I think NCAA 10 is the best looking football games available, UNTIL THE PLAYERS START MOVING. and thats what they need to fix!!


I want as much customization and detail as i can get, hair included, BUT i don't want any of that until my gameplay is right.

blackscorpion - you must not have seen madden 10 yet then, beacuse madden 10 blows ncaa out of the water in looks.

but i do agree with what you say, the players moving around look terrible.

i completely disagree with the last statement. they need to be adding customization details and working on gameplay all at once. but as someone said, EA seems incapable of doing that.

I'm not clear on what you mean by this. What exactly is it about Madden 10 that makes you say it is that much better looking than NCAA 10?

Player models?
Color palette?
Lighting?
Field textures and/or stadiums?
Cut scenes?
User interface?

Colors, more unique player models, better field textures, lighting, better detail in uniforms for starters

I think Madden 10 is a better looking game as well.

In regards to hair, I think it's just something that's just flat out not important to them, plain and simple. If it were, it'd be in there. Considering we're talking generic players, there's just no need for it to make the game viable. It's not like Madden 10 where they are trying to duplicate real life players, so something like hair takes on more importance. I don't really get on their case for not including it in the game, you make decisions with the bottom line in mind, and if they feel the resources used to create that hair are more than the money earned for doing it, they probably won't do it. It's not like they aren't doing anything at all to customize, considering the gear added. Hair's just not one of those things they decided is necessary.

Plus it seems like I've heard multiple times that hair is really not easy to execute on these systems. Don't know why, but this isn't the first time I've heard that idea.
