Equipment

@SaveFarris_PSN and you tried to tell me I contracted myself…smh.
First you say the ball is in Nike’s court and their court alone, then you say why can’t SDS not just copy over from previous games (ball not in Nike’s court).
You say why does equipment have to be designed from scratch, I clearly explain I’m talking about new equipment (can’t just be copied over) and you just go right back to permission even though you just said why does equipment have to be remodeled every year.
You’re acting like the only thing that has to happen is Nike give the rights to use their equipment, just not accurate. Someone has to actually design and program the equipment into the game, you’re missing that part in your argument.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN Am I failing miserably? This guy said why can’t they just copy over from previous games when this whole post centered around updated equipment smh. He’s not getting it.

Not really failing miserably but lacking the right wording rather. -

Because you did.

Correct. In order to use new equipment, it must be licensed by Nike. The OLD equipment already exists in previous versions and has already been licensed. Therefore (unless there's an established time limit on the license), the old equipment can be carried over.
You say why does equipment have to be designed from scratch, I clearly explain I’m talking about new equipment (can’t just be copied over) and you just go right back to permission even though you just said why does equipment have to be remodeled every year.
Yes, new equipment means new permissions must be obtained. Old equipment means you can use the old permissions.

SDS isn't going to design and program the equipment UNTIL they first get permissions. Otherwise, it's a fool's errand.

@SaveFarris_PSN this whole post is about new equipment. No one cares about the old equipment.
Why do you know for a fact SDS doesn’t have permission to use the new equipment. I don’t think that’s a fair assumption.

I do not work for SDS, so I do not have first hand knowledge. However, I can speculate given the relevant data we do have and applying Occam's Razor.
I would love for them to jump in to clarify the issue one way or the other, but given it involves legal wrangling, I doubt anyone is authorized to make proclamations.
