RE: The First NCAA Image

I have a Madden 10 screenshot that I sent out to the team last week that reveals at least 6 new features (Impressive for a single shot) and looks at least as good as the NCAA shot. Hopefully that is what Peter sends out! It will blow your mind.

Nice news to hear and from the sound of the comment I'm guessing it's a view of the field & players. Though quick question, is it six "new" features, or some features that may have been revamped to look better, or a mixture of both

God don't let there be a field blur feature. I absolutely hate this in All Pro and all the other Visual Concepts games.

Promise." and from Michael Young, Art Director of Madden and NCAA " Hey gang, I'm Mike Young AD of NCAA and Madden. This is the real deal. No photoshop. I am actually not stoked that this image was sent out, since the materials in the scene are not tuned at all. No fear the players will not look like plastic and the helmet reflections will be more realistic then ever." From the NCAA forums on OS.

If the game designer wondered whether it could photoshoppped at first, than it is pretty obvious this isn't very indicative of what the game will look like, but only extreme zoom closeups of it. Remember the thread awhile back showcasing amazing up close photos from Ncaa 2006 Next Gen? Well, I could find at least 10 of those photos that looked just as good if not better than this screenshot. I want to see what the game looks like the majority of the time, the animations, gameplay etc, before I would even remotely consider spending money on it.

Mid March is a lot better than draft day, which I really can't wait for.

This is getting me all worked up. Why can't August get here any time soon?
