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

Why is EA and a lot of people always concerned with details like this that you will hardly ever see while playing the game? Focus on making the gameplay better!!!!

NFLPA is different than the NBA.... just so you guys understand.

I think its corny to only have his. All or none. Or get permission from the players to place a similar/generic one on instead.

Why is it going to look odd? If you play as the Niners, he'll look like Kap. Let's face it, Kap's tats are a big part of his image. Without his tats, "Kaepernicking" makes no sense. I really don'tthink DeSean Jackson is known everywhere for his tats.

And if you don't play as San Fran, how often are you going to see Kap's arms, anyway? Even online, if you're spending your time thinking "man that totally looks awkward!" instead of focusing on your opponent, then you're doing it wrong.

The blind EA hate ITT is beyond ridiculously stupid. You guys say they should do all or nothing? If Kap put in the time (and most likely money) to get waivers signed, then why shouldn't he get to see himself portrayed accurately? Why should he be punished for going the extra mile when other players didn't? And to go with the "all or nothing" logic, what if 90% of the players secured waivers, but 10% didn't? Should EA still leave them out of the game because "it should be all or nothing"? I swear, if this is the worst thing you ever have to worry about, then you're pretty lucky in life.

Couldn't care less about tats. Have them, don't have them, I just don't care. There are so many more important aspects to a football videogame, I can't believe this is even a topic.

Sad, but true. This is why we don't have direct interaction with the developers anymore.

It never amazes me how ignorant a lot of people are in the world, that's why I'm in the business of selling. You can sell people anything and they will buy it because their expectations are so low and they will settle for anything. Time and time again EA Sports has failed with mediocrity and lies to make money and people keep shelling it out and making excuses for the reason to spend on a game that's still stuck in PS2/XBOX era. It has yet to make it to last gen! ... despite what others have shown what can be done and have raise the bar. This is the very reason why they bought the license because they couldn't compete. For all the people that say it's the NFL who wanted this is nuts! If that's the case then why pursue college football as well? they knew 2k Sports was on a level they couldn't compete with, so they made sure they took both license. This screenshot that got some people excited could have been done on last gen. This is not next gen, stop settling, expect more ! demand more! never stop pushing the envelope. So glad that didn't get basketball too, people would be praising how good NBA Live 14 look ... and we know that's garbage because another game has shown the possibility to do more and expect more.
