NCAA 12 and it's off the field issues

[Kaiser Wilhelm]

I hear what you are saying and I agree about how they look, but, there may be more difficulties to rendering the environment than we think.

The crowd issue is understandable, the same thing happens in MLB The Show, the exact same characters are rendered multiple times and do the exact same thing at the exact same time.

As for the sideline, I'd say create 5-7 characters that do different actions on the sideline. Creating a full sideline is pointless as well as a waste of manpower and processing for the game.

Now the last thing is the static environment of each stadium. This is most likely the easiest fix.

With that said, I'd rather see the graphics team create a freaking Chain Gang, or atleast put the yellow first down line as a toggle option in instant replay. I hate not being able to figure out where the first down mark is in a replay.

I'm in 100% agreeance with you. Graphics are only 1/3 of a game to me. 1/3 = Graphics, 2/3 = Gameplay and 3/3 = Security (For online gaming).

The game has 22 full detail models undergoing numerous animations at all times. Try to imagine playing a game at the big house with 100,000+ decently-detailed fan models. You'd be complaining that your console melted...

After playing this years version of NCAA football I wish my console had melted! But you make good points!!
