NCAA Basketball has good looking fans. I think all the baseball games have good looking fans. Not sure about Madden. The hockey games have good looking fans. So do the NBA games.

perhaps because it is a closed in environment with about 19k fans in it, or maybe because there are 10-12 rendered players at any one time in basketball/hockey in comparison to 22 for football?

edit: oh, and lighting, shadowing, weather effects, etc that do not take place in an indoor arena.

I'm not knocking EA for the fans or trying to say anything here. I realize there are more players to render and they have used that excuse extensively. I was just pointing out how bad the fans look. Stadium looks great.

I can tell you the mlb 2k doesn't have good looking fans. The fans in the outfield and upper deck are 2D.

When I looked at NBA 2k's fans at the tops of the arenas, I think they are just 2D. I figured that might factor into why their fans look so good.

The show has excellent fans.

Basketball games have great looking fans for the most part and so does every other sports game just about. NHL does, and it renders 22 players at a time also. Fifa also has good looking fans and it displays 11 vs 11 in stadiums twice the size of some NFL stadiums. That game has 3D grass too.

MLB 2k10 is the only sports game outside of football games that has bad looking fans.

Looks really good, especially the skyline. I don't think the Atlanta skyline was that detailed for Georgia Tech last season.

In terms of fans, The Show has has the best looking graphics, although I love the animations you see in NBA 2K along the baseline the most. On a large scale, the fans in the stands aren't going to be that detailed. That's what depth of field is all about. I would like to see more detail out of the fans, media and players on the sideline though. Photographers in the endzone, boosters cheering, coaches interacting with players etc. But I digress, the stadium looks tremendous.
