That is an interesting observation. You could be right about this.

These face pictures make college players look either really old or like gigantic babies.

Sometimes things like this are best left to the imagination. In my opinion the face potraits on the first next gen title far excede these in terms of variation and individualism, even though there were a limited number of face portraits to choose from. This is not a make or brake issue and does not affect the game a great deal. I just think its a nice feature that has been implemeted before its time maybe.

The portraits make the UI much more responsive though, that's why we switched to them.

Agreed. It seems in some areas EA is getting really slack at. And it is really killing NCAA game little by little.

They need to add more hair and faces. Six is not enough....and they need to actually adjust generated recruits equipment/helmets according to the team they go to (IE: Penn State only wears one specific type of helmet, some teams only wear Revo helmets).

We really need Under Armor cleats too. The shoes are a huge part of pop culture today and it is kind of crappy for them to look like they would have been on 2 or 3 systems back.

Oh my goodness I love you. There isn't a soul in college football who still wears the Air Zoom Superbad's.

Well It is good to hear that there is a reason behind this particular endeavor. Hopefully measures can be taken next year to add some more variation to the portrait models. I.E. dreadlocks, long hair, facial hair, corn rows, and facial structure differences. I do like the feature I just wish we had more options with it.
