yea field degradation is marginally fixed... sucks...

I wish they had toned down those post processing effects that are hiding it as it mutes the vibrancy of the picture too

You must only be seeing what you want to see. I played a regular season game at Jacksonville (with Buffalo, week 2). Sunny skies, no rain at all and STILL, I noticed the field getting all worn out towards the end of the 3rd and start of the 4th quarter.

I only played in the rain but the post processing effects are more prevalent in those so maybe non rain games have field degradation more evident?

I can tell a huge difference in the degradation in rain games dont know why you cant...

All this talk about a field turning brown and everyone overlooks the playclock sitting at :40 for 5 seconds after the play is over. Can't fix simple gameplay issues because everyone is whining about the freakin field turning brown? I hope everyone is happy with this.

Post patch, is the game now better than NCAA?

Random thing I noticed that was fixed is on the PS3 Collector's Edition. Under the CE extras, they've fixed Brett Favre's name. It used to be "Farve", which I thought was hilarious.

As for actual impressions from the one game I've played, I like the time before a snap and I did see some field degradation, but it still seemed hidden by the tint effects. Maybe it's easier to notice in heavy rain games. I was just playing rainy. I did see it clearer in the On-Demand window because there are no/less screen effects layered on that.

You can't be serious...

Anyways, the game plays awesome now and I can finally start my bears franchise!
