rmackman Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 They should hire each of us to specialize in making sure all of the uniforms in their sports video games come out the right way. They've been adding throwbacks, but sometimes they're not perfect (which is to be expected) but if they hired us in exchange for some free games or a bit of cash, our board alone could do their games a world of good. Just a random thought. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I hope EA Sports would launch a version of MVP Baseball with Old Leagues... like the era before expansion. And all the rosters with the best ever players of each franchise.Same thing with NHL, NBA and Madden.

buffalofan2106 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 the old rosters will never be done.... it is WAY too complex to acquire the rights to all those people's names. That is why the "all-time" teams and the "old" teams in Madden and such just have their numbers and position, (RB #32). They can't just use people's names, they have to get permission from everyone and many of them will want to be paid. They get the current players because they have a contract with the Players Union... even still, some players don't give their permission to use their name, for example Lavar Arrington, unless they get paid extra. And they won't pay, so Arrington is "LB #56" in Madden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheateater Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 MVP Baseball 2004 had those Cooperstown legends, but it is missing a helluva lot of the real baseball legends. I can't recall who exactly is missing (Hank Aaron is one) since I haven't played the game since October, but they don't have a great number of players on there. It's all because they couldn't get the permission for some of these guys, as buffalofan said.

CC97 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 You'll also notice the MVP Baseball games don't have the current MLBers who were replacement players in 1995 (Kerry Lightenberg among a few others) as well as Barry Bonds who I don't think is actually in the union. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Yeah, just bought NCAA March Madness 2005 last night, and I noticed that they used the colors from the Best Brands of the World LMU logo as opposed to the real one... so, it looks like light blue and fuschia as opposed to navy and crimson... yet they got the unis and court more or less ok.

MJWalker45 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 One way around guys without names, i.e. #56, is to buy a memory card that uses your online connection. It saved me sending my memory card off. I just downloaded the updated rosters. There should be rosters done for the Madden teams as well as MLB and classic NCAA squads.

EagleFan344 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 maybe its just me but my Madden has Arrington The last 2004 update had him, and Madden 05' has him now. I really think I could do a better job with the unis than they do. It really pisses me off when the eagles jerseys still are the old ones. They just updated the Rams jerseys this yr (and the ones with navy pants are still screwed up). And the Eagles 80's throwback looks horrible. Along with many other errors.

Joshawaggie Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Arrington joined the NFLPA this past year, so his name can be marketed now. He didnt before cuz he always told his dad that he didnt wanna sell out, something along those lines. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd pay even $10 more for just the CFL field measurements, stadiums, and team names alone.
