I thought they had forgot, but there's been so many posted they may be averaging one a week.

Absolutely!

I never really cared much about the Mascots, but them adding all the ones for the small schools really makes it cool.

the UAB mascot looks drunk LOL both in-game and in real life.

[morsdraconis]

the UAB mascot looks drunk LOL both in-game and in real life.

Heh, yeah.

Not sure I like the look of the Louisville one. The feathers on the arms look a little too rounded off.

Other than that, it's really great that they are finally rounding out some of the schools missing their mascots as well as adding some small school ones.

Hope they add Idaho's mascot since I'm going to be playing in an OD with them next season:

Can I just say, I haven't looked at this for the past few days, and I went down every post and laughed harder and harder the last page and a half. I do have a question. Where in the world do the art guys get their renderings of the mascots. For the majority, there are serious flaws in the renditions. I am curious how some of them could be so off, when there is a picture of every mascot you could look up in Div 1. :confused:

I have to give Rocky the Rocket a lot of credit for this year's mascots and moving forward. Historically, mascots are hard to get reference for. So often an artist would ask me if I could get him reference for a mascot he is working on, and I'd spend hours upon hours on google trying to find ANYTHING, and would often come up with out of date pics.

Fortunately, I had a contact at Toledo I had worked with in the past so I gave him a call and asked him if he had some pictures of Rocky to send me for the artists. He said "Sure... go to his Facebook page." Apparently, EVERY MASCOT IN THE NCAA has his own Facebook page! All I have to do is send a friend request and we have reference! I hope Super Frog accepts the request soon, cause he is about 3 years out of date right now in the game!

See my post above. A lot of these mascot models were donated to us by the NCAA Basketball team this year. There was a bit of work to get them to look right in our game as we do our mascots totally different than them, but it was still very helpful. Let me know which ones are wrong and I'll try and get them fixed for next year.

Some mascots have a lot of pics when you do a Google image search, but when I've looked for comparison pics there's some mascots I couldn't find a decent pic for. That has to help though that they have Facebook accounts though.
