Where are all the ADVANCED GRAPHIC SETTINGS??

[alenjenny]

I expect to find a long list of advanced graphic settings which I can toggle (as seen in their official youtube comparison trailer), such as:
1. Texture quality
2. Subsurface scattering
3. Depth of Field
4. Bloom
5. Volumetric Fog
6. Tone Mapping
7. Special effects
8. Model Quality
9. Global Illumination, etc

Yet, I am greeted with some simple settings like AA, motion blur, film grain, ambient occlusion and dynamic shadows. Am I missing something here?

[EDIT] I do agree that the game may not need some of these advanced graphic settings since most modern systems can run it at max setting, but I was hoping for some optional Quality-of-life-improvement graphic settings to allow us for customized experience, such as:
1. FOV slider
2. Different AA (SMAA, TAA, FXAA, MSAA, etc)
3. Super sampling
4. Depth of field (Low, Medium, High)
5. Motion Blur (Low, Medium, High)
6. Anisotropic filtering

i just watch some live gameplay and for me1 there are very few settings for the game.
what a shame :[

From what I've read the game is very well optimized, so it doesn't really need lower graphics settings.

This was just Biowares attempt at rewriting history.

Play THESE new censored games, please.

This game is almost 20 years old

The game isn't even censored.

I'm at 240 fps at 1440p. That all I care about.

The game DOESNT NEED advanced graphic settings

You were screwed. Redeem yourself by refunding this money grab.

It's not like you'll be able to turn anything up even higher if there were graphics settings.

More granularity and control doesn't hurt. I'm not sure why it's worth defending the lack of it. It's not the worst thing in the world to have lacking graphical options, but I don't see how it's a positive thing either.

Never said it was a positive thing, but if the game is as well optimized as I've read, there's not really a reason to lower your graphics settings if there were advanced settings.

There is always room for further optimization. What if someone wants to run it a significantly higher framerate at the cost of some visual fidelity? And it would give breathing room for older hardware. There are a lot of different PC configurations out there.

Again I don't see how it is worth defending less granularity and control.

OLD POST... but in the end... i use the NVIDIA panel and i use the options to control this options from panel and not from game... and solve a "small" amount of my thinking about game graphic. This game, considering it's a few years old, could be exploited a lot more if EA would release the configuration files. I don't understand this, given that the game has already had its time, so... BUT LET USERS FREE TO EXPERIMENT TO IMPROVE IT... TO IMPROVE IT!!!! WTH... this is only reasons... of non sense.
