Player Tattoos?

[Finsfan46]

I would put money on it just being that the EA dev's just do not want to do it right now.

I just can not see the NFL putting this in some contract..... I mean, the players DO have tat's, there is no league rule to not having tat's (that would be crazy)....but there is no way the NFL could or would say, if it's in Madden it will shine a bad light on the NFL.

The reason it was in last gen vs. current gen is because there was no exclusive license then so the NFL had no grounds to dictate what they did or didn't want.

I agree with this guy, i would like to hear why EA is aloud to put tattoos in the old gen but not new gen.

Read the posts before yours.
The reason why tattoos aren't in bothers me more than tattoos not actually being in.

Thats pretty much it...The PS2 games were under a differant license structure...I may be wrong.....I think its silly, but the NFL has the final say on EVERYTHING in madden. Main reason why we will never have player personality features.

I wouldn't say never (I would go with more than likely) because remember up until this season this was the reason given for not having adjustable sock lengths.

Since it's illegal IRL the NFL wouldn't let Madden do it but apparently one side budged this year, who knows, maybe tattoos or player personalities is next year.
