Hints?

We were focused on really fixing up our processes and pipelines to make sure that it was extremely easy to add any kind of prop (i.e. a jet), animation (i.e. a player with his hand over his heart), character (i.e.a coach), and visual effect (i.e. smoke) into the game, without requiring the work of an engineer.

First off I wanted to say "great blogs!"

Now, I don't know if this has been talked about or not, but I do not want to see clones of players doing the exact same thing in the pre-game anthem. In the NFL many players do different things during the anthem. Some hold their hands over their hearts, some stand with hands clasped in front, others in back, some hold onto their jerseys like in the attached photo of Junior Seau.

I found the video of the Giants vs. Pats Superbowl and took some screens from it. You see the same thing by all teams in other videos, but many times the camera men will only glare at the players face in a close up. You see in the video that Manning and Streyhan don't cross their hearts or anything by their stance, but you only really get a "bust" shot of them.

I like what you have done Ian, but if you could have those in charge mock up a little bit of viriety poses and have maybe the compuyter do a random choice of what the players do, with having hands over hearts be a high percentage option?

I just know this will help keep the game from looking robotic and scripted [I know it is computer program, but you know that you want to give the illusion of reality, and anything that looks robotic kills immersion.]

Sweet news!

Good work

Who cares..keep it special..i believe that to be the orginal purpose. If i see the flyover at 75% of my franchise games I will not watch it after the first few times.
