Today brings the raising of the embargo on the Road to Glory mode in NCAA Football 10. There will likely be media previews out on it later today. Until now all we’ve known about the mode is that it represents a revamped Campus Legend with the addition of Erin Andrews. EA has now released their official description of the mode and a video about it which you can watch here.

The new Road to Glory mode allows you to choose a position, embark on a college career and then reflect on your greatest moments through video presentations presented by Andrews. For the first time ever, your actual in-game highlights will be featured in these broadcast-style presentations. Plus, an all-new, completely redesigned 3-D dorm room prominently displays triumphant moments through photos, trophies, NCAA Football news and more. New online leaderboards allow you to compare your legend versus every other legend across the nation. The comparison of each position can be sorted by everyone who is playing that particular position with the same team, the same conference or can be compared across all NCAA teams.

I used to play a lot of Campus Legend mode until the last two years where it has gone largely untouched. It is difficult to say if the new presentation and additions will be enough given there were other underlying issues with the mode that needed to be addressed as well.

    Boring, scrap this mode altogether and add all the presentation stuff we're looking for.

    Just the same as last year except the art work is different. Who cares if Erin Andrews chronicles your career? Who cares if we get broadcast style highlights?

    Come on EA, stop wasting your time with this crap. Blow this thing up and start over.

      And you guys are the same people that bitch and moan that Madden needs "broadcast style highlights." Can't have it both ways.

    But I was right about one thing… It should be called "Road To Glory Hole".

    One more thing I noticed…

    You can purchase an automatic 5 star high school upgrade (supposedly so you don't have to play the high school playoff round when you make a new player). This sounds like the same garbage they're shoveling about purchsing cheats.

    I cant wait to try this out. I share the same feelings as Pasta about the mode being a favorite until it went untouched.

    Now that I am getting this game, I can look forward to playing though the HS playoffs, then 4 years of college and then moving on to Madden.

    I just hope there are injures this time. It sounds odd but I hate being an IRONMAN. I actually want to miss a good part of the season or at least a few games… I want to be frustrated that I cant play in a big game or that my stats are low do to a nagging injury.. just to make it play more authentic.

        nah, its not like that… like I noted, I even stay for a 4th year when I do my careers.

        I just wish there were more things to set you back a bit. An option in the menu would be good. SO it wasnt forced.

      I doubt they'll implement that your player will get injured for multiple games, but it would be a good idea for the mode to be realistic.

    Yes, the dorm room is back!

    The only way they could make this better is the return of the girlfriend picture on your computer.

    Seeing that this is the official description, it's hard to believe that they have any other big features that they're waiting to unveil. With that in mind, it looks like they still haven't really made any major changes.

    Don't get me wrong, I'll have me some Erin Andrews any day, but if you are going to try and remake the Campus Legend mode you have to do it right. It just doesn't feel like they did enough to change anything.

    The video looks cool. I hope it works as seamlessly as it appears.

    This is a nice thing for those that play the mode all the way through… hopefully it will keep things more interesting.

    Everyone who posted here is smarter than EA. Because you know, they turn over billions of dollars a year you know…

    To me Campus Legend was kind of a bonus but it was still fun to play. As Radie said, some more realistic stuff like injuries would be welcome.

    Is it me or has this website devovled into some of the most negative feedback on the web? This addition looks great. Some of you need to chill out a little.

    I think the main thing this video accomplished for me was putting a name to the first guy EA should fire after NCAA 10 comes out.

    attention all future ncaa 10 and madden 10 players…
    First : Campus legend mode is a great addition to the game and i admit that i have completed multiple successful campus legend players. I look forward to playing ncaa 10.

    Last : If you like playing online dynastys and franchises i will be starting very active ones the day that the games come out on xbox 360. message me at spenzahouse29 on xbox live. send me an email at onepoint5iveandahalf@live.com.

    tell me your team. these dynastys will advance regularly.

    the dynasty in NCAA 10 will be Big 12. i will send out emails and text messages about changes in the dynasty.

    the franchise in madden 10 will be all teams. the steelers are already taken. everyone else is fair game.

    p.s. i get my rosters from pastapadre. even on ncaa 10.

    p.s.s. hey pastapadre do you know if the rosters have been finalized yet?
