Last year didn't the art designer Jean show us the facemasks for NCAA '11? I wonder if he would do the same this year...perhaps on an Iowa Hawkeye player????

Yeah, the lighting does look great. Is the lighting progressive, or are they going to pull a 'Madden' and make it look pretty but it will not change? I don't like playing a football game during a 3 hour orange and pink sunset because it looks cool.

Progressive lighting adds atmosphere.

NCAA sort of had progressive lighting last year. It only progressed every quarter. As great as the new lighting is, I hope they bring back progressive lighting like we had in the first next-gen NCAA...5 years ago.

It is funny that this video talks about poly 3d grass and dreadlocks that animate back then,lol.

I will say this video does at least show actual gameplay footage, so you can truly judge the improvements for yourself. (Except animated dreads, didn;t see any footage of that)

My point is all these features have been SAID before.. It's not all that new

I know...I just don't want it to go backwards. Lighting changes per quarter are better than nothing. We haven't seen progressive lighting in a EA football game since Madden 07.

Improvements to the lighting do nothing for me if the effects are stagnant.

anyone know when the next blog or any kinda photos are coming out next? I dont think I can wait another week!

# 108 Lavar @ 03/16/11 02:21 PM

Pointless and crap video , always quick to show us how great the next game looks with its lighting and dreadlocks , oh and the grass looks so real. AL CRAP.
So many people again will be sucked in by this.
I want improved gameplay and better AI things that make the game play better.

I'm Winning.

I'm curious--what exactly were you expecting to see in a "Visual Upgrades" video?

It's too early, it's too late. When is the right time? Oh, well. Can't beat life into a dead horse.

No, it is complaining. Going into a thread clearly marked Visual Upgrades and making it about gameplay every single time is complaining and trolling. If you want to talk gameplay, why not go into the wishlist forum, where I'm sure you can find a thread there about gameplay, and talk about it. Is it really that hard? No, but you just have to make sure that your dissatisfaction is seen by everyone. Then you come in here and try to rain on everyone else parade because you happen to find what you see uninteresting even though you know exactly what you are getting into.

The right time to talk about gameplay for yourself may be now, but this is not the right place.

My initial post was to bring some understanding to why many folks bring up the discussion to Gameplay so often.

Maybe do to incorrect verbage on my part, the gamer misunderstood my post and I was trying to explain in a "Friendly" way.
That's why I said "My Friend" as in not to cause an issue.

Well let's take a look at what you brought to the table.
You entered into a Thread discussion only to attack somebody, then try to give direction on proper protocol for a Community "Discussion".

According to the highlights in your post, you just did exactly what you tried to note as the incorrect thing to do.
I think the word you used was "Trolling".

Again, I was just trying to shed light on why many take advantage to push the issue to discuss Gameplay when the opportunity arises in any thread about NCAA football.

Still trying to find something in your reply that is related to the thread discussion or football in general.

Maybe we can meet online after release and hash out our differences

Anyway, it's all good.
We all just want this game to be the best it can be.

Why should I have to wait for this info since the lighting is what is being put on display here?

maybe because they aren't to the point where they feel comfortable showing gameplay videos?

And I'll await the sarcastic response to this post about how their gameplay is subpar and blah..blah..blah...blah.

But even this post will be criticized.

What I said was that you were in the wrong place to do this. The community discussion has clearly labeled places with a topic about what the discussion is. If someone has a clearly marked thread talking about how to upgrade the recruiting aspects of the game, are you going to go in there and start talking about gameplay? Only if you are purposely trying to draw attention to yourself.

I voiced my opinion about the visuals in the other thread when the first picture was released. It looks fantastic. I noticed you were in there as well talking about gameplay. I also notice that there is 3 front page topics on the 3 new plays that have been added so far to the game. Those would be a great place to start talking about gameplay, but I noticed you don't have a comment in any of them but the first one. Instead you have tried to push the gameplay into the two visual threads just because they don't appeal to you. There is nothing wrong with having complaints about the game, we all do. But somehow for a guy who is saying I am not on topic, Every single one of your posts in this thread and the other, features one line mentioning the photo or video, or visuals and not one of those sentences is used in a manner actually discussing it. Instead, it ends up being about what you dislike about gameplay, how its never too early for gameplay, and other topics not pertaining to the visuals of which this type of thread is supposed to be about. This is not the type of thread to post your sarcastic tones and "shed your light" on gameplay.

You aren't the only one who has pushed gameplay into this thread. However you seem to be the least willing to move on from this clearly titled thread on a topic that does not interest you.

So uhhhh back to these visual upgrades...I really hope that the field tears apart in real-time...for example, since grass comes up now, maybe have some marks left on the field (kinda like the show, or nfl 2k5). Also it'd be cool to see how the synthetic grass looks in this game and whether you see the rubber come out of the ground.

Visually, this game looks very impressive in the early stages.
