I can't keep up with this conference realignment. :p I did that with the MAC, but caught it before posting.So Pitt and USF have joined the Big 12 in place of Nebraska and Colorado?
Ok so all those neutral sites were all there from last year. I just looked at side by side comparisons. Just opened 11 in one window and 10 in another. The stadiums just look so different that I couldn't tell.
The stadiums have been totally rescaled. This was one of my wishlist aesthetic items that I am stoked to have completed. For me the stadiums needed to be less "long" or wide and more tall and compact. Also of course the field and fan color was faded, which made the '10 stadiums look less packed and more flat. With the color being much more vibrant and darkened, and the scaling of the seats and decks, there is a much better feel for a small stadium vs a big one. Also you can see fading and clarity of field logos such as LSU's midfield tiger eye. It's a minor thing, but it's huge for me and my experience. It's not just lighting, work seems to have been done on almost every stadium for scale.
Also this year they have added 3D models of close buildings, concourses, shrubbery and other stadium foreground items that brings the immediate background to life. These have allowed for shading to become much sharper. I am totally in love with the look of each stadium side by side with last year. If I were seeing it for the first time without knowledge of the game pic, I would think these were the real stadiums for sure.
Like I said, this is not a "major" enhancement as far as the game overall is concerned. However it is just another detail that has been addressed in a positive fashion to uphold the experience. It's a really big thing for me personally actually. It had bugged me to no end how lifeless the stadiums have seemed in the past couple games. And even with the crowd not being 3D I am blown away by the positive impact it has made from the view while playing the demo. I think the crowd cutscenes have helped in that regard as well

Also for Miami, removed ACC field art from inside the field.
Idaho. Added hanging stat board from ceiling. Recolored midfield logo from yellow to gold.
I played the E3 build and I know that Southern Miss's stadium was updated. The south side expansion has been added and the scoreboard has been moved to the north endzone (field house side).
Old South Endzone (NCAA '10)
New South Endzone (Actual picture)
New North Endzone (NCAA '11)
Too bad Seymour (our mascot) didn't make it. We also have a generic entrance in the game even though in real life, we come out of an inflatable helmet (a la Miami) with smoke and pyrotechnics.

Good to see that the skyboxes were updated for Nebraska. I am itching to see their entrance and am hoping EA added a stadium sound to customize the entrance music, to add Sirius to the Tunnel Walk...
its seems like I have seen Alabama's Bryant Denny Stadium has the completed expansion in the game, but could be wrong.
Awesome to see another Cougar fan on the boards. I was bugging Adam (one of the developers) last year a lot about adding the Martin Stadium renovations. I gave him the link to the Martin Stadium renovation website, which is pretty in depth so Im glad to see it helped.
Sidenote: Our silver cougar logo helmet is in the game this year
Well Arkansas' is still wrong again this year. I don't know how detailed they get but they did finally get the glass on the front of the Broyles Complex in the game so I will give them some props. However, it is no longer plain glass anymore. Starting last year the glass now looks like this:
I would love to see them get that in the game. That might be a little to detailed for them.
