Looking at the comparison on pastpadres site, 09 looks really good and alot better than 08.

This is Jeremy Young QB Southern Miss, He is not that ripped(although he is 215) And he is wearing the wrong gear I haven't found a picture of him wearing that facemask yet.

I don't wanna muddy up this thread with hate BUT.

NCAA 08 was near perfect in it's "core" visuals. And from what I've seen and most importantly READ NCAA 09 is gonna mess up 08's visuals up. they've messed with the lighting model which was absolutely stunning last year and it seems like they went and beefed up players as well which should have been left skinny.

I seriously doubt that EA will do good by both their football titles this year and thats why i am avoiding them like the plague this year.

I truly LIKED the look and feel of NCAA last year. their lighitng was again stunning and me just reading the fact that they've gone and "improved " it worried me so much along with messing with the colors of the game etc that were almost perfect last years. where they needed to add stuff was players on the sidelines and more cut scene action along with maybe better 'snow" effects.

i fear the absolute worst for this years football titles the absolute worst...

Dude, come on. NCAA 08's player models needed work bad. The shoulder pads were absurdly oversized and the lineman were all built like Santa Claus.

Looks like they are bringing back more details to the player models like 07. That was one thing I noticed on last years game. I believe they made the sacrifice for the performance jump (60 fps). I like the new look. Though it's a shame we have to worry about whether or not they are neglecting other much more neglected areas of the game (presentation and atmosphere) in order to keep "refining" the player models. In truth, the news I'd really like to hear is about a new broadcast presentation system, return of team specific entrances, x number of NEW lines of commentary added etc...

At this point, beyond the obvious continued gameplay improvements, it really is all about enhancing the immersion factor.

TRUE STORY. Like I've stated before the gameplay isn't as bad to me as some people make it out to be. It's the presentation, atmosphere and the immersion that this game lacks so badly(as well as Madden).

Same here. Gameplay needs some work but if the look and feel are there, then I can understand it. If everything is in(AI, Equipment, Correct and Alt. Uni's etc.), I can understand gameplay still needing tweaking. Then, fix it in the patch ASAP and I'll understand and never bitch.

When put side-by-side like that, the new models look MUCH better... very realistic.

I like what I see.

Re: NCAA Football 09, 08, 07 Screenshot Comparison

Wow... I guess I'm alone in the way I feel:

The models look slightly better in an up close, still picture that you're rarely going to appreciate anyway. SO WHAT? What does that matter when there is no atmosphere, no immersion in the game and a terrible broadcast/presentation of the game at hand.

No of these graphical updates truly matter. They highlight minor difference like this so you have something to talk about amongst yourselves while we don't get the changes this franchise needed.

Is this what we have to resort to? Taking one or two images and studying them with a magnifying glass trying to find any minor change we can? This is next-gen gaming?

It continues to amaze me everyday just how (IMO) irrelevant football gaming has become. I used to LOVE football gaming... and now I spend a lot more time enjoying Hoops and Baseball. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm not alone.

I want the game to look better but I'm gonna be pissed if all the options and features from the last gen aren't included as well as the obvious improvements made.

Not really celebrating the minor graphical advancements here, just commenting on what they've put out thus far, this early in the process. I agree wholeheartedly with you about EA/Tiburon stepping up and improving the atmosphere, etc. in Madden/NCAA though.

The fact of the matter for me is that I really primarily only play Football games for the most part, some basketball, and an occasional action/adventure (see GTA) game. So, as unfortunate as it sounds Madden and NCAA are going to be purchases for me until this exclusivity issue plays itself out or I stop gaming. I guess I'm one of the consumers EA was looking to capture by buying the exclusivity rights for the NFL and NCAA licenses...

You are definitely not alone. I agree with everything you said. This is all we have to go on as of now so, I'm trying my hardest to remain positive but, this is EA we're talking about.

Re: NCAA Football 09, 08, 07 Screenshot Comparison

Two things.

Why do people always get excited for these photoshopped "screenshots"? It's almost certain the game we get will not look like that.

Also, why has it been so hard for them to get proportions down. Football is heavily photographed/imaged. There has to be some reason it's taken years to even get close to real player proportions.

I know. I like our red jerseys better and normally wear them more often than the blue, in past versions. I like the blue, just not as much as the red. Not having the option to wear red, plus looking at those blue #'s on the away jerseys drives me crazy.
