NCAA Football 11: Making a Monument - TCF Bank Stadium

Re: A look at TCF Bank Stadium In-game.

Looks really good, especially the skyline. I don't think the Atlanta skyline was that detailed for Georgia Tech last season.

In terms of fans, The Show has has the best looking graphics, although I love the animations you see in NBA 2K along the baseline the most. On a large scale, the fans in the stands aren't going to be that detailed. That's what depth of field is all about. I would like to see more detail out of the fans, media and players on the sideline though. Photographers in the endzone, boosters cheering, coaches interacting with players etc. But I digress, the stadium looks tremendous.

So basically, the front rows at places have 3D fans and the upper decks are 2D.

TAKE NOTES EA.

You guys could easily implement this into NCAA Football.

But we see the upper decks in football games 300% more than we do in basketball games. I don't recall ever seeing an upper deck in College Hoops 2k8, but I know I see the upper deck at least once a possession in Madden.

I'm not speaking basketball here. I'm talking about the games that do the 3D/2D mix. EA could make it flawless, I know they could, yet they choose not to.

Idk about you but I'm sick of the mosh-pit crowd. This is next gen, at least I thought it was.

I'm tired of the crowd period. Lets just play in an empty stadium with noises of the crowd.

Just kidding, I think EA needs to use the tech behind Backbreaker crowd. I'm not saying they should use the tackling tech, just the tech behind the crowd that allows them to make the crowd react in real time and it allows for 90,000+ fans all in 3D and live action.

Spot on detail, looks amazing. I had a hard time idenifying the real photos from the games ha ha. Great job EA, looks sweet. Minnesota fans, congrats, finally got their stadium in and it looks fantastic!

Re: A look at TCF Bank Stadium In-game.

and they have used that excuse extensively.

you mean the excuse where these limited consoles only have so much memory and processing power and throughput to render everything, have audio and physics and 22 instances of AI

that excuse?

The whole "we're on next gen consoles now, we can't do that old stuff" one

The stadium looks great. I sometimes just marvel at the amount of detail games have, today. I remember playing on my Colecovision just DREAMING we'd get to this point in console gaming.

Heh they pointed out the missing flag poles lol.

I think if they make the sidelines more busy, especially for big schools, it would add greatly to the atmosphere of the game. The emptiness of the sideline is a big eye sore when playing (catches near or running down the sideline). A crowded sideline makes it seem like there's alot going on (like in a real game).

I also hope dynamic crowds are exaggerated this year and fans wear appropriate weather gear.
And bring back the Blimps. They add to the great artwork you guys are doing.

Good job though!!!
Keep it comming.

yes but you are still leaving out the part where graphics (and audio and everything else) are taking up even more of the footprint of what is currently available relative to last gen. Standards of image quality, AI and animations are higher this gen with a limited amount of resources. 512 MB of RAM with everything they now have going on is pretty meager.


You can't have everything

Spoiler

unless you do it on the PC

Great find. It cool to see how the stadiums come to life! Is it July yet?

Re: NCAA Football 11: Making a Monument - TCF Bank Stadium

As a Minnesota fan...this is epic lol. I love it. They even rendered it closer than I was anticipating. Can't wait to get my hands on this game for real.
