Two new NCAA Football 09 screenshots

When the first screens from NCAA Football 09 were released they were met with a level of disappointment. I expressed that when I questioned whether they were really from 09. EA Sports has now released two brand new screens that are intended to showcase the player models.

NCAA Football 09 Art Director Jason Renfroe shares some details on what his team has done to improve the in game visuals and some of what you’ll see in future screens of NCAA Football 09.

On player models:

“We’ve done a lot of work this year to improve the player models. They have a much more dynamic body shape. A key example here is what we’ve done with our linemen. In years past all of the linemen were big, fat guys. This year we have added lineman body types that are much more athletic. This really helps make the players look more authentic. We also added extra padding to accentuate the players’ form and see the pads and their movement.”

On improved lighting:

“In the past we had one lighting model. This year we have two. One model is for environments and one is for players. This does a lot to help the way players look better when they are in the shadows.

We also added a subtle rim light around the players so they pop more on screen. To improve the look of the stadiums, we’ve saturated our crowds and really brought in a lot of color to better bring out the college atmosphere. Our skies and field art are new as well.”

You can check out the full images below by clicking the thumbnails. Needless to say these look significantly better than the initial McFadden screens.

As a matter of proof, tell me that you can see a huge difference in any of these player models, other than the sleeves on the 07 version.

I have no idea if you can actually see this pic or not.

I think the player models look better and can’t wait to see them in motion.

The one thing I like is that EA is informing gamers of what is coming out, unlike 2K which withheld info on MLB 2K8.

I have a feeling we will know plenty about NCAA before its release and if people don’t like what is offered, don’t purchase it. At least you will be well informed…..

I hope they also address the stiff arm defect. Yea I agree the players were entirely too big at times an the limited faces to choose from while building a player. I hope just by judging from the early models that they rectify a lot of these issues as well as a host of others

I know its an early build , but i want them to rectify an clean up some of the issues from thr last two games. Add nets, cheerleaders, players on the sideline. Just make it like it was on the last-gen system

Me and my boy’s hav’nt been this excited about the EA Sports NCAA College football game for years. It appears that you guy’s may finally get this thing right. The 09′ player models look great! It should be pointed out that the side view camera option of the field would be a nice return to the game; it was my favorite angle; made the game appear more real to what you would actually view when watching a game on Tv. I’ve heard that the cheerleaders will be on the sidelines cheering again as well. It would be great to see the sidelines really populated with more game spectators that actually appears to get excited about what is happening on the field. Referee’s would be a nice addtion as well. In any case I’m looking forward to the 09′ college football game. DKP
