![]() You only play when the coach puts you on the field which can be frustrating but realistic. Your performance mostly determines your spot on the depth chart which you can move up by practising. You’re recruited based on your high school performance though I was able to choose from every team. Anyway, Erin and Kirk Herbstreit host a show about your football career from your high school playoffs through your graduation with your actual game highlights and analysis. ![]() The only thing is that the title, which became a joke in the blogosphere, is now slightly inappropriate because of that Erin Andrews nude video. Seriously, Erin’s name is all over the box and the PR material that EA Sports sent me. ![]() This is one of the big selling points because it’s hosted by Erin Andrews in a series of TV show style segments. There is also a revised Campus Legend feature (similar to NHL 09’s Be A Pro), now called Road to Glory. Maybe it’s because I’m not a big college football fan but I just don’t find recruiting as fun as pursuing a big trade or free agent in other dynasty modes. Fortunately, there is a lot of CPU help to get you through the recruiting if you would rather play games. If college football domination and micro-management are your thing, then you’ll get a lot out of it. Play a game, recruit, play a game, recruit, finish season, sign recruits. You juggle recruiting players for the future and dealing with winning a national championship. There is Dynasty and Online Dynasty which are the same thing except one is solely on your console and the other can be played online with/against 11 friends but both last 60 season of attempted domination. In addition to “Play Now” and some mini-games (which really helped me pick up the nuances of the game), there are two (technically three) career modes to play through. It’s easy enough except for passing (which is hard to direct) and fair catches (which don’t exist). Perform one play well and you can use the linked (or setup) play to trick the defence for a big gain. There is also a “Family Play” set of controls which maps everything to one button. Speaking of plays, there is are now “Setup” plays linked together. Every now and then, he (and your Road to Glory coach) picks something stupid but the easy to use audible setup makes life so much easier than my old Madden 03 game. I can’t go through all of them to pick the right one without getting a delay of game penalty every time so i just go with Ask Corso which works fairly well. The number of plays is utterly astronomical. The controls were different but somehow felt more natural so I can’t complain. Gameplay: The first thing that hit me when I played a game is that I haven’t played an EA Sports football game for a while. ![]() So do the changes make NCAA 10 the first must play college football game on PS3 or is it just another step in the right direction? Find out after the jump. Instead, EA Sports has gone big with this edition with two big new features and a major overhaul of another game mode. It’s easy to just sit back and only update the rosters and playbooks every season. The challenge with sports games like this is that, since it comes out every year, a lot of work has to go into it to keep it fresh. This year’s edition is the third on the PS3 which I’m reviewing it on. NCAA Football 10 is the 13th iteration of the critically acclaimed college football video game.
