This is Jeremy Young QB Southern Miss, He is not that ripped(although he is 215) And he is wearing the wrong gear I haven't found a picture of him wearing that facemask yet.

I seriously doubt that EA will do good by both their football titles this year and thats why i am avoiding them like the plague this year. I truly LIKED the look and feel of NCAA last year. their lighitng was again stunning and me just reading the fact that they've gone and "improved " it worried me so much along with messing with the colors of the game etc that were almost perfect last years. where they needed to add stuff was players on the sidelines and more cut scene action along with maybe better 'snow" effects. i fear the absolute worst for this years football titles the absolute worst...

Dude, come on. NCAA 08's player models needed work bad. The shoulder pads were absurdly oversized and the lineman were all built like Santa Claus.

. 09's look alot better from what we've seen. I actually can't wait to see and hear more about 09.

Looks like they are bringing back more details to the player models like 07. That was one thing I noticed on last years game. I believe they made the sacrifice for the performance jump (60 fps). I like the new look. Though it's a shame we have to worry about whether or not they are neglecting other much more neglected areas of the game (presentation and atmosphere) in order to keep "refining" the player models. In truth, the news I'd really like to hear is about a new broadcast presentation system, return of team specific entrances, x number of NEW lines of commentary added etc...

At this point, beyond the obvious continued gameplay improvements, it really is all about enhancing the immersion factor.

TRUE STORY. Like I've stated before the gameplay isn't as bad to me as some people make it out to be. It's the presentation, atmosphere and the immersion that this game lacks so badly(as well as Madden).

Same here. Gameplay needs some work but if the look and feel are there, then I can understand it. If everything is in(AI, Equipment, Correct and Alt. Uni's etc.), I can understand gameplay still needing tweaking. Then, fix it in the patch ASAP and I'll understand and never bitch.

When put side-by-side like that, the new models look MUCH better... very realistic.

I like what I see.
