They always show those kinds of shots, but the gameplay will look the same as the past years. I don't care about cut scene shots, I care about the main play screen

I mean, do those blue eyes somehow change the game?

I absolutely agree. If we still have LBs and linemen that jump 10 feet in the air on picks what's the point?

It looks like the helmets has some dirt on it...and the uniforms as well. That might be a new juke animation too.

The point is that this is a thread about a screenshot for the new game, a picture of how the game is going to LOOK. There's no need for people to come in here with every complaint they've got, whine in some other thread.

Love this picture, the new game is going to look great!

I don't know if this has been discussed, but it seems as though a Florida player's helmet is off in the bottom right of the screen. It is at a weird angle for a helmet that would be attached to someone's head, so that is why I think it is off.

Anyway, the shot looks fantastic, eventhough Lamar Miller (#6) doesn't have dreads in real life and they haven't updated the shoes. But, those don't bother me too much.

The bottom right of the screen looks like a Florida cleat and a Miami player's cleat to me. I don't see a helmet at all. That would be cool if helmets came off again.

Just another one of those "little things". I wouldn't want them popping off like old gen though. That was kind of ridiculous.

I am certain those are just two peoples' shoes.

Also, I hate to burst peoples' bubbles who are thinking "REAL TIME PHYSICS!!!" but I'm pretty sure that what we're seeing is one of the animations for a ballcarrier branching out of a tackle.

I just took this from a NCAA 11 game: Not exactly the same, but fairly similar.

Of course I absolutely could be wrong (and I hope I am), but there's a little too much optimism in this thread right now so I thought I'd knock it down a bit

I second this... 3d "dynamic grass"??

Count me in!

The quest for graphical excellence is always on-going. Technology assures that. Styles on the field continue this. It's a race you can never win. You can always enhance the graphics and you can never be ahead of the curve. But a solid engine that actually replicates football is a foundation that can be used generation to generation. It can be designed from scratch to be near perfect and require little maintenance year to year. Yes, there are a lot of athletes with certain tattoos or don't wear thigh pads. But it isn't reflected in game. I think it's a cool feature, I do. But 1 month after you buy the game will you really go "Wow! This game plays like a crap, but look at those dreads!" or "Yeah, I haven't had a good game of online football due to cheesers but I still turn it on time to time to look at dreadlocks." Awwww.... how unique, an internet tough guy.

I agree with you on all the points u presented. Gameplay needs to be there before anything else. I have hope that they are gonna announce their new gaming engine tomorrow.

Are they going to do it for certain players like denard robinson??

I dont think they can. It will be generated faces with dreads. I think you will have to select the face.
The dreads look like they are brown. I hope they have black dreads. I hope they have more than 5 generated faces with dreads.

We just need to give you guys a few years to recoup. No need to beat on you when you're down.

2013 should be good.

# 174 SteelerSpartan @ 03/14/11 09:40 PM

Ions Finally!!!

Hope they have a good selection of facemasks though for the new helmets

Last year with the Revo Speeds was weak

And maybe we'll get some proper field degradation for once

College football is all about recruiting, and this game did a very poor job last year, too many power schools signing to many JUCOS, too many 50s overall, and too many players at one position. South Carolina signed Clowney the #1 player this year in real life. It would never happen in the game. Only like 7 or 8 schools get top 100 players in the game. Boise State recruits way to high, they never land 5 stars in real life. NEVER. Smaller and mid level schools can never come up. Every school stays the same overall apart from each other and just get a little worse over time bc of bad progression. Arizona could never have a single 90+ overall on their roster in the future years in dynasty, for example. Bad progression models and the inability to ever recruit a 4 or 5 star player.

They do need to open the recruiting and player development up a bit more. It's a lot of B-, C+ teams the further u get into the dynasty.

U should focus on getting a win against the Buckeyes Michigan boy and not the pics. In real life or video games we're gonna whoop that a**. It also looks like there may be physics.

Not necessarily, say within this picture there is an indication of physics being a new inclusion to the game(still very unlikely imo) then this has more to do with than just appearances.

This is relevant to his post how?

Haha, I had another look at it and it looks like you're right. Whoops.
