I think they are going a little overboard with the depth-of-field effect. In the bottom left pic, the lines between the foreground (#93) and the background should also be blurred. If something is obstructing your view and you aren’t focusing on it, its outline doesn’t have a hard line.
Yeah, the outline should be soft. They’re probably using a Z-buffer and applying a simple blur pass based on that rather than a bokeh simulation.
you wouldn’t notice it in motion, so it doesn’t really matter. when they added radiosity lighting, that
made the game look a lot better, imo.
Oh my god, yes. The lighting quality is just so much better now.
haha i think we just scared away all the other commenters
Good graphics discussion though. Radiosity should have some cool effects if they accurately light a night game.
I hope NCAA is on par with this, want to play as my GATORS in all the glory!

Probably, haha. You do graphics work too?
Impressive. Impressive indeed.
