Does madden 12 have the ankle brace that goes inside a player's shoe, and not just the bulky tape?

No 3/4 sleeves? Geez Madden just keeps finding ways to disappoint.

You'd think by now that they'd put in mouthpieces. PS2 days had em & just a couple years ago, we finally got eyeblack back into the game. Yea, sure mouthpieces don't take away from the game, but they'd be nice to have in. Perhaps next year, just like they say every year.

It might sound absurd to say, but the dearth of equipment options in comparison to NCAA last year was the last straw in making up my mind to not play Madden at all.

There were tons of other factors that went into before it came to that though.

I find things like equipment and animations have a big impact on how much I enjoy a game. Even good gameplay can't look realistic if those are off. Biggest issue is with NCAA qb throwing animations. That almost ruins the game for me.

Im with you man. Details like that are extremely important at keeping you immersed in the game

The biggest equipment issue in this game(besides the lack thereof) is the shoulder pad bug. Some players shoulder pads are way too high in game. In edit player they look fine, but in game they look ridiculous.
