NCAA Football 11 Art Director Reveals All Facemasks & Miami Hurricane Screenshot

09:25 PM - April 8, 2010 by Steve_OS

For those of you that haven't been poking around various threads in our NCAA Football Forums. Jean Adams, Art Director for NCAA Football 11 has been posting quite a few interesting details.

Here are some notable quotes from Jean.

Quote:


	"Here�s what we have this cycle. Some are new and others have been there for some time but all have been tuned to look more realistic. The girth of the facemask has been increased to give them a thicker look. It�s almost as if they weren�t rubber coated before. I know this is a very minor update but we want you to know that we care about the details as well. Ultra thin armbands are on many of the skill players and peppered through out other positions as well. They will be available through edit player as well."

Here is a look at some of the masks that could be added based off of just 4 of the masks already in the game.

aren't those from the gif that Jean posted? all of those plus alot more are in I think

# 43 Apollo @ 04/09/10 01:29 PM

My bad! I created those in Photoshop just to illustrate what is missing. We can can only hope they will add them.

Wow...Those look great. Hope Jean sees this because all of those facemasks should be in the game...All very popular styles that would add a lot of realism to the game.

If they truly are dedicated to making the game as realistic as possible they need to add those facemasks you posted.

Damn...I showed these to a co-worker...And he said "I didn't know that spring ball started"...lol No man thats the video game.

Thanks! But to be fair to Jean and his staff, These images are quick low res fudges I did on my lunch hour.

Even more reason for Jean and his team to be able to incorporate them into the game...

Shouldn't take Jean and his team more than an hour to add those into the game...

Do it Jean...Do it.

Please...

I think the problem isn't creating the different mask in 3D. It is adding the code to the game.

Love the screenshots. As always, the make-or-break point for this game will be the gameplay. I won't trust reviews about the gameplay. I'll have to wait to test drive the game myself (which, of course, I'll buy regardless). If the gameplay is markedly improved, then - and only then - will I be excited.

For some reason I can't pull up the slide show. But you mean to tell me that the facemasks that you did are not in the game?

If that is the case, than what did they add other than the facemask that Percy Harvin wore in college? That facemask is about 4 seasons old! The ones Apollo came up with are the ones that so many kids in college are wearing!

Don't get me wrong, gameplay is #1, but I want things to look real as well. They are behind the curve (of course they determine the curve) if they don't have those facemasks in the game. Granted the screenshots look good, but don't they every year?

I'm skeptical.

My dear Lord! I've been playing NCAA football since before it was called NCAA....We all remember the Bill Walsh days....but to my point.....this is hands down the best screen shot I've ever seen for ANY sports video game. Period!
By golly they may have done went and did it ya'll......now lets see can the feel match the looks.

Beautiful screens Jean.

Any chance we will see some Pro Combat jerseys this season? I'm dying to play as VT with the white helmets.

99.99% chance there will be. If not, EA dropped the ball, majorly.

# 57 BigFan77 @ 04/09/10 09:01 PM

All,

Thanks for the kind words and for all of the feedback on the facemasks. All I can say for now is that we're listening.
More info to come soon.

# 60 bpac55 @ 04/09/10 09:23 PM

Glad to see that you are listening...I think an additional 5 or so masks for THIS year would be clutch...also get rid of some of the ones that arent real...like the bull ring rb robot mask.
