NCAA Football 08 highlight clip contest
July 17, 2007 by pastapadre
Grab the most impressive/exciting/unique play you can and submit it for this highlight clip contest!
Using the new video highlight feature in NCAA Football 08 on the 360 and PS3 people are able to upload clips from their games to the EA Sports World website for everyone to check out.
There are two options for submitting your highlight to qualify for this contest. Both involve sending me the info via my contact page.
The first way to do it is to send me the direct link to your video page on the EA Sports World site. If you do this you must send me the correct URL, as well as details on what clip it is. I would need more than saying “the 2nd one”. Specify the two teams, the score, the quarter, ect. Also a brief recap of what happens in it so I know I’m grabbing the right one.
The other option is showing it off via Brightcove. Because the clips are deleted off EA Sports World when new ones are added, and since there are no direct links to individual clips, this is a good way to do it. In order to set up your video clip, you must first upload it to the EA Sports World website from the game. From there you can download it to your computer. If you rename it you need to make sure that it ends in .flv -Then you upload it to your Brightcove account (which is free to set up). From there you’ll be able to grab the direct link and use the contact form to send that to me.
From all the entries sent to me I will be selecting what I feel to be the five best. From there it will be opened up to everyone to watch those five and vote on their favorite to determine the winner.
The deadline for submitting videos will be Sunday night 7/22 at 8pm PT. Voting will begin on Monday the 23rd and will run through Wednesday night the 25th at 11pm PT. Only one entry per person will be accepted. Please make sure that the email address entered in to the contact form is valid as I will need to contact the winner to get the information needed for shipping the prize out.
The winner will receive their choice of Def Jam Icon for the Xbox 360 or NBA Street Homecourt for the PS3. Good luck and I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone sends in!
By the way, how do you upload pics and vids from your 360 into EA Sports World?
Go to the EA Sports highlights section. There you’ll have a list of games that you’ve saved pics/vids from. Use the LB/RB to move between Play Now, Online, Dynasty, and Campus Legend. Then when you find the game you want, click on it, and you’ll see the screens you saved. Hit the RB to find the videos. When you click on them it’ll ask if you want to upload them to the easportsworld site.
Is there only one winner, or one from each platform?
I think it’ll be just one winner. I have plans for other contests coming up soon.
I’m still having problems with it.
Every time I try to make an account, it says “No_Persona”.
I registered the game and everything. Please Help!
Did you log in through the game to the online area and accept the terms and conditions and all that?
Alright, can I get a walk through of some sort on how to make an account and set up everything. I have it for PS3.
Also, how do you delete and EA account.
Wish I could help you on that. With the 360 everything is tied into the gamertag so never had to go in and try to do anything like that.
This is making me so mad!
I just made an account, put my PS3 tag into there, but it says its a 360 tag or something. I need to delete this account because I don’t want to mess anything up. Man! lol
Good idea! I am definitely down for this. Are the prizes new/used? Thanks for the contest, looking forward to seeing some great clips.
Mad Cow I am having the same problem. It was letting me upload videos fine, but I couldnt log in. So I deleted my account and reactivated it, but now Im shown as Xbox360 when Im on PS3
How did you delete your account?
I’m guessing there is a limit of 1 entry per person. Is this correct?
Yeah TB, one per person.
