grass looks good, and I dont know if it's just me but the jerseys look like they get dirtier which is a good thing

1. Grass looks great.

2. Jerseys do too

3. Guess we'll never get mouthpieces back. *sad*

BTW, history has shown that some still shot photos that gets you all bubbly inside, should be comming down the pipe soon."[/

This was a quote leading into the 2009 release.

At Bama83, you're beating a dead horse trying to bring understanding in this area.
Others have tried before you, but it's easier to tweak visuals than address the limitations of the Game Engine.

As usual, visit the forums after release and see how many Visual folks are there saying how good the game is.

Folks should stop using the word "Authentic" with this game, it is so far away from that and because visuals does not make it Authentic Football.
You play Football, not look football!!!
It's Authentic because of what happens on the gamefield, not all the fluff that gives it the appearance.

Without gameplay, what do really have, a Tailgate!!!

Special Teams is the most important part of College Football, yet it is the most canned/scipted aspect of this game, which ultimately eliminates any gamer's impact/influence.

We got the same still photos in '09 and '10, but popped the game in and seen none of those things.
Had to get patch for the uni's to get dirty, eventhough the still shots before release showed dirty uni's.

I'll be impressed when this area is Redone, because after all, Special Teams is Authentic Football.

Nice still visual though.
Unfortanetly, the game is not played at such a close level.

6 weeks left!!!

I don't really play NCAA, but I am equally happy they finally have dreads in this game. It was a glaring omission and I'm glad it was addressed.

People have all sorts of (somewhat) justified issues with this game & Madden. For me, the presentation will tell the story. I can get by with the gameplay, but I need great presentation to complete the package.

Screenshot looks AMAZING. Hopefully the animations will catch up with the graphics this year.

The screen looks very slick and I'm glad people are getting the dreads and equipment they've been wanting, but the picture's insinuation at improved foot-planting, momentum, and/or Real-Time Physics is what has me really excited. If EA can pull those things off, we might finally have a game that looks great AND plays great.
