I just don't understand how people get that worked up over it. It's like "woohoo, blue eyes were added into the game!!!!! ROXXORS!"... I mean, do those blue eyes somehow change the game?

Really who cares if they wear the proper uniforms or wear face mask. Who cares if every player is the same shade or the same jersey number? As long as game play is great right?

To me, the ball carrier's position looks like part of a new animation. maybe not?

not gonna front if the hair is free flowin i'm gonna have some hairy teams. not just dreads, but white guys and guys from the pacific islands too. add some depth and realism to teams. Its just going to make the roster naming process longer though.

yea it does but maybe that something that can be fixed

Graphics and Visuals are important, but the fact that people put accessories like dreadlocks over gameplay, in terms of importance, does boggle the mind. Who cares how good a game looks if it plays terrible?

Anyway, I'm digging the new lighting, looks more realistic for sure, the grass is a nice touch and I love that they've gotten around to getting new helmets and facemasks in. Hopefully they've added more than just one helmet this year, like how they only added the Revo speed last year, and immediately showed it off in the first photo.

One thing that bugs me is how the untucked sleeves still look really weird.

edit* Actually just noticed that there are two new helmets this time, the schut Ion and the air.
