Creating and then keeping current over 150 stadiums is a monumental task. The latest posting on the Inside EA Blog details the alterations made to the stadiums and the new ones that have been added for NCAA Football 10. Included are comparison screens and some fly-over videos. You can check it all out here.
To fans of the teams in question this posting is certainly significant. The authenticity of stadiums is a big thing to fans and it’s good to see the NCAA team detailing out the work they’ve done in that area.

Nice, still wish spectator mode in online dynasty was an option
April 17, 2009 at 5:18 pm
pasta do you know if there will be team entrances this year? Please can you give a hint or something? This is needed.
April 17, 2009 at 5:19 pm
Pasta are you looking more forward to madden or colle footbll this year?
April 17, 2009 at 6:29 pm
At this point I'm much more excited for Madden. But I know I'll get hooked on Online Dynasty again.
April 17, 2009 at 7:04 pm
Pasta still no clue about online franchise for Madden?
April 17, 2009 at 5:26 pm
very nice pasta
April 17, 2009 at 5:27 pm
well i notice the jumbotrons finally show live field video! finally it made it to next-gen!
hopefully that also is in madden 10!
April 17, 2009 at 5:42 pm
I noticed the same thing too.
April 17, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Any word on progressive lighting yet?
April 17, 2009 at 5:59 pm
NCAA is going to suck this year. Nothing but graphical improvements and other fluffy crap. No real gameplay changes to speak of. Madden 09.5 is all NCAA is.
April 17, 2009 at 6:04 pm
yea but see us non-NFL fans and avid college fans will enjoy it nonetheless
April 17, 2009 at 6:17 pm
Then don't buy it….
April 18, 2009 at 5:02 am
How original Skihawks. Did you think of that response all by yourself or did your mom help you? idiots ran rampant on this site.
April 19, 2009 at 6:27 pm
He was just saying if you think it sucks don't buy it. Isn't that what you would do if you thought a game sucked? Eric isn't going to convince me not to get NCAA 10. I love NCAA more than Madden.
April 17, 2009 at 6:04 pm
I love the yellow soccer lines in UB's stadium!
April 17, 2009 at 6:08 pm
LoL helping EA overhype this game Pasta. Madden is making great improvements with the community this year while the only news on NCAA is about weak stuff like post nets, goal post socks, bleachers, Erin Andrews(adding a hot broadcaster won't help), and tipped passes. What a true dissapointment this years installment of NCAA Football is going to be. I laugh that you can support this. But dont worry guys they have switch conferences for online and offline dynasties. You can sway recruits away from rival schools. RECRUITING WAS A JOKE THIS WILL MAKE IT ONLY EASIER. But NCAA WILL BE VOTED THE BEST GAME THIS YEAR BECAUSE IT IS MADE BY EA AND HAS ONLINE DYNASTY. ALSO IF I AM CORRECT NCAA 09 HAD GLITCHES WHEN IT 1ST CAME OUT THAT MADE IT TERRIBLE AND IT HAD ROBO QB. #1 GAME OF THE YEAR REALLY.
April 17, 2009 at 6:11 pm
All these stadium visual improvements don't amount to a hill of beans if the players still run up and down the field like they've got a broom handle shoved up their ars. It's just another example of how useless fluff is treated over important gameplay and feature improvements.
April 17, 2009 at 9:28 pm
a broom handle? really…..do you speak from experience??
April 17, 2009 at 6:13 pm
I love that we now have a new pressbox at Illinois and all they chose to showcase was the scoreboard we have in the other endzone. I hope that doesn't mean they didn't upgrade our press box.
April 17, 2009 at 8:31 pm
Actually they did. If you look at the picture on the scoreboard, you can see the new press box's off to the right.
April 17, 2009 at 8:32 pm
Actually they did. If you look at the picture on the scoreboard, you can see the new press boxes off to the right. I bet they were waiting for those to get built before updating it so they could move the scoreboard and add the press boxes all at once.
April 17, 2009 at 6:16 pm
Excellent job. The MAC schools look awesome with Central Michigan's stadium which sits underground and Bowling Green. In Bowling Green's stadium, you can see a water tower off in the distance which is an excellent touch because this water tower exists. You can see the stadium and water tower from I-75…..
I am wondering if Michigan Stadium, which is under renovation, will be updated as well….
April 17, 2009 at 6:29 pm
Beautiful!
April 17, 2009 at 6:30 pm
FYI I'll be checking out NCAA and Madden in person next Thursday.
April 17, 2009 at 6:31 pm
FYI I'll be checking out NCAA and Madden in person next Thursday. I'll have a post up before then about what to expect out of it, and I'll have a lot of coverage around that and through Twitter.
April 17, 2009 at 6:53 pm
that is great. Question is do you have an idea of what you will see when you go on Thursday Pasta? It looks like EA is making great moves this year with getting the community's opinion allowing the madden kids to play it and let you and others see it on Thursday. It shows EA cares about what we think. Hopefully the news out of the event will be great. I will be checking Thursday night after work to see if it is posted. Im excited about Madden and NCAA
April 17, 2009 at 6:39 pm
Pasta I heard that madden's first gameplay video will be out next week. Is that true?
And will there be any updates on madden this week?
April 17, 2009 at 8:49 pm
Going to be a Madden vid on Thursday the 23rd.
April 17, 2009 at 6:57 pm
Instead of perfecting sidewalls of stadiums that are nearly perfect already, how about putting Minnesota's brand new TCF Bank Stadium in the game? I don't care if it's not complete yet. Do it off an artist's rendering and update it again in the future. I will boycott this game because they took time to build great renditions of the TROY and U of BUFFALO stadiums instead of actually doing something worthwhile. What a joke!
April 17, 2009 at 7:17 pm
I'm speculating here…but isn't it a bit of a stretch (and not to mention inauthentic) to expect them to put Minnesota in a stadium that doesn't currently exist to host games???
April 17, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Tim who are you kidding you will be first in line to buy the game!
April 17, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Not sure yet, I'll update when I know more.
April 17, 2009 at 7:05 pm
So you another dumbass believing the Madden hype eh?!?!?
April 17, 2009 at 7:07 pm
There will be a video late that Thursday night, not sure the content of it.
April 17, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Pasta man keep it real with those developers when you play the game. Don't go in there kissing ass!!1 And make them add Online!!!
April 17, 2009 at 8:02 pm
This isn't something where I'm going to have a ton of hands-on time, but hopefully I'll get enough exposure to them to make some suggestions.
April 17, 2009 at 11:17 pm
Does this mean that they finished it or just that they want you to see how it's moving along? Either way I'm sure it will be interesting.
April 17, 2009 at 11:17 pm
Does this mean that they finished it or just that they want you to see how it's moving along? Either way I'm sure it will be awesome.
April 17, 2009 at 7:11 pm
I hope the player models look as beautiful as the stadiums do. Pasta any word on player models???
April 17, 2009 at 7:49 pm
love how these games–particuarly ea sports ones, show you how you should go get the new version by showing you how shitty the last one looked
April 17, 2009 at 8:05 pm
I agree, after hearing how Madden really worked hard to fix their player models to be more realistic, I hope NCAA does the same.
April 17, 2009 at 8:57 pm
*cough* michigan stadium *cough*
April 17, 2009 at 9:36 pm
nice addition… now all they need is to add all the jersey combos
April 17, 2009 at 10:04 pm
I know I said I wouldn't come back but Pasta but I have to put you in you place. As far as finding a truly unbiased review of MLB 2K9 here you go.
http://www.rotorob.com/2009/03/17/mlb-2k9-review/
This is one of the many good reviews I have found that were not flunkies of EA or the makers of The Show
April 20, 2009 at 2:43 am
do you actually OWN MLB 2K9? because if you do, then there's no way you can say that game deserves a 4/5, 4/10 yes…but DEFINITELY NOT a 4/5. You can't even tag up on the game. I was playing today and my guy was rounding 2nd (ball was at the wall) and he just stopped and turned around inexplicably and then tried to get to 3rd and was thrown out. I didn't even have the controller in my hands, it did it all by itself.
this is the worst sports video game I have ever played in my life and it's not even close
April 17, 2009 at 10:33 pm
LSU just got a big new jumbotron, i hope they up dated it int he game
April 17, 2009 at 10:44 pm
PASTA! supposedly erin andrews leaked the coverboys for the game
In a video posted on the game's Web site today, Andrews posits that Percy Harvin (from her alma mater, Florida), Texas Tech's Michael Crabtree and possible future Detroit Lion Matthew Stafford will be among those to grace the cover.
April 18, 2009 at 7:43 am
yeaaaah glad to see the new duck vision
April 18, 2009 at 2:21 pm
roll tide roll
April 20, 2009 at 10:50 pm
It's really unbelievable that Northwestern, a Big 10 school, still gets a generic stadium. That's ridiculously inexcusable.
