Is it just me or it looks like the helmet on #6 in the pic is sitting high up on the face...so the facemask isnt down so low like in previous years...

Who knows...maybe this bodes well for bowl patches, broadcast cameras also. Remember the blog late last year about "looking forward"?

It looks good. Denard Robinson will look like himself . I need to see it in motion to see what they've done with the animations

Yeah, for those who have gameplay complaints - they have months to discuss those things.

Looks like they put some real work into the details of the game visually and gave the fans some of the things they wanted, and for that, I am excited

I didn't tinker much w/ equipment last year but are there more glove variations?

I hope that this will transition over to Teambuilder to add dreads, team color sock and shoes to our created teams.

nice shot. I hope they get away from the cardboard cutout fans and players on the sidelines. lol

Say it over and over, does not make the statement any less off-base and erroneous and doesn't change how projects are managed.

Projects aren't managed on a staff basis but on a resource basis. The resources in this case is cash and time.

Spending $x in graphics is $y-$x they can spend on gameplay.

So yes, each graphical tweak reduces what they have available for gameplay being improved.
