Conversation with Michael Young mostly about cleats but mentions equipment. Maybe this will give you some peace of mind...
Re: Cleats
I know how important shoes are to certain people, I was on NBA Street for 7 years
Like I said this is on our radar, but is a huge challenge for this year.

| That's great to hear the team is at least giving it a shot. Overall I'm really happy you guys were able to add the other little aesthetic stuff that makes the game feel real - it looks great so far. I also never thought I'd see the day I would be in contact with a developer of the game I've played since 2001. Your team (along with the NCAA guys) have done an outstanding job including us in the development of the game.
Back to the cleats though..
I hope you do find the time to mess with the footwear, but if not there is always next year. If it comes down to something like updating franchise or cleats, I'd rather see time go to the bigger aspect of the game. It wont be a deal breaker at all of course..it'd just be nice see some love go to shoes for once.
Thanks for the reply, and keep up all the good work.

| Honestly this is something we are looking at. We have added lots of stuff to the game and are trying to find the memory to stuff a few more things in. We want them too. Adding refs and lots of the other new equipment took lot's of optimization, so all I can say is we are still working on it.

| Hey Michael, first of all great blog today! I really enjoy photography, and when its dealing with Madden---wow sick.
What's up..My name is Mark and I'm basically just wondering if the team plans to do something with the cleats in the game?? (I'm not sure if this is your area).
I realize there is some sort of an agreement with Reebok, but can't you guys add at least some different colors/styles if you must keep the Reebok brand?
There are several people who have been asking about this, but absolutely no one will answer. Many of us of have posted some pictures of cleats (even Reebok brand) for reference...
Can you shed some light on the cleat situation for me and the rest of the equipment nuts in the community? 
Thanks for your time man.
