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.

I'm hoping for the same thing. It's be nice to see a picture from a synthetic field or, like GMS said earlier, a grass field in the rain. Having the grass actually be 3D and coming up is a good sign hopefully.

I didn't say a video, I would just like a screen shot, from the angle we play the game in to actually be able to appreciate how this lighting they are showing off improves the game the way they claim it does.

Once you go into that sky cam view, I think these "improvements" will look very minimal. (The subpar game play complaints will come once they start annoucing no physics based tackling and missing features of the past like no individual bump and run once again this year.)

The game looks outstanding.

NCAA 11 was an outstanding effort overall and a MAJOR improvement from the previous next gen versions.

The proof is in the pudding. The OS Legends is still going strong and we are closing in on year TEN of our league OD in NCAA 11. We'll have an all Decade team, which is something that is rarely seen in ODs. It's a fun fun game.

I've already listed all of my wishes in the "Commandments of NCAA 12" list so I'll just say I'm pumped yet again for the game in July. We'll probably be in Year 20 of the Legends league too.

That grass looks insane and dreads are a welcome visual addition.

My mistake, I meant to write photos, not videos.

But in any event, instead of wasting time "discussing" this.....ahhh the good ol' ignore function. Makes reading the forums much more tolerable.

didn't read all the comments so probably said before but DREADS!

# 126 The U @ 03/16/11 10:27 PM

I thought we were supposed to get a blog today

# 127 DickDalewood @ 03/16/11 10:51 PM

Man, I've been a Madden guy over NCAA since I started buying football games, but this lighting, and these player models DESTROY EA's other title.

Looks outstanding.

# 128 poopoop @ 03/17/11 05:27 AM

Every single year EA does this.

They make minor adjustments to things like lighting/hue/saturation/etc. and then tout it as improved graphics. Honestly if you look through the photo thread on here, it's not like there's a huge gap between those pictures and these new ones. I'd take NCAA 11's graphics unimproved if it meant they focused entirely on gameplay.

Hopefully well see what the graphics look like in motion, and more importantly what the gameplay looks like soon.

Game looks awesome and I love the new lighting. Can't wait for some gameplay news.

# 130 Hova57 @ 03/17/11 01:03 PM

I think even playing ncaa 11 it looks great , can only imagine what 12 is goin to look like in game. I hope they keep the stats up longer and actually use current stats in commentary

# 131 UNCLEHAWKEYE @ 03/17/11 01:48 PM

Jean, I'm gonna keep callin you out until we see all the facemask options (like you did for NCAA '11) and I politely request that you use an Iowa Hawkeye to show off the facemasks

Also, and perhaps it will be addressed in a future update, will there be eye black this year? thanks in advance!

I'm basically looking for EA to make a game comparable to NBA2k10, or 2K11. Just make the game very immersive. I want to be lost in the depth of ncaa 12. I dont think the game is that far off, but its time for it make a big step up.

So what does the art team do for the whole year if that's the case?

Some people really don't think thier comments through.

Some people want the art team to either learn how to work on gameplay or find another job so more gameplay people can be hired to work on gameplay

You can't fault EA for always leading off with the visuals. They do that each year when releasing new game details. From the limited things we've seen I admit it does look impressive. The grass is great, and I think the new lighting system adds something graphically that is hard to put a finger on.

Certainly visuals are only one part of the equation, but they've done good work to grab our attention. I'm curious how it will look in full motion, however, and whether these details will show when moving.

I'm mostly looking forward to see if there are any gameplay and dynasty improvement. From the blog it seemed as though they hinted at something that might be changing in terms of how the game feels when you're moving with/without the football. I'm curious to see if anything comes of that.

I like the metallic paint on the helmet of Miami's QB.

I love NCAA 11. That's after the early bugs of the PA glitch, the awful recruiting logic that they had to fix, etc. etc.

But still, I keep coming back to the game, especially for dynasty mode. If with the new graphical stuff they're going, they add a bump in presentation, it will be a must buy for me again this year.

Yea I feel you on that , the feel of the game and for the most part how it plays I just love. I think the list of gameplay fixes is a top ten fix and will make it a great game for 12 if they can do it all.
