Title: New Turf Observo's . . .
Post by: sonofdaxjones on October 31, 2011, 12:31:48 PM

from an HD perspective.

1.  Looks good, several knowledgeable people wonder if Snyder didn't have them put to much infill in . . . again.

2.  Wondering about overall footing, certain cuts almost always end in spin outs . . . are the right shows being worn?  Or is this because AstroTurf GameDay Grass is about as close to real grass as you can get?

3.  Colors are very good, right choice to use white, it really pops in HD.

4.  Endzone of death slide area color difference is not noticeable on TV in game situations.

Grades:

Overall Looks A- (the rubber coming up through the white gives it a -)

Playability TBD ("infill fly out"-real industry term, does not appear to be quite as bad on this product compared to FieldTurf).

I had been wondering about the slips too.  I noticed them less this game, but I was quite pak'd.

Slips were a small problem against Missouri . . . rain.

Agreed, looks good. The summer of EZOD discussions was pointless after all. (Who knew?)

I don't like the purple in the Endzones, but the green looks right.

The white outline on the PowerCat looks much better than just all purple.

It's a shame the white looks so filthy.

when they had the autographs after the open practice it was very unstable for me.  I have terrible ankles and I did not like walking on the field. 

Endzone of death cover up has looked better. 

Wasn't the old power cat outlined in gray?
