Forearm bands? (Romo, Rodgers, etc.)
1/2 QB Shirt Sleeves?
1/2 QB Jersey Sleeves?

We have had forearm bands they are just up too high, I want to move them down and improve the look of them trust me.

No we can't do this, some teams cut into decals and others don't, sorry it's because there is no geo there as there are holes in the helmet.

I think Kane keeps saying we have had forearm bands... and people are thinking he means they are new. But I get the feeling he is referring to the band that was already in the previous Madden's, the one that is kinda just right below the elbow. He wants to lower it so it looks better...... is what I am reading.

What he is saying is: What we'll get is what was there before... At least until EA has the technology to move the armband a few inches lower.

Kane is it possible to "tone" down all the pink during breast cancer awareness month? Some players wore pink accessories and some do not.

True it's way too overblown. Hardly any team in full pink cleats anymore. Pink accessories are fine but when the whole team is wearing pink like it's one of their primary colors it gets annoying.

Not a tech issue just an issue of priority.

I get not being able to do it now, but this wasn't a thought in 2004 and 2012 when the engines for those gens were being built (XBOX 360) and ported (PS4/XBOX One)?

Baffling bro. Baffling.
You're right, I've never seen a more realistic Michael Vick.

I don't think it's that they can't/won't more that they have to prioritize what makes it in. We NEED mouthpieces in the game along with ankle and knee braces, forearm bands, real single arm sleeves, and I think the devs no that, it's just a matter of how much they can get in during a cycle

To be fair we've come a long way since then. I mean look at the size of that football, the year they fixed it they didn't say "made the football smaller but now we can't have gloves"

I get that it's a bigger issue with messing up the face scan more than anything else but does that mean we'll never have mouth guards
 
# 194 skinnybonez @ 05/22/16 09:44 PM
How does the art team from other sports title have all of these scanned equipment, make them editable for individual players while still updating them through out the season and this game is struggling with basic accessories stuff, sigh frustrating
 
# 195 KANE699 @ 05/22/16 10:58 PM
Again it doesn't mess up the face scan, its because our mouths move and talk, we just have to invest time into making mouthpieces work and look great at the same time.

Preach!
What jumps at me the most if the difference in the uniform colors. Just look nothing alike.. You can say "probably different times of the day" all you want but I find it hard to believe those are the same colors by looking at that photo vs that screen, both are daytime games at GB
EDIT: Also as I've said many times, look at the difference in sleeve length... Somehow we're still working with 70's style sleeves hope this is one of the nuggets added as far as equipment in the presentation blog

Basically he's saying it will be in Madden 18
 
# 199 Jershy88 @ 05/23/16 09:39 AM
Chin pads and mouthpieces are two key pieces of equipment that can truly differentiate a player (really needed with generic rookies). Both unfortunately have no options, set at defaults. There is a huge difference in the chin pad Arron Rodgers wears and the one Joe a Flacco wears.

EDIT: Don't forget this though:



^^^ Madden always looked a generation behind its competitor graphically. Also note the Rams player (#35) wearing a... *GASP*... MOUTHPIECE!

P.S. You gotta admit, that still looks hot even to this day. What an amazing dev team the 2K Football Team was. They pulled off some things we'll probably never see again in our lifetime :-(
Yeesh, crazy we are STILL comparing a game in 2016 to one back in 2005. Tiered play calling, weekly game planning etc
