The Cut Socks Conundrum
I’ve got to get something off my chest—something that’s been grinding my gears for years now. How is it possible that EA developers haven't added the cut socks uniform style to EA FC? Nearly every professional player has been rocking this look for the past 15 years, and yet, it’s still nowhere to be seen in the game.
They've even added the Bellingham holes in the back of the socks. A uniform style for a single player.
It’s just baffling that a game which prides itself on authenticity can overlook such a fundamental aspect of player uniforms. Whether it's for comfort, performance, or simply style, the cut socks trend has become a staple in football. Seeing our in-game avatars stuck in outdated, full-length socks is a constant reminder of the gap between real-life football and the virtual pitch.
For those who might not know, cut socks are when players wear their official socks with the foot part cut off, replacing it with their preferred brand of socks underneath. It’s not a minor detail; it’s an integral part of player gear and one that EA Sports seems to be blissfully ignoring.
Come on, EA—if you can give us hyper-realistic faces and countless customization options for celebrations, surely you can update the kit to include cut socks. It’s these little details that elevate a game from good to legendary.
This may sound trivial and stupid but I've stopped buying the game for this very reason.
Who's with me on this?
