yeah, it's been in since '09 I think(could have been '08 though). it's set by individual player though, not a global team setting. so you would have to edit every single player if you wanted everyone to wear a certain sock length.

The running on the UT player looks like what you'd get with a fullback powering ahead.

So I take it that trucking animations are actually trucking animations?

If so, very nice EA

The cleats really add to the look of the game. Graphics look really nice this year. If I knew the animations looked as good as these screens I'd be excited. Hopefully the presentation is better, but this is EA we're talking about.

not to me. It's not a huge difference, but there wasn't any need for a big graphic change, IMO.

first thing I noticed in the comparison is the improved shadowing. the lighting of the colors was the second thing I noticed. then I noticed the equipment stuff. I do like the colored cleats though. better than the default gray or black cleats.

Wow! very impressive. Can't wait to see more pics and vids.

I agree with SageInfinite that the change in cleats really add to the look of the game. I'm also digging the elbow brace on OSU #97. I can't say that I'm excited by looking at these screens nor discouraged. Graphics were never really the big deal to me with NCAA 10, but the gameplay. I will withhold judgement until we get closer to release and EA hopefully provides us with info and some vids on changes to gameplay.

I really like the new screens especially when compared to the old. Less shine on the players, The helmets look a lot less dull as do the pants. Hopefully like sage said their are some good animations along with this.

Is Ohio State the only team in the game with a multi-colored chinstrap?

screens look great, can't wait to hear more as the time comes. This game actually looks like a different game. I see a big difference in the way the players look and its not just the equipment, their bodies in general look much more realistic.
