I guess UL Lafayettes Stadium didnt get the new turf, or the stadium paint in 10, LAME.

Plus no new LSU video screen...

So they only added 9 stadiums in this year???

Yeah, I forgot to add Minnesota to the list. Still, 114 real stadiums is not too shabby if you ask me. Sure they have had a few years to get them all in, but I'm sure the process of creating stadiums from the ground up is a pain in the butt and quite time consuming. At least there aren't as many generics as there were last year.

I'm sure it take a long time to do them, especially in HD. last-gen, I think it took them up to NCAA 05 before they got all the D-1A stadiums in.

I really don't want to come off the wrong way because I really appreciate the effort put into these blogs each and every week and having worked with video a lot I know how time consuming it can be, but...

I honestly didn't watch all of the videos. I'm glad we are getting this much information early and it gets on my nerves when people forget the lack of info we have had for years at this point in time, but this blog is...well...I'll forget about this one two months from now.

Thanks for the time and effort though, it's great to see that some guys took time out of their day after work to stay up and post this. I'm hoping that that effort is reflected in the final product.

After reading there was going to be 8 videos and a bunch of screens i was super pumped... after seeing that it was just stadiums i am super bummed. Did anyone notice the revolution facemask that the oregon player was wearing... looks like those won't be fixed I am now down.

Yes, but they knew this before and they knew fans wanted all stadiums in. They were only missing 15-20 stadiums - yet they did only 9 new ones.

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?

it's possible, I don't think anywhere on the blog it said these were the only ones. but it didn't said they wern't either though.

it also stated that there were over 150 stadiums in the game. thats a lot of stadiums to keep track of and update if needed.

I have been waiting for NCAA to "turn the corner," but I have to say that the information released has been vastly disappointing in comparison to Madden. I don't see any excuse for not having dreadlocks or not having every stadium this far into "next gen." I hope this is all because the game play is where most of the work has been done.

I question Ncaa dev teams decisions now. Why not just do that blog in screenshots and/or words. It would have been easier, quicker and would have saved alot of time. Im not usually against Ncaa, but the madden team is making them look like the rookies. The team with the smaller budget(Ncaa) should make better decisions and be more discipline. Madden comes out a entire month after ncaa, but seems 3 months ahead of them. I dont even play madden. I only play 2 games Ncaa 2009 and socom(rarely). I feel as though I should be grateful for having all this info early, but most of the blogs have left me dissapointed. That blog seems like something Omt could have put in stadium updates.

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.

Re: New blog 4/16/09. NCAA Football 10: Stadium Updates.

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.
