You do know that EA isn't the one asking for payment, right? I could try and explain this further, but you (and others) seem to continually fail to read it.

Last year:
"I'm insulted that you only put out three uniform packs! I had to wait WEEKS between updates! And this pricing is abhorrent!"

This year:
"I'm insulted that you chose to put out this completely optional item and that you then were forced to assign a cost to this optional item. It came out too soon since it doesn't have everything I think it should!"

Next year:
"Why are you releasing all these uniforms?! I can't even customize my coaches headset!!!1"

For pack #5, maybe we get some shoelaces.

If I remember last year's packs correctly they were priced based off the number of teams in a pack regardless of the content that the pack contained. Most were more than $1 as well, IIRC. I'm betting that the reason they're putting these out in smaller increments is to keep up with the communities wish for much more frequent updates rather than trying to nickle and dime the end-user. Long and the short of my point here is this: stop complaining about them not doing what you think they should do. Be grateful for what you're getting and stop looking this gift-horse in the mouth! At least updates are coming, even if they aren't complete uniforms every single time. Plus it's not like they're forcing you to buy these extras they are still putting out while trying to plan for and develop the next-generation of College Football games. If you don't like it for some reason, then don't buy the darned thing.

The only way this pack is acceptable to put out is if they are currently working on another huge pack with actual uniform parts to address the out of date default uniforms.

As for the gift horse comment, we're paying for these which negates that proverb from being applicable, if we're going to be putting down money (no matter how cheap it is), then we absolutely should take a close, and scrutinizing look at what we are purchasing.

Our main complaint is that we don't really care about gloves, they are a nice addition, but should be the last thing on EA's mind when it comes to updating uniforms. I have no idea what their process for this is, but if they are spending any significant amount of time getting gloves into the game then they are doing it wrong. The department in charge of updating uniforms should be putting all their focus on updating default uniforms before focusing on gloves (if gloves are super easy to update that's one thing, but if they take effort that could be applied to jerseys, pants, and helmets then they should take the back seat in these updates).

There are glaring examples of issues with uniforms in this game (VT is in Year 2 of 2 sets of TV numbers on their Orange jerseys, Rice has 2 sets of TV numbers on their uniforms, which is odd because they have no TV numbers in real life, Arkansas State's Red Alternates have 3 TV numbers (2 on the sleeve, 1 on one shoulder), when those jerseys don't have TV numbers). How are these errors not being addressed? They screwed these up when they shipped the game (and in VT's case had an entire year to fix it, but didn't), these should have been addressed in the free pack, or at the very least one of the following 3 packs. Instead we get gloves for teams whose uniforms are out of date, as well as Bowl helmets (stuff worn in December, well before the mid-April cutoff date).

We're happy about the more frequent updates, however we still have a right to complain about their contents. And considering last year we only got 1 update for teams not supplied by Adidas or Under Armor, we had plenty of reason to complain, and 2 or 3 weeks in between releases would still be infinitely better than the rate it was last year.

Our problem last year was frequency AND content (only Adidas until December when 2 Under Armor packs came out), to say that EA is doing the right thing by addressing only one of those, and thus is immune to criticism is ludicrous.

Umm...yes they are. That's the whole point of DLC.

Lol at EA not wanting to charge for DLC. Credibility of that argument? Gone.

Every single one of us in this thread is grateful. I love how EA is continually releasing uniform updates.

The main complaint is that a lot of schools in the game don't even have their proper uniforms. I'm all for releasing limited one time wear uniforms or gloves for teams. But can't get get every school's uniforms up to date first? I feel like now that it's week five in CFB, EA should know that Nebraska's, Rice's, and Nevada's uniforms all look different, just to name a few. I just want every teams uniform set correct before we start releasing "one time wear" gear.

Yeah, because glove palms are artwork, not physical pieces.

# 69 Adder15 @ 09/25/13 09:02 PM

There should be the nike solid white, black and team colored and secondary colored gloves.

# 70 Pezell04x @ 09/25/13 09:38 PM

The numbers found on the Sleeves or Shoulders, they are there to help spotters identify players from the booth (originally used for Radio, and now TV). The NFL requires them, except when a team is wearing an historically accurate throwback (even in 1994 when every team was required to wear throwbacks for a number of games some teams added TV numbers for the convenience they provide).

It's weird that Nebraska now has two white helmets, two white socks, two white shoes and two adiZero - Special gloves... but they are all identical. I assume they are there as place holders for the 2013 black uniforms which had a white helmet, white socks and shoes and unique gloves but still weird that they are listed like that and identical to the current gear.

# 73 SpartyParty11 @ 09/26/13 09:30 AM

I would like to see pics of this uni pack before I buy them. Especially with what happened with PSN 2 years ago. I haven't bought anything on the PSN in close to 4 years. I'm curious to see the MSU chrome helmets. I do plan on buying all the uni packs this year

# 74 Ban_Irl @ 09/26/13 02:02 PM

Can't see paying for gloves on teams I may never see or use. New gloves does not equal new uniforms in my book. Answer is "No, I do not plan on getting this"

4 uni updates in and EA is still to stupid to add the new IU helmets.

I wouldn't assume anything. Nebraska is not the only team with the "twos".

Im so tired of gloves. Seriously who cares about gloves?

There are a lot of people on here who care about gloves. Personally I'm not one of them. Gloves are a nice addition but shouldn't be worried about until any/all jersey updates are done.

# 80 RHutch @ 09/26/13 06:49 PM

For those griping about the lack of specific items per pack stop and think about it. Would you rather pay more money and get a bigger pack that contains stuff that you don't care about or have multiple packs that come out on a regular basis where you can pick and choose which uniform updates you want at a much lower cost.
