I remember loading up NCAA on PS3 for the first time. (Was it 08'?) and being underwhelmed and it really hasn't improved much.

The best barometer for me is my wife who doesn't know anything about video games. She'll comment on how real games like Battlefield, or Red Dead Redemption and of course The Show, look etc. but she has actually commented on how poor the graphics on NCAA are.

yea i got it on both and the 360 looks better but im using a HDTV without HDMI.

The lighting is better and the motion blur is better on 360. Player models are also well represented . PS3 has better gameplay though... its so much faster in terms of speed i think too. 360 felt kinda slow.

Yeah my biggest issue with the 360 version is that it's slower.

360 on my HD monitor looks amazing.

On the PS3, I wonder if it's the resolution setting. Does anyone remember that a few years ago? I remember it looking hideous and lowering the setting to include 720. Did that, and the game looked great. Since I believe my six-year-old TV is 720, I kept the setting there. This game looks better than last year, graphically, to me.

Could we get some comparison photos up?

I play on a calibrated PIO plasma through HDMI on PS3 and COMP on 360, and the 360 has some AA while the PS3 looks to have none at all. The 360 version also loads faster and moves smoother through menus, and game play. It isnt even close in my book. It really pisses me off to, becasue I have a couple of buddies who only play on PS3.

I played the demo on both as well. I gotta tell you, I think the graphics look better on 12 than 13. One poster said the demo always looks jagged and maybe that is the case. I threw 09 in my Xbox and then 13 demo (because I thought the models looked the same, and the passing game played that wide open style). I was amazed at how similar 09 and 13 are in some regards. If someone has the time an 09, check me on this one.............

Game is insanely better on the 360. Sadly, this is just the reality of it and as a PS3 owner I am used to it
