sc49erfan15 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Super Play Action Football for the SNESUgh. I tried my best to forget about that game. I don't think completed passes were possible. It's bad when the only good memories from a game are the funny headlines from the newspapers."Cheerleader maimed in freak punting accident" was my favorite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 EA Sports NHL 2002 had blue helmets with the Leafs' white third jerseys. Not only was it inaccurate, but being a white jersey, that's kinda the NHL rule.There was a recent NHL game in which the Capitals white jerseys were paired with blue helmets. I'm guessing it was the first year of the current unis, but I'm not positive. I just remember it bothering me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 The two that first came into mind:Bears orange pants in Madden 13:Patriots striping in Madden 15 (silver instead of red): The piping was fixed in a patch last year. And the helmet logo was moved higher up the shell (it was way too low in these screenshots). But pretty embarrassing nonetheless. Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear.

Discrim Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I know one thing, I was pretty good at Super Play Action. As long as I'm thinking about it, IIRC in a number of the early Madden games, the Bills wore blue pants with their white jerseys despite having dumped them in the mid 80s. IIRC some other road unis used nonexistent pants at the time as well (Eagles in green pants, maybe blue pants for the Giants, I definitely remember the 1980 Falcons being given red pants). The PSX version of Tecmo Super Bowl inexplicably had the Packers wearing green helmets at home (but the normal gold away). In NFL 2K5, the numbers on the Jaguars' whites had a black/gold/black outline, instead of gold/black. Last one I can think of at the moment, in the last few versions of the PS2 Maddens, the Steelers' white jersey stripes lacked any black, and the Patriots' silver and Saints' gold pants lacked their stripes for no apparent reason.

Red Wolf Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 A bit obscure, but in NCAA March Madness 2004, UALR's basketball team wore blue and white. This despite the school colors being maroon and silver, and the game even featuring the accurate midcourt logo at the time (which had no blue whatsoever).

SilverBullet1929 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Oh man MLB The Show, such an amazing game with so many uniform gripes to complain about. I get "some" things might be influenced by the style guides but I've never understood how so many times The Show has uniforms and uniform elements that never once existed in reality but somehow got into the games.

There's also the inability to select uniforms in Road to the Show. And when you change a team's hats --- I like to have the Nats wear red on the road --- the helmets don't reflect that. I'm sure there's plenty more I've missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swilson160 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 NBA Courtside 98 for N64 reversed the colors on the numbers for the Lakers' road jersey. Drove me batty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOldRoman Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 NCAA Football from 2002 or so until 2005 messed up Illinois' colors. The school had an issue of using multiple shades of orange and blue. One combo which showed up frequently on merchandise was a tangerine orange and a faded navy (close to the shade the Braves use in branding but don't wear on the field). Despite various shades showing up in branding, Illinois had consistently used a dark navy and a bright orange for all athletic teams. For reference, here is the incorrect color scheme which didn't stop showing up on merchandise until two years ago:For some reason, EA accurately created Illinois' uniforms with the correct striping and everything. But then they changed the colors to match the colors from the logos, which the university hadn't bothered to correct. It was maddening because clearly somebody looked at the actual uniforms to create them, but decided to change the colors anyway. It would be like if a videogame changed the Lakers jerseys to use the pastel purple from their court. For some reason, when Illinois changed its uniforms to wrap-around Nike crap in 2006, EA started using the correct colors on the uniforms.

SilverBullet1929 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 In MLB The Show the Marlins throwback uniforms (1993-97) have a teal batting helmet with a black brim. The Marlins never wore a two toned batting helmet at any point in their existence. I guess its based off their 1993-95 road cap but whatever it is, its wrong.
