Can EA make the AFL Jerseys available before wk1?

The Raiders may stink on the field right now, but they look good doing it.

Someone needs to tell that to the Steelers so they'll stop wearing that stupid yellow helmet. (which, btw, doesn't have a historically accurate logo on it)

I am still frustrated with the zero updates on the AFL Legacy unis issue.
They were honestly the first thing I looked for when I opened the game before I started playing (since I already had the demo).

I was reading on this forum that they found out about the NFLs emphasis on the AFL legacy 'late in the cycle.', meaning their dev cycle (from Phil Frazier). The coaches meeting was in May I believe, which is when I think they really started pushing the AFL idea, so as far as an August release goes, this could be considered kind of late.

Though, I really don't think its that hard to make uniforms.

So my point is, while the game has only been out for 12 days, and though they might have found out about the AFL push late, they've had adequate time to at least inform their loyal (read: EA monopoly on the NFL license) customer base about their plans.

The first AFL Legacy games (aside from the HoF game which already happend) are Monday Sept 14. So if they really want to back up their 'its in the game' declaration, I guess they still have a few weeks to keep us waiting.

I still enjoy the game, and think a lot of the new additions are enjoyable, but I was looking forward to the AFL unis, particularly the Broncos ones because I think they are insane.

I feel your pain. I know EA is aware of it, and all of the jerseys have been approved by the league. I just want them in before wk1.
