    There was a level of disappointment expressed when Teambuilder failed to receive any notable upgrades last year. The feature launched with NCAA 10 and was received really well - offering a good number of options for a first attempt with a surprising level of accessibility that made it fairly easy for anyone to create good looking original designs or re-creations.  (more…)...

    Details on the 2013 version of Teambuilder for NCAA Football 13 is expected to come down very soon - possibly as early as tomorrow. The word comes from EA Sports community manager Justin Dewiel who tweeted in response to questioning on when the site is set to launch and if any upgrades should be expected. The version of Teambuilder that tied into NCAA 12 - which launched last year on July 1 - was a bit of a disappointment with the only notable differences from the feature's introductio...

    Coming out of the Madden NFL 13 Pro-Am held late last week EA Sports has revealed some of the ratings for Barry Sanders, Michael Irvin, and Deion Sanders.

However they will instead be starting with ratings that reflect their skills and expectations when they ent...

    Supporters of South Alabama - and those who value authenticity in the NCAA Football series - were upset by the news that the school was left out of NCAA Football 13. South Alabama is one of four schools entering the FBS this season and for some inexplicable reason EA Sports was apparently unaware of this despite the process being set in motion a few years ago. In an attempt to make up for it EA has contacted South Alabama assuring them that they would "go above and beyond" what is typical...
