Michael Crabtree 360 Cover and Teambuilder News
by 
This morning EA Sports announced the final cover athlete for NCAA Football 10 as Texas Tech WR Michael Crabtree. He will be on the cover of the Xbox 360 version and joins Brian Orakpo (PS2), Mark Sanchez (PSP), and Brian Johnson (PS3).
Also there is now additional information on the Teambuilder mode that had been speculated upon. As expected it is deeper than just simple create-a-school.
NCAA Football 10 introduces TeamBuilder, an all-new, online create-a-school feature that will enhance the user’s ability to produce personalized content. With the capability to upload logos and numerous customization options for uniforms, fields, rosters, and much more, TeamBuilder gives users the opportunity to design completely original teams with infinite possibilities. Plus, preloaded logos for several Football Championship Subdivision schools will help users create authentic teams for NCAA Football 10. With its intuitively designed online database that is searchable across several fields, TeamBuilder allows users to share content with ease. A football fan’s dream, TeamBuilder will enable users to experience the excitement and pageantry of college football, defined by their own personalized creations.
This is something I’ll attempt to get more information on today. Create-a-school was desired by many and it sounds like they’ve taken it a step further than anyone expected by adding the online sharing aspect. Keep an eye on and follow my Twitter throughout the day.

Team builder is going to be off the chain this year.
April 23, 2009 at 7:28 pm
Yeah sounds very intrigueing sorry i cant spell
April 23, 2009 at 2:24 pm
I can finally get my school back in the game… Go SEMO…
April 23, 2009 at 5:37 pm
YES!!!! SEMO BABY!! Its fun to make them not suck on the game lol

360 gets Crabtree and Brian Johnson on the cover. And PS3 gets ? PS3 owners get screwed again.
April 25, 2009 at 1:46 am
I have a PS3 and I couldn't care less who is on the cover. The cover athlete means squat. PS3 plays almost the exact as the 360 version so as long as I get a superb game I wouldn't care if I didn't get a cover athlete
April 26, 2009 at 11:03 pm
dude the ps3 gets the utah qb. he is legit. he went up against the toughest defense in the nation (alabama) and scored 3 touchdowns in 7 min. so dont complain bro. he is legit.
April 23, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Now only if EWA decides to ditch the useless feature known as Campus Legend and focus on the Dyansty mode maybe then we'll have a perfect game to play as well as al the presentation stuff a lot of us want in the game to make it feel like a real College game.
April 23, 2009 at 2:58 pm
EA sorry about that hehe
April 23, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Pasta you have to change the Brian Johnson cover error to PS3!
April 23, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Isn't Johnson on the PS3 cover?
April 23, 2009 at 3:19 pm
WTF, i want orakpo on the cover of the 360 one!
Craptree is going to be a bust
April 23, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Maybe Orakpo should have done something against Texas Tech then…
April 30, 2009 at 4:47 am
youre a dunce
April 23, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Also wow at the team builder mode, that sounds like a great new mode if it all works well
April 23, 2009 at 3:34 pm
PASTA are you doing everything to ensure that we get a good Madden product? I told you that you may have to pull out all of the tricks even selling some cheeks to get it done! Do whaever it takes Pasta, it's time to step up buddy.
Also thanks for upgrading your sponsor's because that BS boxing game had no business being promoted.
Keep it up Pasta cause I'm really close to taking you off of my S-List
April 23, 2009 at 3:47 pm
I guess Mo don't know Diddley. LOL j/k dude
April 23, 2009 at 9:48 pm
LOL at Mo talking to himself. pasta has better thing to do then talk to a peasant.
April 23, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Tebow will be on the 360 cover next year
April 23, 2009 at 3:52 pm
GEAUX TIGERS!!!
April 23, 2009 at 3:57 pm
BULLDAWGS all the way. UGA

"With the capability to upload logos and numerous customization options for uniforms, fields, rosters, and much more"
If its as numerous and customizable as I'm thinking it is then it's an automatic purchase… I just wish they could give us the option to customize original teams jerseys combos because there's always a truckload of jersey combos missing.
April 23, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Wait, so can we use create a team in online dynasty or not?
April 23, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Yes you can. http://www.operationsports.com/forums/ncaa-footba...

PP, do you think that Jacksonville's new helmet style will be in Madden this year? It changes from black-to-teal-to-black when it hits light at the right angle. "Chromatic paint" or something…….new uni's too.
April 23, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Im hoping they get that chromatic paint helmet in there… did you see the preview of it on NFL.com, it looks sick. I think some other teams should adopt the chromatic helmet look (would love to see the Bills helmet in that style). Knowing maddens track record though they'll say "it's on our list we just couldn't get to it this year."
April 23, 2009 at 6:55 pm
Right on brotha! Tony G to Atlanta……..Pettitgrew @ 28 now????????
April 23, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Remember to D/L the UFC Undisputed demo today fellers!!!!
April 23, 2009 at 5:21 pm
360 has the best cover guys.
April 23, 2009 at 11:10 pm
you must be on that pipe. go play your mlb 2k9
April 23, 2009 at 11:57 pm
the only cover that contend with the 360 is the PSP cover markie mark is doing his thang.
Go play your PS3 noob.
April 23, 2009 at 5:33 pm
Do you know how the teambuilder will work when doing an online dynasty? Will everyone be able to create a team?
April 23, 2009 at 5:49 pm
Uploading your own logos is big for a console. I remember making my own uniforms back on the PC version of NHL 2001 and that was pretty cool. Glad I have Photoshop at the house, this could be fun.
April 23, 2009 at 5:59 pm
Im hoping the cutomization is top notch… because the past NCAA games have lacked so many jersey combos that I'm hoping it's so customizable I can just recreate the team, DL their logo and make the jersey combos I see on gamedays (assuming the jersey customization is amazing).
April 23, 2009 at 7:31 pm
yeah that nhl 2001 for pc was the shite
April 23, 2009 at 6:01 pm
What will you have for us Monday? Any player or Team Ratings?
April 23, 2009 at 6:13 pm
I like the Crabtree pick…and Team Builder sounds awesome
April 23, 2009 at 6:48 pm
Tony G traded to the Atlanta Falcons for 2010 2nd rounder!!!!! I can only prey the Bills get Pettitgrew @ 28 now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 23, 2009 at 7:33 pm
I'm right wit you!!!… time to go to church and ask got for him to fall to the 28th pick and for the Bills to pick him up. If we get him I'm GETTING HIS JERSEY ASAP!
April 23, 2009 at 7:17 pm
I was listening to the Michael Irvin Show here in Dallas today and they had D. Ware on the show. They said he (D.Ware) was on the cover of Madden. Fans that called in were pissed because of the madden curse.
April 23, 2009 at 7:52 pm
not going to say that never happened, but it sounds pretty unlikely
April 23, 2009 at 8:20 pm
i caught it halfway through the show because my friend called me and told me they were talking about it on the show. they were going over the list of players that were affected by the curse. Irvin was saying he hopes the curse is just a joke and D Ware had nothing to worry about. Dunno, but it sounded legit to me.
April 23, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Glad to see crabtree made the 360 cover now i just need to get my 360 back i got red ring of death playing nhl 09 best game ever
April 23, 2009 at 7:33 pm
god not got lol
April 23, 2009 at 7:43 pm
lol!
April 23, 2009 at 7:40 pm
WHERE ARE THE HATERS NOW?!?!?!
Where are the NFL 2K5 is the best game ever people now???
THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE EPIC!!!
April 23, 2009 at 8:15 pm
Up your butt
April 23, 2009 at 9:51 pm
You gotta wait for Madden 10 to come out before it starts getting compared to NFL 2k5… or at least till EA releases some gameplay vids.
April 23, 2009 at 7:51 pm
YES! I have been praying that we would be able to upload our own logos forever. I always wondered why this was done with other games (like decks and shirts in Skate 2 off the top off my head) but not done for sports games. Hopefully this will carry over into Madden so I can make whatever team I like instead of like 10 preloaded logos.
April 23, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Pasta when the game comes out will u have the fcs schools created so i can type ur name and download it.
April 23, 2009 at 8:09 pm
were up your butt
April 23, 2009 at 8:16 pm
if u want fcs schools u will have to take other teams out of conferences
April 23, 2009 at 9:38 pm
… stupid question but you can upload the logos for teams you dont plan on using online right? my internet doesnt support online gaming because it's so sluggish…
April 23, 2009 at 10:00 pm
How come no love for the SEC to get a cover after winning the last couple of BCS championships.
April 24, 2009 at 2:59 am
wow, crabtree cover looks horrible.
April 24, 2009 at 9:53 am
will there be any FCS teams for ps3?
April 24, 2009 at 12:08 pm
I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE THIS FEATURE BECAUSE IT IS THE GAMER PLAYING THE GAME NOT URBAN MEYER OR MACK BROWN OR PETE CARROL IS IS US AND WITH THIS ADDITIONAL FEATURE IT WILL MAKE THE GAME FEEL MORE LIKE A TEAM AND A SYTEM THAT YOU BUILT INSTEAD OF SOMETHING YOU FOUND THAT SOME OTHER GUY MADE UP>>>> THIS WILL PUT US IN THE SHOES AS THE COACHES AND MAKE US BUILD A TEAM WITH OUR OWN PLAYBOOK AND OUR OWN RECRUITED PLAYERS >>>>SO THAT WE CAN REALLY BE EA SPORTS IN THE GAME!!!!
April 24, 2009 at 5:00 pm
Only thing left i can think of EA doing to better this game is a Teamplay mode of 5v5.
QB RB WR(2) TE VS Linebacker Corners(2) SS OR FS and a DE
April 25, 2009 at 1:52 am
PS3 Owner here, do I have to by anything special to get custom logos in?????
Go Minnesota State Mavericks!
