Is it just me who thinks the fielder in the background behind the batsman looks like they are floating on the grass from that angle?

At first sight, even I felt the same.
Should be just the camera angle and lightning maybe.

It's just the angle but you are right to some extent. We ground the shoes about a cm below the turf however there are occasions in some frames where the back, front, or side of a shoe at certain angles causes the appearance of floating. It's because the shoes do not compress as they might in real life.

PS: I should add that sometimes I feel I am ruining some of the "magic" when I explain how things work....

Agreed, although he's probably in the process of moving forwards hence why one foot is off the ground when the screenshot was taken.

You'll have to ask Mike, he was the batsman giving the lollipop!

now, now, I do believe that's an Aussie that's popped that one up, I'm the fielding side.

I should have added that because the Cricket Academy bears the name of the licensor and related materials its release will be postponed until the announcement.

In that case you could have blamed the 'lightning'.

Is this something that becomes viable with the next gen, or just something even you thought was too much nitpicking on detail?

 

[SpitfiresKent]

Understood, so that's why you said CA will be getting a 'new name'.

It's not really noticeable in play or moving footage so we probably wont be worrying about it for a while. If anything, I'd probably make grass tech that comes up around the shoes before getting the shoes to compress, that would look cool and hide the problem

Ross, your signature no longer says CA update coming 26 July 6 PM Melbourne time.

Obviously mowing said grass would be part of the career mode right?

Got it.

MattW will you be attending the public play session on behalf of PC?

Even GTA games never had cars touching the ground so I think we can only imagine how difficult it would be to implement for BA.

Is it re-imagiend Lords Stadium in the background?
