Re: At least Erin Andrews "is in the game"

Great to see presentation addressed - hopefully the 'major feature' is pregame/halftime/postgame/weekly shows. We'll see, I suppose.

Oh man I really hope not. I don't care if these shows were as good as real life ESPN pregame/halftime/postgame/weekly shows, I would still skip them 99% of the time.

You must not wake up and watch gameday for 3 hours every Saturday before parking yo butt on the couch, at the tailgate, game etc.. It's just part of it bro.

Seriously, I'd much rather have atmosphere type cut scenes during and after the game. When I start a game I want to start playing immediately and would skip warm ups and stuff.

Re: At least Erin Andrews "is in the game"

Uh oh, Adam, you may have just leaked something that you werent supposed to without realizing it. If only that read "All FCS Logos" and not "All CAS Logos." I really hate the idea of having CAS, instead of FCS. Adding FCS instead makes the game more sim, CAS seems to be too arcade like, to me. Especially because if you create a team, thats in the FCS or in other divisions, your going to have them play FBS schools every week, thats not realistic at all. With full use of FCS in, then your going to have some FCS schools play an FBS school ONCE, and the rest of the weeks play other FCS teams.

Man I wish I wouldnt of missed that Pic that Adam posted.... My CAS hopes would be running more than they are now....

So are you gonna tailgate for your dynasty?
Do you really want to watch a halftime show in the middle of your game?
Would you really watch gameday for your dynasty when you could be playing instead?

Real college football is a tremendous spectator sport and as such there are more spectator-related things you can do with it that are interesting. The NCAA series is a video game. Video games are fun to play, not spectate!

Re: At least Erin Andrews &quot;is in the game&quot;

Thank God she's in Football, she knows Football, that mean's NCAA Basketball won't have her next year. YES!!!

She doesn't know basketball and needs to keep away from the sideline reporting from it.

And yes she will be a nice addition to the commentary on NCAA that's a nice touch EA.

Yes I would watch any kind of added presentation b/c I think it adds to the immersion factor. As an example, CHOOPS got this right with selection Sunday, Coaching Carousel, and weekly highlights. EA will hopefully add something to the game so you forget it's just a video game, that you're mindlessly punching buttons through all the screens to get back to another mundane game against the CPU who calls the same stupid plays every time on offense. Those are separate issues, but my point is this series could gain some depth by doing more with the actual game than they have in years past. It's my estimation that we WILL see some sort of pregame entrance, and hopefully a postgame (bowl) celebration.

Re: At least Erin Andrews &quot;is in the game&quot;

And yes I would be interested in merely spectating an entire game, b/c some of our OD's have been that intense. Why not when you have a group of serious gamers gunning for the only BCS bid out of a conference?

Re: Erin Andrews Gets in the Game with NCAA Football 10

It's a nice addition but nothing to write home about.


This reminds me of last year's "celebrate with the mascot". Give me something to get jazzed about, something to make me come back to what used to be a yearly purchase.


If I remember correctly, NFL2k1 on dreamcast had a sideline reporter. And, Tracy Wolfson on CH2k8 pretty much repeats the same lines every game.

This news is underwhelming.

First of all, this is NOT the same thing as last year's mascot celebration feature. The mascot celebration feature was terribly unrealistic as the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty was removed from last year's game, and no one celebrates like that in real football without a flag thrown. EA's announcement that Erin Andrews is in the game is a big deal, because she actually reports from the sideline during the college football season on ESPN. As someone else mentioned earlier, it adds to the immersion factor and makes you forget you are in a videogame.

Forget TrevJo. He is a noob. I'm ashamed we share half of the same screen name ("Trev"). He probably can't sit through an entire college football game if his life depended on it. People like that remind me of when I would play NCAA with my cousin-in-law (who is eight by the way) and he has to fast forward all the cut scenes because he has a short attention span. He also can't finish a quarter without getting bored and moving on to something else.

Now this is the kind of new stuff I wanna hear about!

Field goal nets and wind socks is weak. Thats not a major new thing. It should go without saying.

So I guess no towels and hand warmers for us NCAAers.
