First little bit of info from a few days back.  I always like added presentation as long as they do not screw up the gameplay.  I would love to have more cameras this year (even if it is the same ones as Madden).

Shows a new screen with the grass comparison and the video.  One this for sure, the new lighting and 3d grass are awesome.

A few interesting shots, mostly team specific enternaces.

Found this one sexy, actual depth in the snow.

A small thing but something that has been missing for years yet in every PS32 version of the game.

Welcome back blog in which little is revealed.  There was this one comment that stood out.

Finally, with regards to online, the response to NCAA Football 11’s online dynasty mode has been outstanding, so expect some interesting news here in as we get closer to launch.

Custom Playbooks

Custom playbooks are in the game this year, and the interface to tweak your selected plays is really intuitive. Beyond just picking plays, you can even switch the three plays you see on each page of your playbook. So that means while you are in a game, you can flip through your playbook and know what three plays are on each page of that playbook.


Brent's Graphic whore section


Grass, weather and lighting also received love. The grass is now 3-D, and it looks great. However, while it looks awesome to have your feet digging into this surface, it does not mean it will necessarily help foot planting and so forth. I still felt a little floaty when using players, so it's more a cosmetic change than a gameplay change right now.

But the grass kicking up and the overall change of the lighting helps highlight a lot of positives because the shadows and so forth change during the course of a game, which adds a ton to the overall look of the game. The team did not go through and update the entire graphical engine, but the lighting changes make it look like a ton of time was spent updating the game. And while I did not get to see the snow, I was also assured the field would not be completely covered in one thick layer of snow. Now it will look more natural rather than just a white blanket.


Plus a bunch of other stuff, including gameplay improvements when you click the link.
