Re: Will they fix Michigan's helmet for the 360 version???

they don't look that off to me, and to me it's not that big of a deal, hell I'm a Clemson fan and last year they didn't even get jersey numbers on some of our jerseys. With as much work as they've had to do on the 360 version, i'm not suprised they missed something. Before you start calling EA lazy, how about you work a 100 hour week at a video game company

Though not a stickler for this type of thing... the spacing is a little wide. I can see why some UM fans would be distraught.

I guess it wouldn't personally distract me, but again to each his own.

I'm not normally very sympathetic with the "VCU's socks are the wrong color" crowd, but in this case I'm going to have to take EA to task. The UM helmet is arguably the most distinctive and recognizable in all of football. It simply shouldn't be possible to screw it up this badly.

At least your facemasks have been the right color...I've had to put up with grey faskmasks for my longhorns for years. I feel your pain, but let's put things in perspective. Hopefully they will get things fixed...

The whole helmet looks a little bit off. Seems like the "wing" is a little flat and the lines are spaced too far apart as a result. If I was a UM fan I would definitely be distraught. Hell, as a college football fan I'm a little disappointed that their rendering of UM's helmet thus far looks poorly done.

Re: Will they fix Michigan's helmet for the 360 version???

As a Wisconsin fan, I notice the difference and it is a little irritating. But through the NCAA incarnations I've had to deal with a stadium that is consistantly 2-3 years behind it real life counterpart and a mini motion W, for a couple of years, on the Badger helmets. But I can still enjoy the game. I guess I just got used to the differences.

I realize Michigan is a bigger player than my Badgers are, but everyone is going to have their gripes.

Are there other programs than Michigan and Princeton that use that helmet design? I can't recall, but wouldn't their's be off as well?
