First NCAA Football 12 Screenshot, Dreads Are Back - What Else Can You Spot?

[coogrfan]

I have one question---did the Canes steal those uni's from FAMU? They're absolutely hideous.

As a fellow canes fan, you know damien berry was a senior and graduated, but travis benjamin would have been cool cause he dreads hang long out his helmet.

The screen looks nice....

but the football is STILL far too big. IMHO, it makes everything, even the animations, look a bit unnatural. Every year I hope they fix it and every year I'm disappointed.

i kinda thought so too, because of the feet placement. it doesn't look like its stationary foots on ground at an angle, #6 feet says momentum and change direction too me.

I remember Ian Cummings talking about this issue in the Madden 10 buildup (it's a problem with Madden as well). If I recall correctly, the problem they have is that every animation they recorded for Madden / NCAA next-gen up through the 08 versions is designed for a large ball size. Starting with M09 the size of the ball was reduced, but the issue presented was that going any further than what they've done would make all the animations look really weird and force them to re-record them all, which wasn't deemed to be worth the effort.

Looks like maybe player specific sock color. The miami guy on the far left has white socks and the ball carrier has black socks.
