Yea, I made a similar post about this a little while back. Just doesn't ever seem to get much traction because it's not a top priority for consumers ( which I get ) or the game devs. As a hybrid Franchise / DD player it has gotten frustrating over the years to see the same errors with this stuff when games like NBA 2K excel at it.
In my post I made mention of some of the same things as you as well as the actual image of the piece of the equipment you select, not even being what gets put on the player. For example, the Jordan and Nike elbow protector images show the full elbow protector option but then when equipped, it's the single strap, small elbow protector. While Evo-Shield has all of the options available. At least have the image reflect what will actually be in the game.
