Profile pic has him wearing Riddell, pic might be from 15. I checked on 16 and the Riddell bulges at the ear holes where the Wilson does not. You're right that Staubach once wore a Riddell TK, but then he switched to Maxpro. I have a lot of players on my historic roster wearing Wilson also. Gives it a lot of diversity when you have that option along with Riddell TK. Also, in 16, different player heads filled/fit the Riddell and Wilson helmets differently from player to player, so I used what looked best in some cases. Any help is appreciated Thanks.

I don't know if it was Madden or NCAA, but there was a game with the option to only wear sleeves in cold weather. That's what I want, an always/never/cold weather option for sleeves

Does this piss anyone else off? I don't really give a F about stuff I can't see when actually playing

What are you talking about? If you mean the fact that they took the time to add tons of authentic equipment, that was sorely needed. It add so much authenticity to the game.

Nope, I'm not a equipment person, but it adds to the immersion of the game, so, glad it's been updated.

And some people won't really give a hoot about your opinion, either.

I think it varies depending on the cleats the player is wearing . I believe it's the only way they could mismatch colors without having the entire team wearing the same colors if that makes sense.

I wouldn't notice any of the equipment additions other than one armed sleeves if it weren't for this thread, but I do like the new apparel for the coaches
