The last few years they were in the middle of a lawsuit from a tattoo artist. I wouldn't think they want to risk the NFLPA, the NFL and EA in obtaining waivers until the outcome of the trial. Maybe with the outcome of the trail opened doors for EA that wasn't opened before?

The NBA was sued 6 years ago because Rasheed Wallace turned up in a commercial with a tattoo from an artist that pursued litigation. There has been other litigation with tattoo artist besides the gaming industry, ie The Hangover 2. Maybe EA was trying to be cautious since they been sued and in court over the last several years for millions and millions of dollars.

Seems to me they taking the cautious route, and as Sage has said, probably a bit lazy too. 320 tattoos and the art department is busy with those.(10 per team?)
