    The COWBOYS home pants are still wrong!

    I don’t get why they can’t get the Cowboys home pants right. In the videos I’ve seen the pants in the game look exactly the same as they have since Dallas changed the pants back in 2020. They’re too dark in the game. The actual pants are light blue.

    The only reason I’m posting is because I’m hoping there is some one that works for the company that can get whoever is responsible for equipment authenticity to fix it. But I doubt anything will change.

    I know for the longest time in MLB The Show, the devs were only able to use what was in their style guide for uniforms, which I think changed in the last few years. I don't know if it would be the same for the Madden team or not. I know it's gotta be frustrating when your teams colors aren't right.

        Maybe Kane would care, since he's a Cowboy fan. Go find Equipment_Guru on twitter aka Ratings AdjustinSmith.

          The first kind is wrong. The second is superfluous.

            We updated the color a few years ago and still have it correct with the more blue than green tint

              Cheers to @Kane699 as he got in so many of the Cowboys retro unis in recent years that had been omitted previously; especially the the 70's ones that had been so predominant and identifiable for America's Team. Now, how about adding those three-stripe white/navy jerseys with the silver pants from the 60's and the two-star helmet?

                I know they were updated. The issue to me is that they’re too dark. They should be closer to the pants in the game for the home 1976 uniform. I don’t know how to post pics, but if you fire up the game and compare it to a still image from any game since 2020 you’ll see what I’m talking about.

                  Might be more of a lighting thing.

                    That's what I'm thinking. Madden's lighting has always been a bit on the dark side.

                      I was going to say you're not correct, but then my next game I took the Cowboys and noticed it. I guess I'm not much of a Cowboys fan to not have noticed that they do indeed look much, much, darker blue than they should look.

                      I agree with others that it's the lighting, but at default it is still too dark blue IMO.

                        It’s not a lighting issue. It doesn’t matter what time of day you play a game they’re still too dark. The best work around that makes the uniform look accurate is the 1976 pants. If they slapped the NFL & Nike logo on those pants or lightened the current home pants to that color it would look better.

                          That could still be a lighting issue. We don't mean "time of day of the game" by "lighting issue." We mean "Madden doesn't reflect light off the pants correctly" by "lighting issue." That's a separate issue from color.

                            Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking, like in the stand alone example they look maybe ok but actually going into the game, most of the time they are too blue. And although occasionally the real Cowboys pants look a bit bluer, the majority of the time they look so light blue they are almost greyish.

                            So I am reminded of the gentlemen in the Matrix who preferred to go back to eating steak and not knowing, lol, cuz ignorance was bliss, now that I've seen it you cannot unsee it, etc, etc, etc

                              I don’t know if it’s the lighting issue or not, but the pants aren’t even close to reality and it won’t be fixed. I’ll just roll with the 1976 pants, even though I shouldn’t. I also think it’s interesting that they fixed the 49ers helmets and pants a few years ago, but won’t even acknowledge that the Cowboys home pants are laughingly inaccurate.
