Couple people have asked on Twitter havnt seen any devs reply though

I'm not at EA PLAY today (only yesterday) and I also didn't specifically look for this. Unless Mr Price says otherwise I'd assume it works the same as last year.

My created coach had a head set, yes.

How did his clothes look? I know that is a little thing but the clothes that the coaches wore in 16 just didn't look as good as the real NFL coaches.

Created coaches also have more and more varied clothing options. In addition, the portraits for generated rookies (generally, not sure if 100%) match the chosen head, and they all have white collars now (one of my biggest pet peeves with the past few Madden games, and no I'm not kidding when I say that).

Thank god. That's great to hear. + full player editing in CFM. NICE.

Haven't they always all had white collars?

The generated rookie portraits as they exist in Madden 16 had not changed since they were introduced in (I think?) Madden 12. Since M12 the portraits have had black collars and it's bugged the hell out of me in recent games as they've switched the real NFL players over to white collars, lol.

I thought they looked good and more importantly fit in with the players well. If there was lower texture quality, it didn't stand out to me. With the new coach presentation stuff in Franchise in particular I wouldn't be surprised if all coach clothes assets got a face lift across the board.

However, to be honest that's not something I paid a great deal of attention to.
