NCAA Football Heading Down Generic Path
Player names and how they are dealt with in EA Sports NCAA Football series has always been a sensitive subject. While there has been discussion over the years to reach agreement with the NCAA to allow names in that has not come to fruition. The last couple versions of NCAA Football have brought about some new community based features such as the EA Locker for roster sharing and Teambuilder. The Sam Keller lawsuit may or may not directly affect what happens with NCAA Football but it does seem...

E3: NCAA Football 10 Impressions
During the first day of E3 I played NCAA Football 10 on the default Varsity difficulty. I made the statement in my brief recap that the game had a very similar feel to 09 and it seems people ran with that as though it meant it wasn't changed or improved which is not the case. The differences are just not as obvious as the ones Madden received. After bumping it up to All-American the improvements made to the game became more evident. The adaptive AI has a strong presence and I'll describe ...

Bands in NCAA Football 10
One presentation addition for NCAA Football 10 that hasn't been discussed much is team specific bands that will appear prior to the start of the games. At this point it's unknown which schools will have their personalized bands however the official website for NCAA has started posting up a "Band of the Day". If one were to be posted every weekday up to release that would mean 30+ schools would have their own band formation. The first video went up earlier today and features Ohio State. ...

Lawsuit Threatens Future of College Sports Games
Over the last couple days there has been a great deal of talk around a lawsuit filed by former ASU and Nebraska QB Sam Keller. In the class action suit he claims that the NCAA and EA Sports profited off his name as they do all other collegiate football and basketball athletes in games such as NCAA Football and NCAA Basketball. He cites the players in the games as having the same number, representative player ratings, similar builds and accurate hometowns of the actual players. Of course n...

Recent Trailers: NCAA, Madden Wii, Tiger Wii
Everything surrounding the events in New York last week and the subsequent coverage coming out of them caused me to bypass posting up some recent trailers. They include ones for NCAA Football 10, Madden 10 on the Wii, and Tiger Woods 10 on the Wii. For NCAA and Madden they are the debut trailers while the Tiger video shows off the new disc golf mode. Until recently when the inclusion of disc golf into Tiger was being discussed I had never even heard of it. Apparently it is one of the fast...

NCAA Football 10 Dynasty Improvements
This week's Inside EA Blog posting for NCAA Football 10 covers many of the improvements that have been made to dynasty mode. The video that came out earlier this month (which was inaccurately advertised as being an online dynasty overview) only offered a glimpse at what was new this year while not really touching on the specific improvements that have been made. Recruits have undergone an overhaul to when they are created in Dynasty Mode. We are creating a situation where you simply do not ...
