Nice first look at this years game.

Awesome! Thanks for the info! I'm excited about formation subs coming back.

The refs and formation subs = w1n.

Technical hurdle? More like they just didnt want to bother.

I mean, its the same concept as assigning jersey numbers.

Not necessarily. You might be surprised how counter intuitive some of these programing architectures can be.

I got a little bit more insider info on the tweaks to the graphics engine in this game. It should look noticeably better this year. Those occasional frame rate hiccups should also be gone.

Well I just hope I can get through one game without it locking up. I never got to finish the first season in 2010 version.

What console?

At least BAMA will have numbers on their helmet.

That's an oversight that is 10 years too late, IMO. I remember playing the old 2K series on Sega Dreamcast and I think maybe on the first Playstation too, before EA's version became the only game in town. The gameplay wasn't bad, but numbers were left off helmets completely, and it was aggravating to look at. Big reason why EA has won out is the realism. The old College Gameday versions and 2k versions just couldn't stack up.

Here is a comparison between last years graphics and this years.

Much better specular shading in this years version.

New screenshots! Look who it is!

 

[planomateo]

was wondering when this was gonna get updated, saw this yesterday and shared it with my Texas fan buddy

 

[BamaCore]

I must say, it looks pretty nice.

 

[Nospoweredram]

I really dont play the football games due to them being hard to play but this will go in my collection!

I wonder if the PS3 version will actually utilize the hardware this year. Companies are starting to realize how much horsepower that machine has under the hood and some of the results have been amazing.

Wonder if BDS will be updated & have the end-zone finished?

No. It's being developed around the 360 architecture and then ported to the PS3 just as they did in previous installments. The problem with the PS3 is that it is so difficult to program for.
