Erin Andrews Joins NCAA Football 10
by 
The news for NCAA Football 10 has been somewhat lackluster but that feeling may change after the announcement today that Erin Andrews will be included in the game as a sideline reporter. She already appears as the third member of the announcing team in the NCAA Basketball series.
Erin Andrews is the newest addition to the NCAA Football 10 broadcast team, joining Kirk Herbstreit, Brad Nessler and Lee Corso in a game that envelopes the excitement and pageantry of college football at its best. Including Andrews as part of the NCAA Football 10 broadcast team complements the franchise commitment to offer the most authentic college football experience available on any gaming platform. Andrews has served as a sideline reporter for ESPN’s College Football Saturdays since 2004.
It is also mentioned that Andrews will be a part of an as-of-yet unannounced mode in the game. There is a good chance that is the Teambuilder mode that was noticed on the main menu screen. That could be a sign there is more to it than just being a new name for Create-a-School as previously speculated.

Hot coffee mode plz
April 15, 2009 at 4:36 pm
-lol!!!
April 15, 2009 at 4:35 pm
I just "jizzed in my pants"………
April 15, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Sounds like adding Andrews' voice is a way to somewhat break up the monotony of hearing the exact same comments from Herbstreit, Nessler, and Corso for the umpteenth year.
Why not just have Andrews on the cover of NCAA this year? Then all that empty hype EA drums up over its cover athlete might actually be justified for a change.
April 15, 2009 at 4:39 pm
YES I LOVE ERIN
April 15, 2009 at 4:40 pm
If she was on the cover we'd also get menu screens of her. Good idea
April 15, 2009 at 4:54 pm
Thats cool. Might we see a move towards better ESPN type presentation?
April 15, 2009 at 8:59 pm
**crosses fingers** Here's to hoping that does actually happens. I've been preaching we need an upgrade to the presentation forever and maybe this is ti but then again it could just be a smoke screen.
April 16, 2009 at 1:50 am
I have to admit, the NCAA Basketball Erin wasn't all that great. Nonetheless, it's still an improvement.
April 15, 2009 at 4:57 pm
she makes the presentation alot better just by her face being on the screen…..
April 15, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Where getting closer to release and there talking about Erin Andrews wow what about gameplay i think i might be waiting for madden this year college hasnt impress me yet
April 16, 2009 at 4:32 am
college is better than madden gameplay wise you can pull off so many catches that I have yet to even see in madden plus its faster than madden too
April 16, 2009 at 8:19 am
i totally agree it does feel better then madden
April 15, 2009 at 5:00 pm
Hmmm..so EA adds a picture of Erin Andrews that appears on a static overlay graphic when something happens, along with adding some comments by her, and we are supposed to be excited?
I remember when I bought my Xbox 360 I was thinking we'd get all these great pre game and halftime cgi sequences, and presentation that would knock my socks off.
Instead we get this……yay!
April 15, 2009 at 8:51 pm
Exactly! With all this technology I want to see Erin standing on the sidelines interviewing players & coaches! All we get is her picture with her voice? This whole "Next Gen" experiment is starting to look like a waste. I mean this is 2009 & this is the best EA can do with presentation? 2K5 had far better presentation & that was on a Last Gen system. We should have TV style presentation.
April 15, 2009 at 9:00 pm
That'll never happen, but I wish it was possible. If EA can't incorporate Refs, Chain Gang, or FG nets don't think we'll be seeing Erin interview no one for a while.
April 15, 2009 at 9:22 pm
I was saying the same about Madden. A couple days ago someone posted a link to youtube showing 2K5/2K8 football and boy does it MURDER Madden/NCAA. I went up and picked up AP2K8 AGAIN for $6 and I am totally enjoying it except for repeatedly press the speed button and powering up moves…other than that, the game offers awesome presentation and animations abound. I want EA to succeed but at the current rate we'll all just have to wait to see what this year's iterations offer.
April 15, 2009 at 9:51 pm
AMEN!!! EA CONTINUES TO ADD STUFF THAT ONLY THEY CARE ABOUT . WOW A PRETTY FACE AND A FEW COMMITS THAT WON'T ADD ANYTHING TO THE GAMEPLAY 7.0 IS MY PREDICTION FOR THIS GAME
April 15, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Nothing about improved gameplay. Just an announcement about a static pic of Erin Andrews and some voice work, and you guys are going ape shit over it.
This is why EA will continue to produce shitty games year after year. Because you guys let them by buying this shit.
April 15, 2009 at 5:27 pm
presentation please can we have it now
April 15, 2009 at 5:39 pm
Worst new feature announcement ever.
Really disappointing that they are spending time on this when that time could certainly be used more effectively.
April 15, 2009 at 6:09 pm
I am not that pumped about this new element. I have yet to see a sideline reporter used properly in any sports game. They usually have generic lines that add little to the immersion. Erin Andrews was utilized in the same manner in NCAA Basketball and there was very little value added.
If she is implemented in the right way adding meaningful game-specific, player-specific comments that match the action, or historical information, this feature could be a big bonus….
Although, she is a hotty who likes football…Gotta love that.
April 15, 2009 at 6:10 pm
THIRD..
April 15, 2009 at 6:38 pm
4TH! She's dreamy…..
April 15, 2009 at 6:41 pm
Did anyone else notice the screen shows we arent getting injury status right away? Erin Andrews is reporting on the LSU RB's injury when Florida has the ball.

April 15, 2009 at 9:26 pm
Yea and notice the same sorry ass injury screen. I want them to go back in the early Madden days when an Ambulance came on the field and took off seriously injured players. Why can't we have our cake and eat it too I want improved gameplay as well as updated presentation.
April 15, 2009 at 6:48 pm
^^^ Yep, and that's exactly what you want because that's what happens on TV all the time.
April 16, 2009 at 2:25 am
I agree with Jim
April 15, 2009 at 8:13 pm
Pasta lets just be thankful that ncaa football is no where near ncaa basketball that andrews is in! lol
April 15, 2009 at 8:15 pm
yea thats what happens in real life
April 15, 2009 at 8:28 pm
Not too big of a deal to me.
On a side note if that is an NCAA '10 screenshot they need to tone down the bulkiness of some of the players. Riley Cooper (#11) looks like he is on steroids. From what I've heard on Madden they have significantly tuned the players to look realistic and I was hoping for the same from NCAA but this doesn't look promising. He looks like a LB and I almost didn't even know who he was supposed to be.
April 15, 2009 at 12:40 pm
Are those final preseason rankings?
Florida 5 and LSU 6? If so, thats ridiculous! Florida is a top 3 team and LSU isnt a top 10 maybe not even top 15!
April 15, 2009 at 8:56 pm
Calm down, its pretty obvious that they are using last years rankings in the picture. Also, LSU will be a top 10 team; they have found a qb in jordan jefferson and the defense will be improved thanks to Chavis and the rest of the new staff.
April 15, 2009 at 8:49 pm
the fact that anybody can complain about a beautiful woman is beyond me…seriously people, she's hot and it's APRIL for cryin' out loud. Let's rejoice about the eye candy and be patient.
April 15, 2009 at 8:58 pm
pretty hot
April 15, 2009 at 9:18 pm
the worst part of football, the obligatory female personality. this should have been the last thing added, and only after NCAA football recieved perfect 10's for at least 5 to 6 years for its gameplay, total customization, and immersive experience.
April 15, 2009 at 9:35 pm
for everybody whines about this or that with the games…let me ask you this, did you purchase MLB 2K9??? Because I did, and what I learned was development teams that try to do too much too soon screw up the whole game. I'll take EA Sports leaving me wanting more every year than making me wish I had never wasted $60 on a piece of junk.
I ask you…is the game SOOO bad that you wish you'd never spent your money? If so, then don't buy it ever again and stop whining. If not, then be patient until they "get it right" instead of wanting what we had in '04 and screwing up the whole game.
MLB 2K9 has changed my WHOLE opinion on video games.
April 15, 2009 at 9:47 pm
yea i still cant believe people would buy the game. I guess you are forced into it though if you dont have a PS3.
April 16, 2009 at 4:11 pm
Play MLB 09 The Show and then say that noone should complain about ncaa football 10. You are a moron for buying MLB 2k9 anyways so its your faul noone elses so please be quiet. Thanks.
April 15, 2009 at 9:56 pm
WOW THIS IS VERY SCARY FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAMERS, THAT THIS IS EVEN AN UPDATE I'M NOT EVEN SHOCKED HEY ITS EA !! NEXT GENERATION GAMING REALLY!!!
April 15, 2009 at 10:25 pm
I think she's highly overrated
April 15, 2009 at 10:31 pm
YES!! now i can jack while scorin a td
April 15, 2009 at 10:55 pm
u r going to jack off to erin andrews half body or generic person good for u
April 15, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Why college football always get the bad end of the deal when it come to madden no refs,hand towels,chain ging,no team entrances i'm tired of ea bs.
April 17, 2009 at 6:59 pm
A couple of days ago I was playing NCAA 07 and it had no refs, no hand towels, no chain gang, and no team entrances, and it was the most entertaining hour had in a long time. When you’re really into it, you don't notice the small stuff. All you care about is what you can use in the game to get to the end zone. I do want some of that stuff in the game, but it is what it is. As long they make a competitive fun game, I'm happy.
April 15, 2009 at 11:52 pm
She better have more than 3 lines like in NCAA basketball 09 or this will get old real fast.
April 16, 2009 at 3:13 pm
I agree, lol. It takes years to build up video game commentary however. Take NBA Live, Marv Albert and Steve Kerr have been doing this for 5 years now. They refuse to let go of Steve Kerr because they would lose so much commentary.
April 16, 2009 at 1:17 am
this sucks camel dick!!! Put something good in the game EA. Yea Erin's hottt but come on.
April 16, 2009 at 1:49 am
5th. I'm pretty sure this list could go on forever.
April 16, 2009 at 8:18 am
PUT HER ON THE COVER ILL DEFINLEY BUY IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 16, 2009 at 2:01 am
Ya She is hot and all but cmon man who cares this is a dumb new update.
April 16, 2009 at 8:21 am
SHE HOT BUT I WANT GAMEPLAY AND IT BETTER BE BETTER THEN LAST YEAR R WERE NCAA FAN R GOIN ON STRIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 16, 2009 at 12:52 pm
2k baseball has sucked for a while now, are you really shocked that 09 was any better.
April 16, 2009 at 12:54 pm
Yo Pasta should we be concerned about EA's minimal updates on Ncca 10? Nothing worth of value has really come out and that games is due out before Madden.
April 16, 2009 at 12:55 pm
Yo Pasta should we be concerned about EA's minimal updates on Ncaa 10? Nothing worth of value has really come out and that games is due out before Madden.
April 16, 2009 at 1:15 pm
You get Erin Andrews. What more do you want?!
It's in the game!
April 16, 2009 at 2:09 pm
What can i really do with Andrews on a Video game? They was better off not even announcing this and let it be a small suprise when it come out.
April 16, 2009 at 3:09 pm
People are critical about games to make them better. Take Madden 2010 for example, they've solicited feedback from real gamers, they've had community days, blogs etc. I agree that sometimes people are nitpicking and over analyzing, but overrall I think it's a positive, and when you see an end product that has incorporated some of our feedback, then we feel justified in our criticism.
April 16, 2009 at 8:33 pm
No, I agree that we have a positive impact. I just get sick of people whining just to hear themselves whine. Eventually we'll get all the features and then after that if they don't overwhelm us then I say it's time to start complaining.
again, seeing how bad a game can be when due diligence isn't observed has changed my level of patience.
April 16, 2009 at 3:10 pm
I think this is a good addition to help mitigate some of the staleness behind the commentary. Good add.
April 16, 2009 at 4:25 pm
to stop the staleness they should add more phrases to the commenting. what is andrews really gonna be doing other than announcing some injuries. also from the looks of it. they have toned down the injuries. my players was always injured for weeks at a time!
April 16, 2009 at 3:14 pm
It's a good addition, I'm not saying it's what's going to make or break a game. NCAA news starts picking up around this time.
April 16, 2009 at 7:17 pm
She's hot. Just more window dressing by EA. She's still hot, though.
April 16, 2009 at 8:02 pm
we are buying a game to play it not look at some video game image of a beautiful girl!!
April 16, 2009 at 8:32 pm
actually sir, I'm buying a PS3 so I don't have to worry about MLB 2K9 anymore. It's definitely not MY FAULT that because I own an Xbox 360 and wanted a baseball game, so yes I bought it. I had no issues with the game in the past (other than my Xbox freezing).
April 16, 2009 at 8:43 pm
no but seriously, i have jacked major pudding to her before
April 17, 2009 at 2:35 am
Ok man we get it. Enough of your comments.
April 18, 2009 at 6:45 am
shut the fuck up bitch. ill jack so much pudding in ur momma shell start soundin like bill cosby
April 17, 2009 at 4:08 pm
I'd hit it
April 18, 2009 at 6:46 am
looks like ^Antoine^ has some baby nuts
April 25, 2009 at 11:08 am
I made the mistake of buying NCAA football two years in a row for my 360. 08 and 09 are the same! Actually, since I could care less about online play, I think the player animation, especially when chugging downfield, got worse! I miss the days when EA actually gave a rat's ass about making a game worth buying. This is not $60 worth of improvements. It's sad that these current gen systems will never have the same quality football games that the older gen systems had. Why are they going backwards? Where's the FCS teams? MAYBE for the next XBOX or the PS4, they'll make a college game that only includes the BCS conferences!
I will not be purchasing NCAA this year. I may not even buy Madden, even though my Steelers will be on the cover. $60 is too much money for just a cover and a roster tweak. Save your money, have some patience, and buy them used if you have to a year or so from now.
