Re: NCAA Football 13 Screenshot - Field Degradation
No, college/professional grass is better maintained than "normal" grass. You know that Steelers mud bowl game at Heinz Field you linked to? 6 days later they played a home game on the same field and the field was fantastic. Why? Because the grounds keepers and facilities maintenance guys for NFL and college teams get A LOT of money to make sure the fields are in as good of condition as possible.
If a grass field gets too torn up, NFL and college teams can afford to replace part or all of the field. If the turn-around time is too quick for sod to take, they can do a pretty good job of repairing it and making it look good and play well. Teams with FieldTurf roll and brush the field turf after every game. If a part of FieldTurf were to get damaged, that individual roll can be pulled out and a replacement sewn in.
The reason the Chicago Bears grass is so terrible is because the Chicago Bears do not operate Soldier Field. It belongs to the Chicago Park District who in turn contracts some of the operations out to an independent company. Upside: Bears don't have to pay for it, Downside: The Chicago Park District can't afford it and so they let the grass get as damaged as possible before replacing it.
You're able to cherry pick these "disaster scenario" field situations because they often get the most air time and dramatic pictures, but the fact of the matter is, it happens maybe a few times a year at most all across football.
The basic point, the next game would have been better even if they hadnt re-sodded the field.
Plus, like I said, the grass will still get torn out over the course of a game even if it is better or new
I guess you have me with Soldier Field.
And I'll make this comment again, sure, it happens maybe a few times a year. But how many rainy games do we see a year?Last edited by Ky3217; 06-30-2012, 12:21 AM.TOUCHDOWN MSU!!!

Re: NCAA Football 13 Screenshot - Field Degradation
Ok, quick couple of questions. Was the next week's game played in the rain? And ignore the maintnaince for one second, which is more slippery? Dirt or Mud?

You see dirty uniforms, for sure, but not filthy/muddy uniforms.
Nothing close to what you posted.

Fair enough.
But as I said, I only posted them because the required minimal effort to use. They were just an example of what bad weather can do to football uniforms. Nothing more lol.
I still think the degradation in the original screenshot isnt enough however. Needs a tad moreTOUCHDOWN MSU!!!

Re: NCAA Football 13 Screenshot - Field Degradation
Extreme mud is a rarity in football. Does it happen, obviously yes your pictures show that. But I'm glad it isn't in the game, with how EA does things it would get like that every game. Subtly has never been their strong point, when they implement stuff they take it to 11.Comment

To answer the question that should've been asked, yes, college and pro fields are much better kept than high school fields.Favorite Teams:
College #1: Michigan Wolverines
College #2: Michigan State Spartans (my alma mater)
College #3: North Carolina Tar Heels
NHL: Detroit Redwings

Re: NCAA Football 13 Screenshot - Field Degradation
It's amazing that wasn't even played in the rain I believe.
The issue is that uniforms don't get dirty/scuffed at all on artificial surfaces, only natural grass.Comment
