    Umm Where's the 3d grass?

    Am I missing something? I thought the game was supposed to have 3d grass, but I did not see 3d grass at all in the E3 videos. Maybe I'm blind.

    Feel free to correct me and delete this thread, but did anyone else notice that the 3d grass looks rather... flat?

    The 3D is glass is there when the camera is zoomed in on a player on the ground, or a close up shot. It should look rather flat on overhead shots, because I mean...the grass/turf would look rather unkempt if it wasn't.

      3D grass is only noticeable during replays or close ups...during regular play it will look the same as previous Maddens

        Here's a good screenshot of it:


        I am not sure if you will be able to notice the 3D grass as much during real-time play, but you should notice the grass, snow, and water that players kick up.

          im pretty sure its something that graphic power is dedicated to only in zooming situations. Otherwise that effort is used elsewhere...

            I think what the OP is talking about is that the grass looks nothing like the above screenshot in the gameplay footage we have seen so far. And if the only time the grass looks like that is in cut scenes, then whats the point, what is this 1996 and the sega genesis?

              I agree. EA is basically touting this like its new when it was in freaking Madden 08 I believe?

                  Looks 3D, doesn't it? You're not going to notice the grass so much during typical gameplay.

                      Well it seems like the grass has been in EA's pipe of ideas before... maybe they just didn't remember?

                        Not quite. That's bump-mapped texture or parallax occlusion done to the flat textured grass to make it appear 3D when it's really still 2D. 3D involves real polygon based grass.

                          That is NOT 3d grass! That is as well as you can turf 2d grass, but notice there are no blades that go above the foot and no grass flying in the air like Madden 12 will have.

                            You can clearly see feet going down into the grass.

                              What this picture tells me, is what I already knew for many years now...

                              1.real grass is green, madden is always patchy spotted different colors
                              2.Madden grass always looks like its been zoomed in with a microscope.
