In Madden 17, EA have done the biggest upgrade when it comes to equipment gears. They have done a wonderful job which Madden Gamers love it. However, this still need improvement. There are errors and mistakes that EA need to fix. There are a lot of equipment gears that they missed and should add these gears on Madden 18.
Arm Sleeves
As I discuss arm sleeves and suggestions in article "Madden 18 Wishlist: Arm Sleeve ( The Real one)", EA needs to improve in this project. Arm Sleeve development was awful in madden 17.
Auto Team Gear
As I discuss Auto Team Color Gear in article "Madden 18 Wishlist: Auto Team Color Gear", one of EA goals for Madden Franchise is to make their animation more realistic which making NFL players look just like themselves during game day. Team Auto Gear project can give a huge boast in Madden Animation.
Improve:¾ Sleeve
¾ sleeves are getting popular in the NFL. ¾ sleeves were additionally added in NCAA Football 2014. ¾ Sleeves are sleeves that only cover half biceps. An under armor T-Shirt is a great example. A few NFL players are actually wearing ¾ sleeves during game day.
During this franchise, EA Sports have added ¾ sleeves and succeed. Here is an example of a ¾ sleeves.
Mouthpiece
Mouthpiece is getting popular in the NFL. Players are wearing unique mouthpiece such as this example.
Turf Tape
Players are actually wearing turf tape during game day due to conditioning of football fields.
Tertiary Colors
There are four teams that have tertiary colors which are Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Titans, and San Diego Chargers. Each of these team players has five different color gears, not four.
Conclusion
EA needs to update Madden Gears every franchise instead of once every four years. They seriously have to do research in order to make their animation look realistic. As I discuss in these three articles, EA should have been add these equipment gears in Madden 16 and Madden 17. They have to do a better job when it comes to animation. Do your research.
