Could they have made the sidelines any worse?

The side line players look horrid and they almost all move at the exact same time doing the exact same motions. It looks so horrible during cut scenes you just kinda gawk at it's awfulness. The sidelines looked better last generation and they sucked back then too!

bro, chill out! let the man have an opinion. i happen to agree with him. EA should sacrifice atleast half those zombies and put some real time players on the sideline, next year. the funny thing is, the crowd looks twice as good as the sideline and they out number them 200 to 1. there's no reason why 2k can do this and EA can't...

Does anything other than the game play? What's your point. Who said anything about it effecting the outcome of the game.

To answer the question...no this is as bad as it gets.

I wonder when The Chargers offense goes off the field, does Tomlinson walk over to the sidelines and morph into a 300 lb dude who just stands there and clap all game long?

Sidelines really do suck...I think the crowd is horrible too. They are always on there feet, and the stands are always packed no matter where you play. I really wish they would do something about the sidelines, but EA will probably never care enough to do anything.

Everyone knows that gameplay is most important, so I don't need to hear, "does this effect game-play". The fact is though that the sidelines look so bad that it sticks out like a sore thumb. It takes away from the immersiveness of the game. Instead of seeing your teammates, or something that resembles human form, your left seeing some sort of mutants from the 32 bit era that is made even worse by the strange and synchronized movements they make.

I agree that the sideline players look like ******s. I seriously hope EA works on graphics and presentation as priority #1 next year. Fortunately like it was brought out that it really doesn't affect the game, but it would be nice to have better presentation, on field refs, etc next year.
