Colin Kaepernick Will Be the Only Player in Madden NFL 15 with Tattoos

[bxphenom7]

L O L. However, there are other aspects of this game that are more important than putting in tattoos.

Tats or not, Kaep definitely looks better than he has in past Madden's.

Unfortunately, that's been lost in the shuffle with the tattoo discussion.

^True. Also the 49ers colors seem more right than they've been in a long time and I do like the way the jerseys look a little bit more like they're actually beeing worn by a person

Don't feel like reading this whole thread so idk if this has been asked but whose tattoos do you guys want to see? In all honesty I think kaepernick is the only player that I associate tattoos with. I know tons of players have them but what players are you going to look at in madden 15 and be disappointed their ink was left out?

Some may agree the timing was impeccable but I disagree strongly: tattoos in video games is not a novelty nor is the fashioning of Kap's tats.

Promote the use of ink when you have a solid clientele base otherwise your market push is premature esp if this is not used as a selling point to the consumer.

To have only one player out of hundreds model his ink screams of a waste of resources. They should at least give generic ink to the others who have ink but have not signed waivers.

This is basically a graphic demo - is this a new market EA will cater to?

It will be interesting to see if an image of Kap w/ his tats is used on the sleeve of the product as a marketing steak for the guys who salivate over these graphical add-ons.

LOL, how "new" is that market ? It seems like EA has been catering to that market for a decade.

2) Does the player own the tattoo IP in the first place? See 17 USC 201(b) Works made for hire. In the case of a work made for hire, the employer or other person for whom the work was prepared is considered the author for purposes of this title, and, unless the parties have expressly agreed otherwise in a written instrument signed by them, owns all of the rights comprised in the copyright. I'm curious (having no tattoos) if a tattoo artist retains the IP rights with a written instrument.

I'm not sure I'm understanding this.

If I own Company A and I create Company A's Widget the person I hire to run the CNC mill to cut my Widgets clearly doesn't own IP rights and the bill of sale for the "service" should suffice as a written agreement.

How do you claim IP rights on a service?

The sense of entitlement here is just absurd. People saying that EA might as well not have tats at all is laughable. Geez, a lot of you really do find the smallest things to nitpick. Why not look at it like an opportunity and a step in the right direction? Now that Kaepernick's gone and done the work to get his tats in the game maybe other players will want to follow suit. We just have to exercise patience but it seems like many people don't have any.

All people are saying is that it's going to look odd if only one player has tatts & nobody else does. What's wrong with preferring them to wait until they get most players artists permission to add them? How is that acting entitled? I would argue that by suggesting EA wait to add tattoos instead of rushing to add them to just a few players is exercising patience.

I can't say I'm surprised by this... Even if EA fully integrated tattoos into the game half of the players' tattoos would be missing, and it would be a half*** effort.

Says the guy who says "we're all bit**ing"? So someone who doesn't share the same opinion as you is bit**ing but we're the ones who need to grow up? Gotcha.....

It's not the fact that you or the other guy don't share my opinion, whatsoever. I really don't care about your opinion. Congrats you don't want 1 guy having tats and nobody else.

It's the fact that
1. we now have tats back in the game yet y'all are complaining now that it's only one confirmed player.
2. The article CLEARLY states that CK literally did this on his own, EA has faced lawsuits from tattoo artists before AND they will be doing more in the future

Complaining about this is childish. You would rather everyone rather than nobody? Congrats. But the fact that you guys can read but don't seem to comprehend is what pisses me off. Read the article again. Comprehend the article. Then speak your "opinion"

that's all any of us have been doing. and if you really don't care about other people's opinions what are you doing in an internet forum?

Re: Colin Kaepernick Will Be the Only Player in Madden NFL 15 with Tattoos

if they don't have authentic... id rather them not put some generic tattoo's in the game I remember the ones in the ps2 those were horriable and looked like lil kid scribbles.

EA obviously has some fine artists/programmers judging by the Kaep photo. If they made the tattoos more cool looking would ya rather have cool generic ones or none for everyone?

It's tattoos. You don't see them playing the game. None of you know what Kaep has tatted on his arms. Why is this such a big deal?

Oh and before you say "because it's my opinion and I want it this way". Just know that I absolutely love having as much customization and options as possible and I've been waiting for tats for 10 years to be back in. But the point is are you going to zoom in on every player and compare his in-game tat to his real life to see how close they got it? Nah. I doubt it.

You're missing my point. I'm not saying I don't care in the sense that he shouldn't have an opinion. If you look below that I said the fact that it clearly states as to why they don't have more tattoos because of legal reasons makes his argument look dumb. If you guys want all or nothing cool. But the fact that it is in the game and more are coming as well makes you seem like you're just picking anything to cry about. Tats are back in the game. The photo looks amazing. Why are y'all complaining?

Re: Colin Kaepernick Will Be the Only Player in Madden NFL 15 with Tattoos

Kaepernick and Aaron Hernandez are the only star players I can think of whose tats stand out. Hernandez obviously isn't in the NFL anymore. Patrick Willis has full sleeves but he looks fine without them.

I'm just really looking forward to seeing it in action next week. Even if he didn't have the tattoos the player model looks great this year compared to last year.

Tats are not back in the game a tat is in the game. I've already said why I don't like it I'm not gonna rehash. I just want to say that we are giving our opinions not just complaining to complain
