has equipment been altered to better fit the players? Particularly helmets, and taller players. Before, heads and helmets never scaled with the player's height, so you would start getting little peanut heads if the player was over 6'3-ish, and giant heads when they're shorter than 5'10". This year, at least the helmets appear to do a better job of realistically covering a player's head and corners of the face. Gronk looks much more proportional this year than last.

That's a tough one, in some pics I seen it looks fixed then if you at lynch's head it looks tiny. So idk

Yup looks pretty bad. I've always hated that, you think someone would've caught it by now. I mean it's in plain sight.

Yeah, still a problem, but I think it may be more dur to certain helmets. I don't know the model name, but it's a much slimmer lightweight helmet that a lot of guys have picked up over the years, I know Eli Manning has, which is why I first started noticing the issue. It's like these little helmets really squish tall players' heads, which isnt really noticeable if the guy is wearing your bulkier, standard helmets.

Still, I don't know why the players scale the way that they do. Old gen Maddens and 2k used to just have players proportionally get bigger or smaller depending on height, with all equipment scaling too. Everything else in Madden seems to scale, with the exception of heads and helmets, its so weird

It looks like Lynch had a generic face. Maybe the helmets are more fitted for the scanned players?

For any Giants fans, they will have the white pants for home games in 17

Kane how does tape spat look on those under armors. What happens to the top part of the cleat?

They did, it's just that they were an alternate. The Giants just announced that for this season they will wear white pants as their primary home pants. JP was just announcing it since this is an equipment thread.

Is it me or is the blue color fixed on the giants jersey? The blue they had in 16 was so dull, and that looks tremendously better. Maybe its the lighting. Kane can you comment not that??

Just sayin there should be a low sock height for hi top cleats so they show a little of the white part...

I hope the reds in this game are also fixed. The Giants red alternates look pink, whereas they looked fine in every other madden. A lot of the reds look off in the game, the Bucs as another example

I don't think it's the actual uniforms but the in game lighting. I obviously play a ton with the Bucs but the uniforms are just so dull/faded. Madden really lacks that "pop" you see in real life. Another example though not red is the Rams uniforms.

As a Jaguars fan I took some time with the new equipment list to make an accurate attempt at getting the equipment right. so I linked a spreadsheet I made with accurate equipment from Madden 17 that applies to the past season for Jaguars players. Gloves will be left to whether the team is wearing black or white, and was wondering if anyone else felt this was some inaccurate display of equipment vastly for teams. Hopes it helps anyone who needs it.
