I think the game may have taken a step back in graphics and I think it's mainly because of the lighting. I didn't realize the Colts stadium could be opened. I thought it was a closed dome. I played a game there with it open and it was ugly as sin. The lighting and shadows were bad. I also took the Dolphins into Ford Field and lost 35-20. I was happy to see Stafford throw the ball around. Both CJ and Pettigrew were big against me. But the lighting just doesn't look that good. The Dolphins pants aren't white for some reason - they are off white or almost grey in the game. Even the Lions blue pants looked bad. It's as though the game doesn't use real lighting so it throws fake shadows on their lower bodies while the upper bodies stay clean and brighter. It doesn't look good for some teams and the Dolphins all-white look is one of them.

There was quite a bit of comments from EA pre-release about having more player momentum and things but I'm not seeing it at all. It may be worse. I caught a crossing pass with Mike Wallace going across the middle and he was going full speed. I instantly stopped on a dime and then went up field. The demo was better in this area and IE imo. It's not game breaking or anything but it should be better than this - much better.
