Maybe I missed it (lots of comments), but didn't see anyone mention something.

The uniforms aren't just dirty. They seem to have picked up orange paint from the field. #52 has orange on his butt. #22 has it on his thigh. The Miami lineman on the far left turned sideways has orange on the green stripe on his leg. And in the zoomed-in pic somebody posted of the ballcarrier, #6, he seemed to have orange on his green helmet (though that might not be paint from the field but paint from Florida's orange helmets?).

Picking up paint, not just dirt, would be a new thing, right? Or have I just never noticed it before (I admittedly didn't play NCAA much this year as I got it so much later than usual, so I didn't spend the summer and fall months enveloped in it like I usually do)?

New stuff...dreads, and a whole bunch of little things. The U on 6's left knee for instance, the dirt on 52's pants, the helmets.

I do not like the sleeves though. Looks bad on the unis. 22 and 6 seem to have the loose style. F'ugly.

With the new helmets they added the proper chinstrap. I wonder will you be able to can the chinstraps?

I can't wait to see it in motion as well, but I'm kinda scared to see it in motion at the same time.

I fear this is something EA/Tiburon will never get right.

The photo looks good!

- Dreads (not a big deal to me, but nice touch)

- Grass looks awesome!

- Combat unis are sick of course

- New helmets, yes!

Now I was satisfied graphic-wise in '11, I want to see more smooth animations, better frame rate on replays, more pass interference calls, and please take advantage of ESPN broadcast!

# 147 sportzbro @ 03/14/11 05:37 PM

wow. this looks awesome.

the grass, of all things, is incredible.

# 148 jWILL253 @ 03/14/11 05:40 PM

Do the jerseys wrinkle dynamically? I mean look at #55's jersey, then look at #22, then #6. They have different wrinkle patterns...

# 149 MSchneider84 @ 03/14/11 06:21 PM

The screen shot looks great.

Just a couple of comments:

1. The colors still look washed out
2. I hope they get the correct sock colors in for the Nike Pro Combats (Miami Green, Boise St. Blue, ect.)

	Dang!! That's AWESOME!!! Thank you for sending me that screenshot as I suspected they might add them in this year but this confirms it. WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again!! Can't wait until July..

# 151 Zasnow @ 03/14/11 06:33 PM

Is it me or did they fix the taped wrists on #55? I also notice 3 cleats. The cleat to the far right, RB, and OL. Maybe im just seeing stuff thats not there.

# 152 CYST2000 @ 03/14/11 06:38 PM

I see what could be a huge upgrade towards physics in this screen shot. Look at how the animations are almost perfectly aligned with what is going on in the tackling animation. I smell physics based collision detection, and that would be too d@mn sweeeet!

# 153 Kaiser Wilhelm @ 03/14/11 06:38 PM

Well dread heads got their fix. It is only fair that next us simulation/dynasty gamers get a tidbit of info on how they plan to fix defense or recruiting.

And just so this doesn't sound really condescending.

Congrats to all you dread heads.

# 154 LionsFanNJ @ 03/14/11 07:04 PM

Thank you based god! we have dreads.

Next on the agenda....dual threat qbs and better recruits....and solid team color cleats. Lol. I just
Want to get outta work to really get a good look at the screen.

# 155 Gossennator @ 03/14/11 07:06 PM

Wow this looks awesome..I hope the night games look good too. Another thing that bothered me with 11 was how bad everything looked in overcast weather too.

# 156 LionsFanNJ @ 03/14/11 07:10 PM

Speaking of overcast weather I know madden fixed a bug in franchise weather. So
I'm hoping NCAA gets a fix. There were never plain overcast skies in the game in dynasty. It
Was either sunny rain or snow. Never just cloudy.

Okay, stop right there. This picture is already all wrong.

Everyone knows that Florida is way too scared to play The U...

# 158 Joborule @ 03/14/11 07:15 PM

Came in here just to say this.

3D grass?

**** YEAH!

Graphics look really sharp. Finally the whole picture is complete since grass looks realistic along with the player models and background. Great stuff.

Pffft.

Back on topic. I still can't believe how good that picture looks. All these little things start adding up. I'm already getting jazzed about it all.

# 160 Goofybub23 @ 03/14/11 07:30 PM

I gotta say that has to be one of the most realistic screenshots I have ever seen. They all look so real its insane. I love it! Can't wait to hear a list of features tomorrow!
