OMT or Future, where's our FIELD DEGRADATION??

No, its there. You can especially tell from a high up camera the wear pattern going down the middle of the field.

I'll check it out on my retail copy when I get home tonight (for some reason dev kits won't run retail games) and see if that is what the difference is.

honestly i think this is what most of our discrepancies are coming from. u guys are using dev kits and not seeing the same issues that are present on the retail version. how can you guys check something if ur not even on the same disc the consumer is on to check it and verify the problem.

its kinda just like the weather problem @ launch where u guys are using different servers and saying all was well and the weather was working fine for u, when in fact it was definitely not working for the consumers who use the other servers.

I can see the exact same field degradation pattern in both pictures, the problem is that it's brown in the first one, and light green in the second. They need to go back to the brown pattern. Looks much, much more realistic.

All these pictures posted relating to field degredation, or lack there of, makes be wonder why fields are littered with so much whiteness.

When you watch a game on TV or in person, white is not a color that you see from the grass, yet in my NCAA 2009, I am sometimes blinded (depending on the camera angle) by the amount of bright whiteness on the grass.




But as far as field degredation being "subtle", your art director needs a "subtle" kick in the arse for making this decision. The amount of degredation that occurs in game is putrid.

Also, I read that it should occur during QTR changes. Can't we, by this point in time, get a real time degredation model? Fields don't change in real life at the end of each QTR....if it's in the game.......

I can understand you cats wanting a little more degradation during rain and snow. What I do not get is why you keep throwing up that silly UCLA daytime picture. How many UCLA photos do I need to post to show you that even the second picture is overdone? How about you find some photos/videos of college stadiums, that have grass and have some visible degradation, especially over the course of a game (and I am only referring to NON wet games, as that is obvious there could be more work) although not the mud bowls some of you guys keep posting.


Give the art director a visual clue as to why they are wrong, instead of the little smart *** remarks.

Hell it was decent in NCAA 2007
