Wow, Louisville's scoreboard looks FANTASTIC! Big props guys. Wonderful.

Anyone know whats going on with the FSU videoboard? Check where the play clock is and tell me if its covered by something in the game or by the devs trying to hide something? Looks like Championship Banners!!!!!!!! I think we get these for our stadiums in Dynasty or Teambuilder when we win Chips.

Im glad Illinois' stadium will be up-to-date

I guess I'm in the minority for liking this blog..but I agree that they should have just gone with pics instead of the vids to get this up earlier.

9 new stadiums have been confirmed > this is way more than I was expecting. I have always wanted to start a dynasty with a MAC team, but never have because none of them had stadiums so this is exciting to me.

Secondly, there are a bunch of updates and additions to other stadiums..I'm sure they didn't share all of them though.

This now leaves 5-6 teams without a real stadium > they will be in 2011, guaranteed. If they can get this many in this year, they can finish it up for next. I'm not sure about bowl game sites, but I'm pretty happy with the progress considering what its been like before this. I do slightly agree with those who say they should all be in by now...but they take forever to build within the game so its ok.

All that's left are refs, chain gang, sidelines, & equipment overhaul and we're good when it comes to the aesthetics.

Overall, nice work Adam & crew.

the ncaa pic is covered with photoshop to hide what the real scoreboard shows for some reason.

Looks like it's just covered with a tarp in game.

BTW, how many stadiums need to be updated next year? With like expansion in stuff? If they have only 6 stadium to build I wonder if they'll get the Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium expansion in.

Exactly. Why would they do that though unless they are hiding something about a new feature?

I'm sure that no one cares, but Troy's logo is upside down in the video. It faces the press box side. Either way, I'm just glad it's finally in the game.

150 (total) - 114 (team stadiums) = 36

are there really 36 "bowl game/special game only" stadiums in 10? I'm booting up 09 to see what's missing.

I don't see a tarp on the real pic. I see old FSU players on the left and ACC chips on the right. No black tarp. The saga continues...........

some bowl games are in college stadiums(like the Sun Bowl is played in UTEP stadium, etc...). I don't know if they are saved as different files on the disc and counted as a separate stadium or just use some sort of art swap for the bowl games.

and the blog said over 150, so who know exactly how many there are.

and thats what the EA picture shows. if you zoom in, you can see it. it's hard to see because of the shadows.

Last year the reasoning was that the art guys were redoing the player models - yet still were able to add more. Where has the art department budget gone? Another theory: OMT and the team have more stadiums added, but wanted to get a blog out tonight. Is this possible?

Hopefully it's because they were working on progressive lighting.

Can we establish that it is covered by a tarp cause i've never seen a wavy shadow with x's on? After that Why is the tarp there?

I believe the X's are the crossbars behind the banner. you can partially see them in the real-life picture as well.

Also, I don't think that is a hard surface, so if it's some kind of cloth-like banner, that would explain the wavy shadows. but I wouldn't know as I've never been there.

but I will say it's a bit dark, even for being in the shadows.

Akron's old stadium has been there since 08 so at least it's not a generic stadium. And they have yet to play in their new stadium so it might be a case like Minnesota where they didn't have enough info to make the new one in the game.

# 38 Squeezee12 @ 04/17/09 02:20 AM

I will add myself to the small group of guys that enjoyed the blog. The generic stadiums bothered me a lot. Glad that a lot of them are gone.

# 39 sportzbro @ 04/17/09 02:21 AM

Generic Stadiums: 2010

San Jose State
Rice
Miami, OH
Minnesota
Western Kentucky
Kent State

PetroSun Independence Bowl - Shrevport, LA
GMAC Bowl - Mobile, AL
International Bowl - Toronto, Canada
Emerald Bowl - San Francisco, CA

*Based on the new blog, and cross reference with 09..There is always the possibility there have been more added.

I can believe the crossbars behind the banner or tarp. Ok I think OMT would need to come in and speak on this. To me its nowhere near the color of the real pic. I still think they are hiding something. Just like the OU player with his back turned as to not show that the Revo Speed helmets are in yet.
