    Not Able to Mix & Match Uniforms

    Went to play this morning and noticed it is no longer possible to mix and match uniform pieces like classic helmets, pants, jerseys, etc. with current uniform pieces. It is only possible to choose classic uniform combos as a set piece. Anybody else notice this? Is this an error on EA's part? We have been able to do this for years now. Seems odd to have removed it.

    Are you serious?? That is ridiculous. The only reason I can think of relates to the field art alignment.

    Can’t you mix and match in the custom home and away uniform options ? It looks like choices are unlocked on the custom setting.

        If you wear for example the Titans Oilers outfit then their home field will reflect what they wear.

          But only the "current" Nike throwbacks. If you wear other throwbacks, the field art remains the default.

            It depends on the preset. They added a new "CanRemix" checkbox to each preset file under the hood and some of them have it turned off.

            Some uniforms are fully composited while others are not, so there is the possibility that this is the reason for this, some incompatibility between composited and traditional uniform files.

              Can they fully composite all the other uniforms via patch and then enable it, in theory?

                Yes, I noticed this and it made me sad and angry too. As a Dolphins fan, I've been mixing and matching to get it to look right for years, because the current set is garbage. So I use the ones from the 70s, 80s and 00s to get the look right. And now I apparently can't do that any longer.

                  I use to do the same with my Niners when wanting to wear the 1996-97 style unis....I could always use the '94 throwback pants with the 1998 uniforms and have a pretty nice representation of the 1996-97 look. Hopefully they patch that capability back in as it looks like its just tied to the old throwbacks.

                    They could, but I'd be surprised if they did this year since it's a not insignificant amount of work to rebuild the uniforms.

                      Having played well into my season, messing around with opponent uniforms I see that for some teams, mixing and matching is indeed fully possible. But they locked it on others. Given that this wasn't the case before, I wonder if it came down as an order from the league or Nike? Why else prevent people from swapping around parts to create something akin to a set that's not represented in the game?

                      For example, I would frequently take the Dolphins 1984 helmet, 84 away jersey, early 2000s aqua pants, and 1970s socks with aqua/white shoes to achieve the look the team had on the road in the 90s, which is my personal favorite. This had been possible for several years now, but is now locked. I'm not a big fan of the current throwback because it has a grey facemask instead of aqua. and all of the accesories become black or white instead of team color because its based on the 1966 look.

                        I mentioned this a few Madden’s ago, and luckily, someone from the community had a solution. Da Bears “Fictional” Orange Pants were included in M25 without having to dig them out in Custom Home/Away Creation/Edit Screen. It seems like they may have been taken out in the regular uniform selection menu and in the edit feature. From what I’ve seen so far, it’s limited to just the home pants, the away pants, and the current classic alternates for Da Bears. In the regular uniform selection menu, you can mix and match all of available uniforms though.

                          Thats so weird, that its allowed for some teams and not for others. There has to be some hidden reason, especially since you could do it the last few years with any of them.

                            While I was excited to have the retro field art when I play as the Dolphins, I am disappointed you can only get the field art when you wear the home throwbacks. If you wear the away throwbacks at home, you get the current Dolphin logo at midfield. i tried it with Tamps Bay as well, and it is the same thing. I wish they could just give us the option to choose the field artwork.
