Is this NCAA or Barbie?

Yea I get tired of people complaining too. If I want my favorite team to be corrected I do this little thing called, do it myself. I certainly don't grip. We all know more about out favorite team than someone else will. Also players sometimes change things mid season. I'm just glad someone else is doing the hard work

I was coming in to confirm this.

I thought it was pretty widely known that most colleges have all their offensive lineman wear knee braces.

People don't seem to understand how many shots to the knee offensive lineman take (as well as defensive lineman). If an offensive lineman injuries one knee, most schools get them one for each knee so that players on the opposing team get confused and find it harder to target the injury unless it was noted extensively during the preparations up to the game.

Yeah and I believe the NFL requires all offensive lineman to wear braces, I remember reading that somewhere. Plus I think OL in the NCAA are required to wear gray gloves if they choose to wear them, but that might have changed.

Clearly you missed the point of the OP.

Yeah if you do not make the rosters you should not whine about how your team's uniforms work. You can fix them yourself if you really want too.

Plus, I never notice that much what my team's players uniform accessories look like on Saturdays. I'm too busy watching the game and focusing on the important stuff, like winning and enjoying watching the game to notice trivial stuff. It is not Barbie, OP is spot on.

if you have EVER changed someones appearance in game or switched facemasks or even flipped to a different uniform from the default then YOU MY FRIEND are driving the BARBIE FERARRI. theres nothing wrong with wanting realness like whay comes in a madden roster correct equipment etc

This might matter if linemen ever got hurt In this game

I agree 100% with OP.

If guys stopped whining to ea that their players didnt have the right color jock strap on, we might get a game that PLAYED correctly. Maybe we should ask them to just get the unis 100% accurate and have the players walk down the field like a fashion show runway. I bet 50% of the ppl on here would LOVE it. Who needs the game to play correctly, long as my guy has the right color socks.... Smh
