Grass Textures Missing?

I am part of the I really don't care party. Focus on gameplay, devote all resources to gameplay and features and then, maybe, just maybe, add in some graphical touches.

I'll just ignore the subjective sleight and talk about cut scenes. Cut scenes look the way they do because the system can focus on minimal assets and processes for a short period of time. It's a controlled environment with controlled angles.

Gotcha, learned that part... Doesn't explain why games like FABLE 3, GTA4, NBA
2K11, MLB 2K11, the list goes on... seem to look AMAZING even when they
aren't in cut scenes.

Why cant the field look like this?

It is easier to get good graphics in those other games because there's a lot less stuff going on and less interaction at any one time.

With the grass in '12, it looks like they just varied the tones waaay too much so it doesn't really blend together.

They did it better in FIFA (11 was either the first or second year of 3d grass I think), and it's an EA game... I still hope it's better in the retail version.

the grass looked better last year. its unrealistic in cut scenes how the grass looks so long and in 3d. in real life you cant even actually see the actually blades of grass and its cut shorter. put the field from 11 back in!

No god no don't put the field from 11 back in..put the grass in fifa in. That is real grass.

I can't believe that nobody has brought up the point about how deceitful and disingenuous it is for EA to hype this "feature" up and "fail to mention" the fact that it's only there during replays and cutscenes (but at a 10 yard draw distance).

It's insulting to the customer base and terribly unethical; telling people a half truth is as bad as lying, IMO.

Look at FIFA. That game does 3D grass magnificently, and it's mind boggling why they can't just do the same thing in NCAA.

I appreciate the effort, but it's a big swing and a miss.
