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

Yes!!!!

And it drives me nuts how off the Packers uniform colors are.

There's a reason they no longer use that motto.

I'm not an equipment guy. I honestly never notice it. Occasionally, I'll change someone's shoes in 2K once they achieve "star"status. To me its more of a "little thing". But its big to others. We all pay the same 60$ and we all have different wants. On Madden, I think it's great that they (developers) are stepping in and taking fire. The community is passionate and they are standing in there taking it. The Internet is savage. OS doesnt have anything on Twitter and Facebook. Lol. I don't ever recall Madden debs this active before and that makes me even more confident, believe it or not, in the future. In some ways it feels like eh are paying for the sins of past Maddens. I get it. Most of this stuff should be in the game already. But at the same time this is a different Madden team. To me, anyway. I'd like to think that they "get it" and will work towards giving the entire community what it wants.

They are absolutely targeting to get it in the game. Kane himself said as much. So what's the problem, exactly?

Like, at no point has anyone from EA said "we don't care about authenticity this isn't getting in the game." They're actively working on it. They bring community people in for feedback, they've hired people from this forum to work there; it's obvious there's an effort.

Essential to an on-field football player in real life, sure. Essential to properly representing the sport of football in a video game? Not at all, I can think of literally thousands of things that are more important.

	You know that's not what I said.

You're the one calling it "essential". You just did again. In the context of a video game, no. It's absolutely not. It's a cosmetic option. That's all it is.

A virtual video game football player doesn't require a virtual mouthpiece to play virtual football. The video game has no gameplay mechanics which rely on player equipment load-outs. Every equipment option is purely cosmetic as far as the video game is concerned.

Of all the issues to take with Madden, which there are plenty, this for me is quite possibly literally at the bottom of the list. Faulting EA for choosing to leave out mouthpieces in favor of delivering other features IMO is absolutely pedantic and reeks of looking for reasons to be disappointed in the game.

I could just be completely off base here, but does the current game not utter the phrase with the age-old announcer every time it boots up?

I think it just says EA Sports now instead of EA Sports it's in the game.

Nah it doesn't I honestly don't remember hearing it since the 2005 games came out.

It does in 16. Says the whole thing right at startup.

Thanks, thought I was going crazy there for a second.

In fact I think "It's In The Game" was adopted as the official slogan of Electronic Arts after it succeeded with EA Sports.

Anyway that's way off-topic. Back to equipment discussion. Apologies for side-tracking.

I see it as animated mouthpieces, meaning players take them in/out during games, chew on them, they fall to the ground, etc, that would be a feature but not just having cosmetic mouthpieces, which is what I'm referring to.

Based on what though? Serious question. If the guy who was hired specifically to work on equipment comes in the thread and tells you exactly why it's not in the game but that he wants to do it, then what reason is there for it to "just be there by now," other than a (frankly) arbitrary line of demarcation that some people have chosen to draw in the sand with regards to this game?

Whether it should be there doesn't change the fact that the thing is currently not there and also that making it so will take real man-hours to implement, and it will likely continue to not be there as long as Tiburon determines that there are more important features to deliver into the game.

Scolding the game by saying "it should be there by now" is a useless and counterproductive exercise.

I use the flipboard app on my phone, and one of the newsfeeds is NFL. The other day as I was flipping through, I noticed something, here are the pics from the first few headlines. Seemed like every pic had a player with a mouthpiece. Made me think of this discussion. I actually realy like the Madden game visuals, I just feel like accurate player likeness is an area that Madden seriously fails in, it would just be a huge step towards fixing that. The only reason I am adamant about it.

If that's the case, when does it become important? They went a whole generation without them.

They went many versions of the game without really touching equipment(cleats, gloves).

Like I said it just seems like they ignore stuff until people yell loud enough.
There's always stuff they seemed to have deemed more important. Seems like scolding the game and telling them this stuff should've been changed and addressed is the only way it gets changed and addressed.

Makes sense especially considering one job of a mouth guard is to protect against concussion caused by the jaw snapping together. Can't believe they aren't mandatory in the NFL but you have to cover your knees bc no one wants to see that lol

Towels and hand warmers aren't essential to the game but they made a big deal out of it when they added them citing autheticity(and it still aggravates me when a towel starts clipping through players bodies lol)

Clipping is just a technicality we have to live with...

To the specific point about the reason given, I already explained in my previous post, I'm not referring to animated mouthpieces, which it seems to me Kane was, I'm referring to cosmetic mouthpieces. So let me seriously ask you, what's your general point, that they're not in so move on, no need in discussing it or having an opinion it?

I mean what more can you do? They're not in. They aren't gonna be in this year. They know we want them in. No sense harping on it forever. The horse has been beaten, there's nothing left of it.

Regardless of the reason, it's not happening this year.

So we can go two ways. We can continue to post page after page asking why they can't put them in, why they don't think they are a priority, calling devs lazy, and so on and so forth. This all leads to nonconstructive posts, and potential bans.

If you can't let it go here, then get on twitter and pester the developers to your hearts content. I'm sure you (everyone, not directed at you) will get blocked.

Or we can move on. Discuss other things, get back to a less toxic discussion.

I think its time we moved on. I think everything that can be said has been said.
