Really who cares if they wear the proper uniforms or wear face mask. Who cares if every player is the same shade or the same jersey number? As long as game play is great right?

At this point - yes. It's like a beautiful home built on a faulty foundation. The foundation is the game play, dreads are like window dressing in the house.

The quest for graphical excellence is always on-going. Technology assures that. Styles on the field continue this. It's a race you can never win. You can always enhance the graphics and you can never be ahead of the curve.

But a solid engine that actually replicates football is a foundation that can be used generation to generation. It can be designed from scratch to be near perfect and require little maintenance year to year.

It is not a major complaint, but it adds alot of authenticity to the game.
There are a ton of athletes with dreads.

Yes, there are a lot of athletes with certain tattoos or don't wear thigh pads. But it isn't reflected in game.

I think it's a cool feature, I do. But 1 month after you buy the game will you really go "Wow! This game plays like a crap, but look at those dreads!" or "Yeah, I haven't had a good game of online football due to cheesers but I still turn it on time to time to look at dreadlocks."

This guy. Did you change ur tampon today?

Awwww.... how unique, an internet tough guy.

I have 11 for xbox and ps3 and the and play is totally different the 360 seems more arcade-ish and ps3 is more fluent and smooth and you can actually play defense anyone agree? Will 12 be the same?

As someone pointed out the crowd does look more realistic...having more shape.

Few things I noticed

1. There is a small piece of grass flying up. Maybe the field will be more interactive and have real time degradation.

2. Much better field texture and lighting

3. Looks like new momentum animation and new tackler reaching for the tackle while he's falling to the ground (new tackle animation). Maybe finally new reach tackles

4 & 5. Ion helmet with dreads.

6. finally have the real new Schutt helmet correct (notice the gator sticker on the base of the helmet).

Um... about that tackle animation...

Is it just me... or does it have Real-Time Physics written all over it?

I predict that the contented sigh Odogg lets out when he sees this will be heard from coast to coast.

I wish, but I think it's highly unlikely. I don't think they can do anything but canned animations with the games current engine.

lol...true I wish the same for the bowl patch and broadcast camera guys too. Seeing dreads bodes well for them also after what Roy, the exec producer wrote in his last blog.

I have one question---did the Canes steal those uni's from FAMU? They're absolutely hideous.

Straight up bro, they shoulda at least showed damien or travis

As a fellow canes fan, you know damien berry was a senior and graduated, but travis benjamin would have been cool cause he dreads hang long out his helmet.

The screen looks nice....

but the football is STILL far too big. IMHO, it makes everything, even the animations, look a bit unnatural. Every year I hope they fix it and every year I'm disappointed.

i kinda thought so too, because of the feet placement. it doesn't look like its stationary foots on ground at an angle, #6 feet says momentum and change direction too me.
