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

Is a cleat editor at all a possibility? Where you could create new colorways and have them stocked in a diff category? Would save the Dev's from creating 100% accurate colorways and simply put it in the hands of community!

Furthermore, like in 2k games, when editing a player, you have a home and away section! I know its long but some equipment junkies like myself don't mind and find it actually fun to spend hours creating diff colorways for shoes/cleats!

I haven't played madden since '13 and the simple addition of new equipment made me come back!

Hopefully a cleat editor will be an option in the future and patching new equipment all year long (I heard from Kane on a podcast that it wasn't an option this year)! Could put in the real shooting sleeves from the NBA and cleats like the Calvin Johnson one's who are my favourite and maybe colored visors! Bring back the old Carbon Vapor cleats (2010), these UA cleats , these two nike CLASSICS and ! Plus the black socks with a white sock underneath that shows just a little just like Doug Baldwin would be AWESOME (Makes the players look more ''sleeck'' and skinny looking which in my opinion give more player likeness!) And most of all, teams like pats,bears,bills,jets that in game don't let you control socks height is a downer...look at Brandon Marshall, his socks are all white and can barely see the green stripes or sometimes they're not at the same height! and sometimes you see the players knees! Finally, small details but some player like Revis tape two fingers together AND for the two arm long sleeve, some players have it really tight like in the game but some the long sleeves are reallllly loose/baggy or floaty like Patrick Peterson!

Sorry for the long post and LOVE this new equipment direction!

Keep up the good work EA!

The Equipment Guru tweeted out earlier this year that they can't add them in since players aren't allowed to wear them on Game day.

I'm curious to know if the new gloves have colors options?

Meaning can have Adidas gloves in team colors, white or black.

I'm not sure since Kane stated that these were the 2016 editions.

We currently don't have all white or all black versions for Under Armour gloves but that's it.

One more question... Can all brands of cleats be all white?

Yes. I asked Kane about the colorway. So white/ white will be just that. black/ white will be just that. White/ primary could be duel palletized colors which would be nice for teams like the 49ers , lions , Giants and redskins. So far the Cowboys and raiders only have a single palletized color when choosing white / primary, or white secondary. The rest of the teams will showcase 2 colors when choosing those . Some teams cleats are going to be down right sweet while other teams will need some work around a to equip players with Thier respectable cleat and colorway.

This is a white /primary cleat for the Rams Attachment 121806
 
# 156 Brooke2011 @ 07/08/16 05:59 PM
This is a white / primary for the Cowboys Attachment 121807
 
# 157 Brooke2011 @ 07/08/16 06:02 PM
What's nice about some teams is this color combo will be available when choosing white / primary now Attachment 121808. . This is very cool for some teams and it will def add that true authenticity to the game

Exactly ,the Rams are one of many teams with duel colors when you choose white / primary cleat color. For example , last year if you chose white /primary for the Patriots, you got white with blue accents . This year you will get blue with red accents for that colorway .
