Colored gloves??? Please tell me EA knows...

You know there was a time when this kind of thing would have bothered me but now I just dont care. Maybe everyone would enjoy life more if they became a little more care free. I mean really is it that big of a deal to have colored gloves instead of grey.

If colored gloves can get you guys worked up so much it may be time for a new hobby.

The point is that they'll(EA) leave out things that are part of the game to go out of their way to have colored gloves and black visors that aren't allowed. It's called attention to detail. The fact that '08 is improved compared to '07 is BS. They should be fined or worse for releasing '07. The game is ok, but no more than that. I'm glad someone's okay with not having features that were in the game nearly a decade ago on an inferior system.

Did you see the post above by D_Dogg? Why would they have anything except what's in the game? The same goes for the dark visors. What gets me is that I've been extremely easy going for the past several years. Now, they all of a sudden act like they've never made a game before and have no idea what regulations to go by. I'm glad you're fine with paying for a product that gradually gets worse. I'm not gonna lose sleep over it but EA is stupid for even releasing screen shots without realizing they can't keep up with rules and regulations.

Yeah I know it is a rule but stuff like that just doesnt bother me as much anymore. If it plays well enough I overlook that stuff.

I hope this was just a early mistake by EA.

I see it once, go "oh that's cool," then almost never notice it again. What adds to game depth and replayability is gameplay. That's what will keep me coming back for me, not the field goal net going up a few times a game.

If they got that part right then maybe people wouldn't care so much about those things but they need to get something right. The game is just boring and maybe if they added some more little things there would be a reason to actually play.

I feel the same way. I understand people saying gameplay first, but IMO, if EA got more little things right and the game wasn't so damn boring, the gameplay flaws wouldn't stand out as much. I know for me if the game was more authentic, had excellent presentation, and they tightened up the gameplay, I really wouldn't have much to complain about.

exactly how I feel.
