IGN: NCAA Football 360: First Look

IGN: NCAA Football 360: First Look: "April 20, 2006 - Touchdown Jesus. If you're a Notre Dame fan, the image is awe-inspiring. If you're a gamer and you watch the mural throughout an Irish shootout as the dynamic lighting and time of day change throughout the day and night, that's when you realize where next-generation graphics are headed.

Using satellites (where and when EA got satellites I have no idea and they wouldn't tell me), the crew at EA Sports was able to capture the exact sun position for every stadium, including latitude, longitude, time (including daylight savings time), and temperature differences throughout the year. This translates into the kind of dynamic lighting that gives the game the most photorealistic nature of any sports title I've seen to date. You'll see the sun in its accurate location in the sky for every game, dropping the realistic shadows throughout the stadium. It's the first time playing in January actually feels like playing in January as you watch the cloudy sky turn dark and the rain drench the field as time progresses and you're driving for that game-winner. Even if you're only playing five minute quarters, the lighting and weather will change like it would for a three hour game in South Bend. "
