Hundreds of dollars? its only $60 once a year lol

That's what I don't understand, how are people making color and lighting judgements from a stream when the video quality is degraded.
I don't see how anyone can make a accurate review of colors from a stream on twitch. Maybe if it was a ign or gamespot stream where the quality of the video is HD.
But twitch streams make graphics of any game look grainy.

If $60 a year is breaking someone, they probably shouldn't own a PS4 or Xbox One lol.

Anyways, the halftime show actually looked great for a first year attempt.

I like what I saw, but CFM news needs to hurry.

Well, in regards to my complaint about the dusk time lighting ... because it's all relative. Compare the colors & lighting in the Jags-Eagles game versus the Chiefs-Steelers game during the same livestream. Major difference.

LOL. This is so sad.

After watching an archived copy of the stream from start to finish, I can honestly say that this is about what I expected. The game looks pretty good overall and the gameplay is getting there. I like the presentation direction, too. We just need more. One thing that did stick out like a sore thumb was the generic looking throwing motions. What happened? I mean, I know that they don't trigger all the time but I didn't see even one. Also, EA really needs to get onboard with player "signature styles" (running, throwing, tackling, catching, etc.). Everyone animates the exact same way and it kills the immersion. I want to see different catch types for wideouts; different running styles depending on the back (maybe certain attributes...); "hit stick" like tackles from players with 90 plus hit power. I want to visually see the difference between player A and player B.
