The Four NCAA Football 10 Cover Athletes
The official announcements are only a couple hours away but most of the covers for NCAA Football 10 are out. Gamestop has posted up all of them except the 360 version. On the PSP it is USC QB Mark Sanchez and the PS2 is Texas DE/OLB Brian Orakpo. Already known was Utah QB Brian Johnson who captured the PS3 version.
I'll be updating this posting when the final cover athlete is revealed. All signs point to that being Michael Crabtree. Thanks for bryan121 for the tip.
Update: Despite EA a...
NCAA Football 10 Features List Confirms CAS
Over at ncaaStrategies they've come across the placeholder box for NCAA Football 10 that is being put on display by Gamestop. The box lists out a few of the features of the game. While some of them have already been discussed there are a couple that as of yet had not. You can check out the details and view a picture of the box over at ncaaStrategies by clicking here.
The one that will likely get the most attention is the return of Create-A-School. Its inclusion has been speculated upon ho...
NCAA Football 10 New Stadiums and Updates
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'v...
One of the NCAA Football 10 Cover Athletes
While the official announcements of the four cover athletes for NCAA Football 10 won't be made until Monday one of them is already known. Boucher1234 sent me a tweet this morning that Utah Utes QB Brian Johnson had dropped the news on a Mountain West focused TV show.
Johnson is someone who would've seemed unlikely when it came to predicting but the choice does make sense. He isn't a household name but he did help lead Utah to an undefeated season and a win over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. ...
Erin Andrews Joins NCAA Football 10
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...
NCAA Football 10 Cover Athlete Speculation
With EA Sports holding an NCAA Football 10 event in NY leading up to the NFL Draft it would only make sense that the cover athletes of the four versions of the game would be in town. Last year all of them (Matt Ryan, Darren McFadden, DeSean Jackson, and Owen Schmidt) were in attendance along with a few others.
The following players have been invited by the NFL to attend the draft: Matthew Stafford, Josh Freeman, Brian Cushing, Aaron Curry, Michael Crabtree, Eugene Monroe, Michael Oher, Br...
Adaptive AI Blog Posting
Today a new article on the Inside EA Blog focuses on the addition of Adaptive AI. This is something that will be seen in both Madden 10 and NCAA Football 10. This is certainly something that has been long overdue and will hopefully lead to a more realistic simulation whether that be offline or online. You can check out the full posting here.
First and foremost, we hope that our Adaptive AI will add a ton of replay value to our games this year by forcing you as a gamer to continue to mix up ...
NCAA Football 10: What is Teambuilder?
The NCAA Football 10 dynasty video that went up yesterday displayed the menu screen which includes a mode called Teambuilder. Probably the two most frequently requested features from the community have been for the return of Create-A-School and FCS. It has widely been expected that at least one, but probably not both, would make it in this year.
At this point it is just speculation but Teambuilder representing what has been known as Create-A-School certainly makes sense. It would be easie...
NCAA Football 10 Online Dynasty First Look
After the revolutionary introduction of Online Dynasty in NCAA Football 09 the first look at what is being prepared for the mode in the upcoming release has been eagerly anticipated. Today that first look was presented through a video that has been posted on the official website for NCAA Football 10 and which I've included in this article.
Discussed in the video are the custom conferences, the tuning of simulated stats to provide more realistic output, and fixing of the glitch that preven...
NCAA Football 10 Player Lock and Defensive Assist
This week's Inside EA Blog posting for NCAA Football 10 describes new additions to the game in Player Lock and Defensive Assist. You can check out the full article here which includes a video showing a Player Lock camera shift.
In an effort to help players on defense we’d also like to introduce Defensive Assist. By pressing the A button on Xbox 360 (or the X button on PlayStation 3) your player will move to his correct position at any given time. For example say you are not exactly sure w...
