Early contender for understatement of the year.

Mo is pretty decent at faces in the same way that Ken Griffey Jr. was pretty decent at baseball.

This This This This & more of this! I highly miss the fact I could hit Triangle to see the actual front of the player card, then hit R1 or L1 to flip to the back. I cannot express how much I miss being able to do that.

Steps and slides already appear in the dirt.

I could just see them going overboard and programming moisture content into the dirt so it dries out realistically depending on the time of year and temperature. Also, real time cleat marks and disruptions in the dirts surface would be cool. See I am the exact reason Ramone probably cries at night after those really tough days. "We gave them grass tech, what more could they possibly want??" Then he reads posts like this.... Sent from my iPhone using Operation Sports

Wait we are only getting "real grass tech" and not "real dirt tech" too?

Looks like I will be skipping this year NOT!!!

Yes, but they only appear in predetermined places and shapes.

Uniform detail has also improved, including a slider for sleeve length.

I've been wanting this for years!! I've been upset that the elbow length underneath shirt most times was barely noticeable in that you had to use the 3/4 arm sleeve so this will remedy that.

Thanks, SCEA!!

EDIT: Just thinking...how cool it can be to have legend players with these high sleeves to represent the older days.

I have a feeling...with the amount of detail they've done thus far...that franchise mode will be amazing.

Not a lot can be done about the dirt right now.You know, style guide and all.

But seriously, in the past I have often said the graphics dont interest me as much as the gameplay, but what I've seen the last couple days blows my doors off and maybe I have misjudged how much graphics could further immerse me in my franchise. I am now prepared to never go back to work again after March 28.
