If EA was to have Fifa's grass in NCAA 13 and had it visible at all times, then we'd have it realistically done. That game has it cut short, but can still be seen from all angles and if I am not mistaken does not turn flat after 10 yards. That is what I think most of us expected with the 3d grass we have now, but now that we see we don't have that, we're going a little overboard with how it should look.
All I expect is grass to

1. Look like grass.
2. Smell like grass. (Bonus) ;-)

In all honesty, I wouldn't be complaining at all if EA just had the color right...
Like they do in Fifa...

Lol... Looks like they used Sims 3 grass or something...

Anyway, your points are otherwise valid.

Still, what the hell is up with the color? lol


EXACTLY! The point I am trying to make is not that the 3D grass is not in the actual in game camera, it is that the grass we have now in the actual in game camera does not look like grass. It looks like someone used the smudge tool in photoshop and added lines. Fifa's grass in-game LOOKS like ACTUAL GRASS. There is a distinct "look" of what grass looks like (for lack of a better phrase) and the smudge tool is not it. Let me give you an example, as if you need more. We will go inside the Carrier Dome because this is where I am from and can personally tell you that this turf does not look like the game turf at all. These pictures are from a discussion over on TheGamingTailgate.

Turf:


Not Turf:


There is a clear difference in the IN GAME camera of what LOOKS like grass (or turf) and what does not.

Re: Grass Textures Missing?

One reason I didn't bring up color is because I don't see a big problem with it. With the way my TV is set up when playing games, colors pop off the screen like they should, they don't look washed out, and the grass looks pretty similar to the grass I ca see right now out of my window.

I am not saying the solution to the colors being off in uniforms and grass, turf, domes, etc. is to set your TV up to make it look right, but that is one way to fix it if you have the patience/time.

Thank you very much.

Lol.... you're the only one, man.


You really think that "this" is acceptable?



Here's what it SHOULD look like... Screen taken from Madden 2005!!!!!!!




It's pretty bad when Madden 2005 looks better. hahah

Yes I definitely agree with you there. There are some things that can be fixed on your own if you have the patience to do it. However I have played around with it a little and it doesnt seem to make much of a difference for me. Do you put yours on game mode or sports mode? Something that makes the screen a little darker?

Re: Grass Textures Missing?

Well, my TV doesn't have the Game Mode or Sports mode. It has things like Livid, Standard, Energy Savings. What I like though is to generally have the color saturation near maxed out if not maxed out because I like for everything to pop and I also like everything to look as bright on TV as it does in real life. When I play Red Dead Redemption I actually have to squint when facing the sun because of how bright it is on my TV. I also like my shades of black to be noticeable, so not everything looks deep black. That helps shadows look better, especially in games and movies. The more shades of black you can see, the better dark scenes, or parts of a shot can look, IMO of course.

With my TV like this, day games look like they're actually under the real world sun, the lights in the stadium are very very bright, and the colors on uniforms and the grass all pop and just look like the real things. Is it perfect? No. But it definitely looks a lot better than when looking at comparisons on this PC monitor.

I know I'm going to be in the minority here but I really didn't even notice this until I saw all the threads and comments about it.

And even after all the comments I still don't think it looks that bad. I guess I'm just focused on other things during the course of the game
