Where did the neck pads go?

[fcboiler87]

I haven't seen this anywhere else but I was editing equipment and noticed the only available neck pad is the "covered" pad, of which almost NO ONE wears. What happened to all the rest??? Seems kinda ridiculous to have them gone. I loved using them for my linebackers to make them look big.

Spotted that too, looks kinda funky without the other options that so many players use.

yeah, why is this feature out of the game? who seriously wears a covered neck pad?

I wonder if we could get this patched in. Please, EA. Why do you take out simple little things that are good?? Tell me it was an error and bring them back. Thank you.

My guess, when I first noticed it....was it did not work with the dreads !

But if this is the case, they should have made the option still there for those not wearing dreads !

Great thought. You are probably right. Classic though... put something in, take something out... two years later... hey it's a new feature!!

Surely to goodness you can have it programmed to have dreads AND a neck pad. I am sure there are players IRL like that.

Just found out about this. What a bummer.

The covered neck pad looks AWFUL.
