Re: Madden NFL 13 Screenshot - Ronnie Lott

^ I've seen that facemask and I do know that these are supposed to be the players as rookies, but the Madden team took a populist route and made certain concessions to design the legends as people remembered them for the bulk of their career. That's why Reggie White has #92 instead of the #91 that he wore his first year in Philly, and that's why Mike Young dropped this on twitter a few months ago before the Mean Joe photo:

Ok @steelers fans. What # do you want to see on Mean Joe Greene in ‪#connectedcareers‬? His actual rookie #72 or the iconic #75?

Oh ok, thank you for clearing that up. Is there any word on if he is a corner or Safety to start?

And just to be clear, I would hope they use the equipment/# that they are most recognized in. I was just pointing out that this was his first facemask in the NFL. Much like his USC facemask. And that may be why they dont have the correct facemask in that snapshot. Possibly because they don't have that facemask in the game. So they just used a generic DB type facemask.

This is a really excellent question that I don't have the slightest idea about. He was All-Pro at both, but just looking at the way pro football reference has him broken down, I'd guess that he'd be a safety since that's where he spent his prime years. His first four seasons he was listed as a corner; his 5th they have him listed FS/LCB; and the final 9 he was a safety. Just looking at that I can see them making the concession to play him where he spent the bulk of his career.

I really don't understand why it matters how accurate this facemask is, you can barely notice it while your playing. You might catch a glimpse in a cut screen.

Last year, they made a point of thumping their chests for getting green dots on the helmets, even acknowledging that most people wouldn't notice it, but saying they took the time to do it anyway because that's the standard that they want to hold themselves to -- 100% authenticity was what they said in the blogs. That was the goal. So, if 100% authenticity is what they are shooting for then why wouldn't an inaccurate facemask on one of the greatest players of all-time matter?

I'm surprised with all the talk about how the facemask is wrong, nobody has mentioned how the sleeve stripes are wrong.
