First NCAA Football 10 Patch Out Now
The release patch for NCAA Football 10 which the PS3 received last week has finally been pushed live for the 360. Starting up the game should now prompt download of the patch automatically. Issues addressed include an on/off option for downloadable cheats in online dynasties, fixing of the sliders so they affect gameplay properly, and instituting the "fixed" rosters for online play usage. I have received several requests for comment on broken progression in dynasty mode resulting in an in...

NCAA Football 10: Pastapadre vs Utopia
It was the Pasta University Ninjas vs the Utopia Legends yesterday as I faced off against Chris Jacobs representing ncaaStrategies. Using our community constructed teams consisting of forum members we played NCAA Football 10 online on the PS3. It was a clean and enjoyable game albeit probably too short given the number of possessions we each had with the five minute quarters. Outside of a portion of the 2nd quarter that I was unable to capture I recorded the entire game. Continue on to watch...

NBA Live 10 Feature Descriptions
The launch of the NBA Live 10 website also brought about a page describing some of the features in the game. Of the items listed only one is actually new. At this point it is probably safe to assume that they are holding back on describing the larger improvements or additions after the events of last year proved why holding off can sometimes be necessary. However it also could signal strong attention to gameplay enhancements rather than adding features. The strength of the 09 was its wide fe...

NCAA Football 10 Hard Drive Evaluation
Continuing the series of 360 hard drive performance evaluations this time brings about NCAA Football 10. I've gone through and compared several aspects of the game based on loading times. The NCAA Football series has been especially plagued by long loading times, laggy menus, and tedious menu navigation so the hope would be this could cut down on some of that. As always the other benefits of installing to the hard drive such quieter running and less stress on the 360 remain. (more&hellip...

Madden 10 OF Super Bowl Video
EA Sports has released a video chronicling the events of the Online Franchise Super Bowl that some in the office had been participating in. Lead developer Ian Cummings was able to get his Titans to the Super Bowl to take on the Cowboys. The video contains a good deal of quality gameplay footage. Keep in mind that the video comes from an old build, probably two months old or thereabouts. There wouldn't be a way to update the build and transfer over an existing franchise. So some things not...
