    As hoped for the big online announcement for Madden 10 was the inclusion of Online Franchise mode. Rather than if  Peter Moore would be revealing Online Franchise the main question going in centered around whether it would be as fully featured as consumers would associate with a mode by such a name. Based on the trailer shown at the EA press conference and the audience reaction it appears this will not be a let down. Announced on stage at the EA E3 2009 press conference, Madden NFL 10 On...

    As I alluded to in the E3 preview there was the distinct possibility that Teambuilder would launch during the event. That has in fact occurred as the site is now up and open. Click here to visit and begin creating on the Teambuilder website for NCAA Football 10! I'm definitely interested in seeing what people come up with so feel free to leave info about your teams in the comments. The Pastapadre community team is coming together in the forum where members have taken on positions on the t...

    Road to Glory in NCAA Football 10 is the reinvention of Campus Legend mode with news on it being held back until late June. Knowing that, there is certainly a lot more to be detailed than what was provided in the retailer feature listing for the game which is vague and just offers a general idea of what to expect. Settle who's number one once and for all with NCAA Football 10. With the eyes of college football upon you, begin your Road to Glory in a fully customizable career mode featuring ...

    As noticed in the video revealing online co-op in Madden 10 last night lead designer Ian Cummings makes reference to Online Franchise. Obviously most are now expecting that Online Franchise is the big announcement coming on Monday. It does seem likely, though I remain somewhat hesitant to jump right in to that assumption and get my hopes up too high. Given that EA isn't going to clarify anything to do with online co-op until Monday that makes me believe that the two are tied together in s...

    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. Those include gameplanning, setup plays, and defensive keys. These are all areas that users will adjust or utilize each game providing more options and ways to attack an opponent. You can check out the full posting here. With NCAA Football 10 strategy takes on a huge role with three new g...

    Earlier tonight on GameTrailers TV one of the new online related features for Madden 10 was revealed. The game will have online co-op! Keep in mind that what has been described as the bigger of the two online announcements is being saved for the E3 press conference on Monday. Online co-op is something I've been hoping for Madden to incorporate for a few years now. It sounds as though it will be limited to two people facing off against the CPU or two people against two other people so it'l...

    IGN has posted up the first gameplay video from Madden 10. In it the Eagles visit Dallas in the new Cowboys Stadium. Amongst what can be seen is pre-game, the coin-toss, a fumble pile-up, adjusted camera, and how Pro-Tak is positively affecting multiple areas of the game. Much is skipped over so it doesn't display the full scope of the upgrade to presentation that will be seen in the build at E3. Continue on to watch the video and leave your thoughts in the comments.

  • 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.ÂÂ...
