    Re: madden 13 new grass

    I think the M13 grass is far more photo realistic up close like it should be. It seems in M12 they were using far away photo shots of the grass to depict it up close too maybe.

    Here are some real photos of Fedex Field.

    One look likes M13, the first with lighter grass, the other like M12, so idk which is better but some people did complain about the color of the grass didn't look real in M12. Maybe they will chime in.

      Re: madden 13 new grass

      At first I did feel like the field did look a bit too much like a pool table; but I have seen some distance shots (like the ones Big Fn Deal posted) that show similar color to the photos depicted for M13, however, I think the majority of those pictures were for artificial turf.

      For example, I don't think Soldier Field would EVER look anything like that M13 pic.

      I'm really waiting for them to release pics of field degradation, which is something they aluded to in the presentation blog. It is supposed to be a great complement to this new field texture.

      So as it seems quite trendy these days... LET'S WAIT AND SEE

        the lighter green with m13 looks better. Also up close to the field the blades of grass seem to look much better too. I think HDR lighting will also make the grass shimmer more realistically under certain scenarios, bringing out more color and vibrancy,etc.

          Just to add to Big FN Deal's pics, I spent too much time trying to find an angle closer to that in the Madden 13 pics.

              That definitely looks more like the M13 pic, it might have a lot to do with the fact that it was the 1st game of the season and the field was really taken care of too look like that :P

                Crowd has a lot less yellow in the Madden 13 pic too, maybe they did touch up the crowd just a little. I also heard that Madden 13 will have better field degradation so maybe the field will look like that week one but as the season progresses it will look less and less like a "pool table".

                  yeah you can tell it was early in the season by the people in the crowd still wearing short sleeves,etc..so it was early in the season in that pic

                    Yeah that was a good one up close that Smashman posted and that's what I was thinking in my first post, that M13 is a better depiction of real grass, closer in. It seems like the field in M12 was from far away photo angles and it stayed that way even in game play when closer to the field.

                    Also, like Moegames stated, the lighting may help too. Anyway, the grass was the least of my peeves in M12 but some people did complain so I am glad that they have tried to address it. Hopefully the grass and the game as a whole is more realistic.

                    EDIT*- I think I get what some some people are saying now about the field degradation. So the M12 field might have been depicting a pristine barely degraded field, where as M13 is going to actually degrade more so over time. Well will it start out pristine in M13, looking initially like M12 but degrade or just start out looking used and get worse? lol

                      It has been the same thing since madden 07, Fedex Field still lacks authenticity

                        In the newest videos of Madden 13, the day games (1 pm kickoff) at fedex, the sun is in the wrong location in the sky, so the shadows of the players are facing the wrong way. And whats up with the white outline around the skins helmet in the endzone and the concrete wall that is STILL there behind the endzones? There should be 3 or 4 more rows of seats

                            More noticeable to me is they have the number scripts incorrect.

                              In the past I have always felt that Maddens grass was over the top looking. Madden 06-08 was easily the best with detail, even though they weren't really authentic shaded over top a little to look like the real stadiums. Madden 10-12 was almost too zoomed in looking and way over detailed from what it should be. This year looks pretty good IMO. I still think Backbreaker's grass is the best in terms of grass detail.

                              I thought Madden 12 had the worst looking grass ever. It looked water colored on PS3, and on Xbox there were still a few stadiums that didn't look good at all. Way too blotchy if you ask me.

                              I think one of the main reasons that Madden 13's visuals look so much better is the new grass. It really lets the players pop off the field as they should.

                              I know a lot of people come on here and say, oh look another grass thread, etc....I understand that, it might seam to be a small thing, but believe me grass graphics make a huge difference for the visuals of this game. I've messed around with it in photoshop a few times. From what I can tell, madden 13 does a very nice job, and shows how it impacts graphics.

                              Now that the grass has been scaled back to a more realistic detail level, maybe they have a bit more graphic power available for sidelines, or field/player uniform degrading,etc?


                              ***My main complaint now with graphics area is it is time for either new camera options, or bring in a true custom cam system EXACTLY like Madden 05 offered. Player models shape is a very close 2nd.
