Another thread: VC, Let's Talk Helmets and Accessories (Help needed)

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Yes, and EASY options. Also, I still don't know why we don't get a helmet popping off animation. That could really show off VC's good player faces.

Bottom line is they need to significantly upgrade player models to be competitive. Helmets, facemasks, and those god awful flat chests. It can't be that hard to find an artist that can draw a good football player model.

That guy has some long arms....not gator arms like the players in 2k4. Hope thats addressed in 2k5.

Also, notice the shoulder pad style....how his deltiods(shoulder muscle) show? That'd be an awesome detail to have in the game...other guys wear that style also...

Dwight Freeney
Julian Peterson
Boss Bailey
Michael Strahan
Amani Toomer
Michael Vick

Just to name a few. Along with the thigh pad option that Goober mentioned, I think Shoulder pad style should be an option as well. Probably won't happen this yr though.

^^^I agree. Some players have their sleeves untucked while others have them rolled all the way up. I would definitely like to see that as well.

Can the Saints' helmets please get fixed this year? For the last several years, they've given them a tan halmet with a black stripe down the center and two white stripes on either side. It's the exact opposite...one white stripe, two black ones.

See, that's development teams need. Feedback from fans OF the team. I would have never thought about the stripes, but as for the tan, yeah, they are bad like the 49ers. Although each teams' gold is DIFFERENT:



Saints' striping...black-white-black



Note the difference in the gold tone. It surprises me that the game's color palette seems so limited.



See the difference?

Hey, they don't have taped up arms in the game do they. This is an old pic, but you still see it. Especially O-lineman.

How about those ugly long sleeves some teams have? For example, the teel sleeves for Carolina, or the goldish/tan sleeves for the Saints. They simply don't wear these so the colors should not even be an option to use. VC can just eliminate those sleeve colors completely.

I hope VC pays attention to this thread because with improved equipment and player models, along with the graphics, this game will be top-notch.
