Vague Road to Glory Info
by 
Road to Glory in NCAA Football 10 is the reinvention of Campus Legend mode with news on it being held back until late June. Knowing that, there is certainly a lot more to be detailed than what was provided in the retailer feature listing for the game which is vague and just offers a general idea of what to expect.
Settle who’s number one once and for all with NCAA Football 10. With the eyes of college football upon you, begin your Road to Glory in a fully customizable career mode featuring player progression, and authentic college football atmospheres. Against your biggest rivals and during the biggest games, bust out big-time performances week in and week out and make a case for winning the Heisman Trophy. From controlling a player’s overall progression to controlling the pace of a game, make an historic run for glory with NCAA Football 10.
- All-New Road to Glory Mode – With gameplay focused on you, become a campus legend by dominating your rivals, making big-time plays in big-time games, and capturing college football’s ultimate individual prize, the Heisman Trophy. Use bonus points earned for solid performances to develop your skills, then continue on your quest to become college football’s biggest star.
For the most part that just sounds pretty similar to Campus Legend so we’ll have to wait for details of the mode to be laid out. The only other thing really known about the mode right now is that Erin Andrews will be playing a role in it.
Hopefully though the progression aspect has been changed up from the practice mode of old which was a complete waste of time and brought about frustration for any position that didn’t have the ball in their hands. I still look back at my article from January of 2008 on Campus Legend and Superstar as a guide of how these modes could improve. Most of the areas covered still apply even after the 09 offerings. Taking that experience online just as NHL 09 did is another aspect to consider going forward.
There is also a couple other details that had not been talked about regarding preparation for standard games.
See what may or may not work on Saturday by practicing against an opponent’s playbook during the week. Fine-tune up to 10 plays on offense in hope of having a greater chance of success when playing against live competition, or practice with Crowd Noise in an effort to replicate the game day atmosphere.

they should get rid of this boring game mode
and more dynasty stuff
May 31, 2009 at 3:15 am
I second that. If they cant go back to the Last-Gen version where I had complete control then I say get rid of this dumb downed college version of NFL Head Coach. Its a crappy mode and it's taking up space that could be used to improve the Dynasty modes.
May 31, 2009 at 4:21 pm
I think that if they won't improve it then they should remove it. And I am surprised that they haven't done anything with it, it has great potential, but sadly I think that the mode is not going to improve anytime soon, because I don't see anyone in development that gives a crap about it. And just out curiosity, if they were to remove it what features would you like to see added to Dynasty mode that are being held back because of Campus Legend?

great to hear about this ive been waiting for some news on it. i love campus legend so knowing they put time in to make it better is great
May 31, 2009 at 3:17 am
This better not be the James I think it is saying this about this crappy mode.
May 31, 2009 at 2:37 am
Always has to be the Heisman. Why can't it just be either the Heisman or the Bednarik award. Sucks to be a defensive player again this year…
May 31, 2009 at 3:56 am
yea i agree..
good luck being a Linebacker or corner
that is unless u play on walk-on difficulty
May 31, 2009 at 2:47 am
Good to hear that their trying to improve the great Campus Legend mode. Campus Legend mode is fun.
May 31, 2009 at 3:23 am
Don't think they never improve this mode unless it reverts back to the old style of the player having control and not relying on the cpu because I lost plenty of games just by the shear stupidity of the plays it calls at times on offense and defense.
May 31, 2009 at 4:07 am
I completely agree w/ Dre here. Campus Legend in NCAA 07 on the last-gen consoles was amazing. Why can't they just go back to that concept?

"use bonus points earned for solid performances to develop your skills"
-
would like to see them move more toward a role playing game for this mode, where the player gets to strategically assign attributes to where they want based on awards/ accomplishments made in games, rather than the computer randomly assigning them to your player after the offseason. That way the user has more of an investment and more user interaction. Also hopefully its a little harder to be a "legend" than in years past, and actually make this mode more challenging.

Pasta, when is E3????
May 31, 2009 at 7:40 am
hey pasta
have you heard anything on ncaa or madden about more alternate uniforms like more oregon duck uniforms and like the bengals all white unis or their orange on black
thanks
May 31, 2009 at 4:00 pm
The Ducks will have 13 uniforms(via utopia podcast). This mode is useless, camera angles are horrible.If you are not a qb or rb you'll be lucky to be involved in the play. They need to completely start over with this mode or get rid of it.
May 31, 2009 at 4:16 pm
I read an interview with one of the developers. This year, you can choose each uniform part independently. So you can choose the helmet, jersey and pants you want to wear each game. If you like Oregon's white helmets, you can wear them every game if you choose….
This increases the number of combos for each team….

I personally find the camera view for any position other than QB or RB to be unplayable in football games. I don't get the allure behind Legend or Superstar mode in football games, but I guess for those who like it, more power to you. For me, they need to give me a playable camera angle before I'm even remotely interested. I would love to see the camera view used in Superstar mode of FIFA incorporated into their football games. I think that view is so bad ass, and you could use it for both regular play and Legend or Superstar mode (or as I like to call it The SIMS mode).
May 31, 2009 at 2:37 pm
True, I absolutely agree with that one. It's very hard to see whats going on around you and in a real football game that isn't the case. The way the camera angles are they put you in bad situations. Really I think they should either go back to the original PS2 format of debunk this feature altogether.
May 31, 2009 at 3:00 pm
yeah, i would like to know if alternate or throwback jerseys will be included?
May 31, 2009 at 4:17 pm
I haven't read anything about throwbacks but all alternates are in the game. As I posted earlier, this year you choose the helmet (if applicable), jersey and pants separately. So you can create your own combination….
May 31, 2009 at 3:11 pm
This has definitely been a better mode than Dynasty.
May 31, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Are you HIGH because this mode is lacking in everything. I mean you have no control over basically nothing and its so bland in areas. If you like a game where you basically have no control and like to watch the cpu do dumb things then yea this mode is for you.
May 31, 2009 at 6:13 pm
I think he is kidding. I hope he is. Anyway, they need to get rid of this mode as well as Season Showdown because both of those modes suck and take up space that could be used making a deeper dynasty mode and better presentation.
May 31, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Dre2778 , shut up…. if your going to talk sh** about this game just dont comment, no one really cares if you dont like this game mode so again SHUT UP..
May 31, 2009 at 4:10 pm
Not talking bad about NCAA just that crappy Campus Legend o.0. You know that mode sucks balls and needs to be scrapped or revamped back to its original state from the PS2 era. :p

Below is a portion of the interview on ESPN Video games by Jon Robinson speaking with one of the developers. If this has already been out there, my apologies, but I am pumped about this feature. The ability to select each part of the uniform independently is a big plus..
ESPN: I saw the ability to mix and match uniforms in the game for each team. How will that work?
Ben Haumiller: In years past, you had your home uniform, your away uniform, and you might have a couple of alternates. But this year, we wanted to break these up into individual pieces because there are so many uniforms that are just the change of a pant color or something like that. So we broke all of these up so you can set your helmet, your jersey, your pants and your shoe color independent from each other. Just doing that right there, the number for the potential of alternate jerseys grew exponentially, especially for a team like Oregon who has different helmets and like eight different jersey tops and three or four different pants. If you're playing as Oregon, you can have a completely different uniform ev

Of course you pumped about the feature, your a tool, and you devour every EA release.
June 1, 2009 at 4:30 am
I am excited about this as well skihawks apex your a tool you prolly have man tits and play with them so stfu

I love it how EA calls it an "All New Feature" this year when it's basically the same sh*t as last year with a few tweaks. Let me guess, on the back of the Madden 10 box it will say "All New Referees & Chaingangs" eventhough we them almost 20 years ago. Just cut it out with the gimicky features & advertising EA. Improve the gameplay & presentation! That's what's sorely lacking in your games. Madden seems to be getting it right this year but what the hell is NCAA doing? I fired up ESPN 2K5 last night just to get my football fix & I still get blown away at how far ahead of it's time that game was! I blows my mind that 2K5 has far superior gameplay & presentation than anything EA has put out & that game came out 5 years ago! I forgot that 2K5 already has that Right Stick QB Evading feature that Madden is advertising this year! I applaud the Madden team for at least swallowing their pride & taking notes from 2K5 this year. Oh & before you guys bash me, I'm not even a 2K fan I just call it like I see it.
May 31, 2009 at 7:48 pm
well from reading what you said you are a 2k fan..
May 31, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Features dont matter if the gameplay isnt great
May 31, 2009 at 11:47 pm
not related to this, but i just read on wikipedia that the cover for nba 2k10 is dwight howard, dunno if thats real or not but just thought id say
