NCAA Football 10 Impressions
While I haven't been able to spend extensive time with NCAA Football 10 I did want to post up my initial impressions. After reading through some reviews it's clear that the game is getting credit for things it probably shouldn't, but also getting knocked in areas unfairly. I stated in my E3 impressions that people who enjoyed NCAA 09 would likely enjoy NCAA 10 a great deal, and that those who strongly disliked 09 would not feel differently this year. It appears that has come to fruition with...
NCAA Fixed Rosters Available Now
We now have the names of the EA Lockers that contain the "fixed" rosters for NCAA Football 10. The rosters that shipped with the game were incomplete. Some teams had no or very few freshman and there were also players still around who had graduated and moved on. These rosters are simply the "fixed" rosters in that they are what should have gone out with the final version of the game. They are not the named rosters. It may be the weekend before anyone completes a fully named roster set. While...
NCAA Football 10 Video Blowout #2
Here is the second set of NCAA Football 10 videos. Featured in this group are four portions of gameplay with the community based created team the Pastapadre Ninjas. There was one more significant video with the Ninjas in their away uniforms which had probably the best results of all but I've been unable to get that video up and may not be able to until the weekend.

NCAA Football 10 Video Blowout #1
Restrictions have now been lifted allowing for the posting of videos that I have been putting together since getting NCAA Football 10 on Friday. Since the videos are in HD they make for a lengthy process converting and uploading so I am pleased to have completed 12 of them in all.
Included in this posting is a full game with Purdue @ South Carolina broken down by quarter. Also a short clip from the first High School Road to Glory game and the first few minutes of a game using my Teambuild...
Padre Road to Glory: Part Two
Judging Road to Glory without having even reached college would've been premature. Still even after just the beginning of a long journey there was a lot to take from the first update. While noticing the general improvements to gameplay there continue to be some issues with different aspects of the mode. However there remains a lot to look forward to with the special presentation that will come as the career continues and milestones are accomplished. The first of those happens following the Hig...
Teambuilder Walkthrough and Thoughts
Far and away most anticipated aspect of NCAA Football 10 has been the addition of Teambuilder. As always there is some trepidation at first when it comes to whether a new feature will work properly especially at release time. I have been able to dig into the feature and create a quick walkthrough of the steps. Continue on to check that out along with some screenshots of different created teams!

Padre Road to Glory: Part One
My first mission with NCAA Football 10 was to get into Road to Glory mode. I've enjoyed Campus Legend in the past but a lack of updates or improvements caused me to lose interest. Given that I've now only gotten through the first two High School tournament games it is too early to tell whether the additions will change that feeling. Continue on for a recap of those two games and general thoughts on the mode thus far.

NCAA Football 10 Arriving Soon
I have been informed that a copy of NCAA Football 10 may be arriving today (update: I have a PS3 version on hand). Coverage will begin tomorrow if that is the case but likely won't be anywhere near as comprehensive as usual in these situations. I have limited time this weekend and then will be out of town all next week. There are also certain restrictions that have been placed on what can be covered. No videos or formal impressions of the game are allowed until early next week, so I'll try t...
