NCAA Football 10 Strategy Additions
While this week's blog for NCAA Football 10 is titled Season Showdown Strategy it thankfully has little to do with the Season Showdown mode and concentrates on the new strategy based additions to the game.

Bands in NCAA Football 10
One presentation addition for NCAA Football 10 that hasn't been discussed much is team specific bands that will appear prior to the start of the games. At this point it's unknown which schools will have their personalized bands however the official website for NCAA has started posting up a "Band of the Day". If one were to be posted every weekday up to release that would mean 30+ schools would have their own band formation. The first video went up earlier today and features Ohio State. ...

NCAA Football 10 Dynasty Improvements
This week's Inside EA Blog posting for NCAA Football 10 covers many of the improvements that have been made to dynasty mode. The video that came out earlier this month (which was inaccurately advertised as being an online dynasty overview) only offered a glimpse at what was new this year while not really touching on the specific improvements that have been made.
