I remember Ramone saying last year the 13' intro took like 3 months to make. So everything you just said makes sense (Not that I didn't believe you already, I myself already knew this as well, just saying for the sake of this convo).

3 months????? Holy crap!

There was a lot of floating tickets!

And one hell of a floating lineup card.

-The PS4 pics were older.
-Most development teams do not have "the graphics" nailed down early when dealing with new technology.
-Every game and every marketing plan are unique when it comes to these subjects.

The problem that a lot of people are complaining about when it comes to the ps4 graphics are the player models, so i doubt they've changed the actual player models since the pics were released.

Funny cause I have never watched the intro on 13 all I wanted to do is to get to the gameplay as fast as possible and I am sure I am not the only one

I'm kind of the same way. I only watch the intro the first time I put the game in. Any other time I'm skipping it.

The actual models are probably similar or the same, but simple improvements could make them look a lot better in the final moving image. When you have a good base small graphical improvements can make a in game assets look a lot better. PS3 screenshots don't look that great either compared to seeing the game running.

In the end though I could care less how the game looks in screenshot form. If the game plays at 60 fps at all times with no hitches I'll be very very happy. The jerseys could be loose, the players could have the wrong beards, but as long as it plays smooth I'll be plenty happy with the first PS4 game. Its the only visual aspect of the PS4 version that I'm really worried about as we're seeing tons of variability in performance on current gen consoles (PS4 & Xbox One).

No denying the intro was great.

Bit of a waste of time though. Not sure a sports game really needs an intro especially if it takes 3 months. Watch once and then done.

Anyway the game looks great and can't wait until April 1st followed by "sometime in May"

The only thing I am concerned with is that they are gonna take out the broadcast presentations in the game. The Show 13 was a decrease in broadcast presentations for sure. I hope they added more this year instead of skimped out just to make the game shorter. I don't want that I want stat overlays of rankings and put in the current standings and a bunch of stuff like that. 13 just wasn't as good as 12 was in that aspect. Hope they please me with this. I am very concerned that it's gonna be stale and not feel like a broadcast anymore.

I didn't realize they spent that much time on it. I kind of feel I should go back and watch it seeing that I never have now. I haven't watched a sports game intro video in years. I just press X as fast as I can to get to a game started.

You'll have to be far more specific. There are many aspects that go into the appearance of the players. If you're specifically referring to the models, are the complaints about the proportions or the poly count? If that is the case, then, yes, those probably won't change. My guess is, no, these aren't the complaints.

When you say "models", I'm, again, guessing you referring to some form of texturing, shaders, and/or lighting. These aspects are far more dynamic.

Wood, would you be able to say if you guys were able to get the poly count greater to where it was in that Mike Napoli picture in the other thread? Like where you saw more texture, wrinkle, and detail in the right picture? I dont know how to quote something outside the current thread, but the picture I'm talking about is on the PS4 forums under "PS4 discussion" Pg 43, #1707 lol

The one complaint that stood to me was regarding the jerseys. They do still seem very doughy in the middle areas where wrinkles happen and stiff on the edges. The sleeves and the tucked in part of the jersey look rigid and not affected by gravity the way you would expect. Because the jerseys cover so much of the players I feel like it stands out and was a complaint when the screenshots came out. I think one of Factzzz's complaints was regarding the jersey which I somewhat agree with.

This is the image that A_Quiet_Pro is referring to I think if anyone's curious.
