Madden 09 Uniform Blog
by 
Something that has been taken note of over the past few days is the immediate response to community suggestions. Things like toning down the camera flashes, adding a kick return play with a single returner back, making the weather affect play more, and turning off the passing icons when a QB drops back too far all appear as though they may be acted upon for Madden 09 despite the time constraints.
One topic that has been discussed not only lately, but over the past few years has been uniform inaccuracies. This year they made it a point to improve in that area, bypassing the official style guides supplied by the NFL and going off of video and pictures of what the teams wore last year. When screenshots started coming out fans still noticed some things were off. The Cowboys helmet star was too big, the Chiefs were missing their AFL patch and the numbers were on jersey shoulders not the sleeves, the Steelers had single digit numbers off to the side of the stripe on their helmet instead of on the stripe, and the Ravens and 49ers needed black shoes. That was just the first batch of feedback EA received.
Matt Read, a designer for Madden, has posted up a blog detailing some of the fixes that were made based on community feedback. Click here to check out the blog and corresponding screenshots displaying the corrected uniforms.

This is one of the disappointments about Madden 09. A lot of positive strides are being made this year, but this really shouldn’t be an issue anymore.
People are getting excited about the accuracy of the uniforms, yet the alternate ones don’t carry over to online. It’s a shame. They would add more variation to online play. It would be fun to mix it up from time to time.

I hope they fix the logo on the seahawks helmet, and not just the classic one. The logo on the helmet that goes with the home and away jerseys doesn’t wrap all the way around. And it should. Neon green shoes and gloves for the Hawks’ would be awesome. They have included the Vikings classic jersey just like the Niners, right ???

Pasta, will the PANTHERS alternate uniforms be fixed this year??? In Madden ‘08 the game had them wearing silver on silver socks (clearly a mistake).. it’s such an obvious mistake I couldn’t imagine EA missing it again, but please put my mind at ease and tell me the socks have been fixed to the correct BLACK socks???
Thanks!!

Yeah the uniform thing needs to be fixed. Its getting ridiculous Im a Bengals fan and they finally included our alternate orange jersey, and the all black uniform. But they still left out our all white uni. Then I go and look at the other teams and low and behold the Titans have like 8 different uniforms combos? WTF? Do the guys at Madden have something against certain teams or what? It wouldn’t be that hard to figure out all the different uniform combos. Why don’t they just call each team in person and ask them what all they wear? I don’t know it doesn’t seam that complicated to me.
