Started counting blades of grass launch night of the XBone.
I figured I would try it out since someone at EA mentioned that you could
Probably count each one in some interview transcript I read.
So after 17 days spending at least 1 hour a day on average because I did miss a day twice and had to pull 2 hours days twice Ive finally reached the APPROXIMATE number. I say approximate because Im not perfect and may have missed (and in all likelyhood HAVE missed) several blades of grass. However I think that using the system for counting that I have used, I am correct within about 1000 blades. If anyone at EA reads this or any gamechangers read this please let me know if my count is accurate.
So the number Of blades of grass that I counted was:
238,472,165.
And the thing is, Im not a numbers guy at all but I think Im very close.
Anyone else try this?
Im just grateful to EA for giving us this type of detail.
Another interesting tidbit...there are actually BUGS in the grass. 99% sure mist of you HAVENT noticed this but if you do what I did you will see that there are bugs in the grass every so often in the field...CRAZY

I don't know what to say. I'm all for attention to detail and all, but that is just taking to to some inconceivable level. Don't get me wrong, I admire your dedication and attention to detail. But, what was the point? Also, I want to see pictures of these "bugs"as the notion that EA would take the time to put something like in the game strikes me as utterly absurd and unnecessary.
