This will be the key new feature in Madden 26.

What about neck injuries with all this extra weight on top of the head? Modern helmets are already bulkier and bulkier

[@M23jnba]

I’m pretty sure the neck gets stronger. Plus those guys take hits from full speed. The extra helmet pounds won’t be much factor

[@Iquit6x]

Fam.. this finna cause neck injuries. They're going to hit even harder bkuz they're protected. Causing them to try to go head up with the GAURDING CAP.

Sadly, it does not keep the brain from slamming into the inside of the skull, which is how concussions happen. It protects the skull, not the brain. As long as the brain is floating around inside the skull, there is very little to be done to the outside of the skull to protect the brain.

I think it's crazy how nobody really cares about CTE. Like NFL, MMA and Boxers are at high risk of literally going crazy in their late 40s and 50s. I don't want the fame and money bad enough to risk losing my mind later in life.

Deceleration over even a centimetre makes a big difference. It's the sudden stops that do the damage.

Best way to combat CTE is removing helmets so they don’t use their head as a weapon

[@viewsthatfade]

Pointless to say having less concussions and the NFL isn't requiring players to wear them during the actual game anyway. There's probably no way to totally protect the brain from impacting various sides of the skull.

@@Bigman.I.S. Considering rugby causes more concussions than American football, I would argue no

[@Bigman.I.S.]

@@FranciscoPerez-cr4os helmets don’t protect the brain from rocking around in the skull (which causes concussions) and ima need a source that rugby causes more concussions

[@dyllanmayes9694]

I love the guardian caps but the only complaints people have is there too heavy and too hot. Is there no way to make them more breathable and light weight. Or is this the final ever design

[@streetcar6080]

I would think so, right now the design is all layer are the basically the same thickness. They certainly can raise reduce the thickness on certain area.

[@JamieReid-zm4gw]

This is wack and makes me not want to watch football.

Its all WWE anyways
