" should suffice as a written agreement.

How do you claim IP rights on a service?

We just have to exercise patience but it seems like many people don't have any.

All people are saying is that it's going to look odd if only one player has tatts & nobody else does. What's wrong with preferring them to wait until they get most players artists permission to add them? How is that acting entitled? I would argue that by suggesting EA wait to add tattoos instead of rushing to add them to just a few players is exercising patience.

I can't say I'm surprised by this... Even if EA fully integrated tattoos into the game half of the players' tattoos would be missing, and it would be a half*** effort.
