NCAA Football 11: Making a Monument - TCF Bank Stadium

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

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

I wasn't trying to bash anything I was just saying.

Also I still find it hard to believe other games can do insane things on these consoles and they couldn't even get refs until 5 years in.

I can't lie, I'm a little bummed that there were no new videos/info that came out today...

The fans have been my biggest gripe with this game since it first came to the next-gen consoles. If they could get realistic crowds the way we see them in all of the NBA games, I would pay double the price for the game and be a buyer every year. There really is no excuse for there having been literally no improvements to the fans since this game was first created. There have been 2D fans in games since the PS1 days...no reason for a next-gen console to have the same limited amount of detail.

Backbreaker has the luxury of taking 4 years to develop because none of their rosters or teams are based off of real teams, so they never change. That's why theirs is so much better looking on the field AND in the crowd.

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

The show has excellent fans.

I wouldn't say that. You can really tell it's about 12 different models. All of the like models do the same animation at the same time. It looks really bad at times.

Rosters have nothing to do with the lack of fans in NCAA. BB is a football game too you know, they are rendering the same 22 guys out there, along with some crazy lighting effects and graphics. They are able to get 3D fans for 190,000 fan stadiums (no joke) because they are using some form of tech that EA obviously isn't willing to go out of their way to get. EA has been and probalby always will be focused on doing it themselves, which unfortunately is usually lackluster.

Anything 3D would be a lot better than the 2D mosh pit crowds we have now, even if its 4 models doing the same thing.

fifa world cup has nice pretty good looking fans imo. also the announcers and crowd do a good job of recognizing when a big play is happening such as a goal almost being scored hitting off the post, the crowd loudens and the announcer is raising his voice and getting all excited. We need this more in NCAA during big plays and in crucial times of the game.

I really don't understand why you people keep coming into threads and deeming certain topics stupid to argue about. Face it, a game cannot be enjoyable without every aspect, big or small. I'm not saying the gameplay is perfect, or whatever you are trying to deem more important. The topic on my mind now is how fans look, and they look bad, so I'm going to voice my opinion like I'm entitled to. The game would be more enjoyable for me and many people if the fans actually looked good. I mean, they have the stadiums looking really freaking good, yet they put these 8 pixel 2D mosh pit crowds in them which really just brings down the look of the game.

Man, it must be April/May, because you all have sure run out of things to talk about.

With all the problems this game has, the fact that we are having an argument about fans and how they look, and the fact that said argument is spanning multiple threads is, in my opinion, ridiculous.

oh my god it's not ridiculous at all. we've haven't had a blog in a week and this is the info that's been put out so people are giving their impressions on it which is exactly what this board is for. If you don't like what's beeing talked abou in the thread don't post about it, very simple.

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

I don't think there is any argument, really. The fans don't look nearly as good as they could. That is just fact. He's entitled to "complain" or bring it up. I didn't think he was over the top with it, he was just pointing out the fact that they could do better, which they could, no question about it.

Though I will say, I think people need to relax about Backbreaker until we see the game come out and we can see ALL of the warts like we do with EA Sports games since people have been studying them for the last 5 years for this current gen.

Do you think maybe it is because people are tired of going to every thread and seeing constant complaining by you? It is impossible to read anything right now without your pessimistic views splattered everywhere.

Fans still look like crap

Trainers, fans, unrealistic ESPN camera angles

its unrealistic and pretty stupid looking

No offense but these are horrible

Basically no one but yourself can comment on what they feel is important to them, they would be wrong in doing so. No one’s opinion is weighted more than yours, the rest of our opinion’s mean squat. As long as you are happy, then the game is perfect, but until then, everyone else needs to stop voicing their opinions and just agree with everything you say.

I couldn't give a **** what you think is more important. The issue in my mind at the moment is the unrealistic "authentic" ESPN broadcast that I'M ALWAYS GOING TO SEE WHEN I PLAY THE GAME.

I would quote how many times you say the game is “unrealistic,” but apparently after all these years, you still haven’t realized you are playing a video game.

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

I'M also a Gophers fan and saw this and it look great.

I hope in the final game, they have the Gophers on the right sideline. in the link to the pics, they have them on the wrong sideline. it no big deal.


Also did anyone notice, in one of the pic, they have Bucky Badgers in it. i was like wtf.

1. Ignore feature
2. This is a public forum, I never said anyone couldn't voice their opinion, I have never said my opinion has more weight, I have never degraded someone else's opinion, once again, ignore feature
3. I have realized I'm playing a video game, a video game that STRIVES to be real. Obviously every year they make more and more of an effort to create something similar to REAL life. Its not my fault they are doing that, so don't blame me when I point out unrealistic things in their game. Blame them for making it realistic.

Hop off my jock man, so what if I'm vocal, its my right to be. I want a good game, unlike everyone who is against complaining who just want the bare bones, they shouldn't be on OS in the first place if they are satisfied with the game.
