NCAA Team Builder - Assassin's Creed Themed Team

Posted 12-08-2012 at 11:43 PM by Valdarez
I'm a huge fan of the Assassin's Creed series, and created a custom team that I've used the last 3 years now in the NCAA series. They can be found here for NCAA 13, and believe there is an 11 and 12 team for them as well if you want an earlier version.

More Great NCAA ScreenShots

Posted 08-13-2010 at 07:27 PM by Valdarez
As much as I dislike the animation in EA Football games due to missing frames, I have to admit that I am greatly enamoured with the graphics/art of NCAA 2011. The images are breath taking, and nigh close to the real thing. Here are some more I took with my offline franchise Devine Dragons in a game that went into 4 OT's!

If you want to see more images, be sure to check out the thread in the forums titled 'The Photographic Side of NCAA Football 2011'.

Loving TeamBuilder in NCAA 2011

TeamBuilder was originally planned for Madden, but due to other priorities was never able to be delivered. It finally found a home in NCAA 2010 and definitely for the better of the NCAA franchise. Though a year older now, and with little new functionality (from what I have been told), I have found TeamBuilder thoroughly enjoyable to use to create a team, and even more enjoyable to play with my custom team in Dynasty mode. I recently created a team called the Devine Dragons (from a city in Texas,...

Madden 11 Demo Impression

Posted 07-27-2010 at 09:29 PM by Valdarez

First thing I noticed when playing the game was Gus Johnson coming through all 7 of my speakers, which was nice as few games make use of all surround sound properly, especially on the 360. The next thing I noticed was that the rendering yet again has not been fix. Animations are not fluid and it still looks like I'm looking at a flip through book book from the 1920s rather than a game rendered on...

NCAA 2011 Still Images Look Great

Posted 07-20-2010 at 10:08 PM by Valdarez

Whether you think NCAA is a great game, or yet another bust, one of the things that stands out about the game, and has for most EA Football games for years, is the still images. While the game failed to fix the rendering problems, and the animations continue to play out faster than the game can render them, when paused, the game looks great. In fact, from the right angles, it's nigh photo realistic.

People have been taking great shots from their games and sharing them online. Don't...
