The graphics from the 09 demo appear to be identical with the 09 final release. Yes, I am playing on an HD TV with an HDMI connection. It appears that for some reason, the PS3 has taken a major graphical hit in terms of player models, jersey textures and especially helmet appearance quality with regard to lighting / reflections. The OU helmet looks like a throwback from the PS2. There are some gameplay improvements, but with the very bad graphics, I will not pay $60 for a few gameplay tweaks and a chance to build a high school team online. EA needs to clarify why the graphical quality is so poor. If these are the graphics that will be part of the final release, they should be embarrassed.

Yup noticed this too. I hope it has to do with it being the demo, but like you said, the NCAA 09 demo looked better graphically. The colors seemed washed out, the helmets don't glimmer. It definitely looked something out of PS2.
