Nah brah you got it all wrong. I was just happy that they finally posted something. I noticed the dreads and edited my post. Im guessing that dreads will not be able to be used online, because EA can't put dreads on specific players. Right?

Glad you posted this. Hopefully we can get the accurate socks AND shoes for the procombats. You know? Like in the real pic, UM has on the green socks and the cleats are team specific with their logo. I'm a big "uniforms", so I love all of the little details with the appearances.

Anyway, I'm digging the new lighting, looks more realistic for sure, the grass is a nice touch and I love that they've gotten around to getting new helmets and facemasks in. Hopefully they've added more than just one helmet this year, like how they only added the Revo speed last year, and immediately showed it off in the first photo. One thing that bugs me is how the untucked sleeves still look really weird.

Who side its one or the other? It has been said thousands of times there is a gameplay department and a graphic department. If we push for dreads and facemasks wont change whether or not game play is improved.

I know what you're saying, his legs look like they are in a complicated move or something, I've never seen a player cross his legs like that in any previous animations.

On Facebook one of the devs wrote this when someone posted a similar concern:

"we'll have plenty of gameplay related items to cover leading up to launch stay tuned. -JD"

I don't know why the assumption is made that since they added dreads they neglected gameplay. There are months for them to drip all that information to us. Just let us be happy that we got dreads in the game because it helps with authenticity

is it just me or the ball is still bigger than it's supposed to be?

game looks great already....i'd rather they spend more time on actual gameplay improvements as opposed to cosmetic upgrades.

these year seems to be more about just making the game look better....i enjoy NCAA 11 it's my favorite game the best in a years by EA. But having said that if they took the gameplay to another level i coudl care less about the added eye candy on the field
