I love me some football - Especially of the college variety. The game just seems to mean so much more to these guys. They're playing for their hopeful professional futures, their schools and pride - not the next big contract or the millions of dollars in endorsements. This is what really draws me to college ball.
It's been about 2 years since I picked up NCAA Football, so I wasn't sure what to expect this year having read nothing about it. Immediately I jumped into the "Road to Glory" (previously known as Campus Legend) and created myself a player. From there, they put you in the shoes of your player in the midst of the State championships tournament where you have to put on your best show for the college scouts.
The ongoing controversy over language filtering on Xbox Live has another curious manifestation - rosters that EA Sports' TeamBuilder auto-names get filtered when they're imported into the Xbox Live version of NCAA 10.
As an example, the above player was auto-named "Jason Gay" at the online TeamBuilder site. But imported into the Xbox 360 version, the player was renamed "Jason XXX." Users may manually change the name back in all modes of play into which created teams are imported, both online and offline.
The filtering, however, does make EA Sports look like it's demonizing the word, a delicate and persistent issue in online gaming. But in fact, EA's code has no problem with it; in the game, play-by-play man Brad Nessler says the name for players who have it.
Keep staying classy, Milkcroshaft. We wouldn't have the lols today without you or Nintendo's retarded senselessness.
Skewed and Reviewed have posted their review of NCAA 10. Despite some issues with the A.I. The enjoyed the mini games and strategy of the game as well as the online play.
PlayStation LifeStyle writes, "In just over a week, PlayStation LifeStyle will be reporting live from the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). We've been trying to get a handle on the plethora of PlayStation games that will be on display from June 2 through June 4, and it's quite astounding. If you weren't excited about the prospect of new announcements for the PlayStation brand, what if we told you there will be over 75 unique PlayStation games on display - that we know about?! While many are multiplatform titles (though the best still appear to be Sony-exclusive), it is a large increase from last year's showing."
MS has been eerily quiet.
They either have nothing, or they got something so good that it's gonna blow people away.
That's right! M$ Has to have something big up its sleeves.. I have never seen them so quiet on the game front before. But Sony does have some great momentum!...
alongside White Knight Chronicles since it will be coming to the U.S. this fall.
LOL Microsoft has some top secret area 51 type secrecy going on lolz.
They dont want to scare the competition so they'll be hush hush all year.
Oh dont worry, Microsoft is going to have a great showing.
Sony's sounds really good too. This e3 is going to rock.
I think MS definitely has some tricks up their sleeves. These past couple of weeks going into E3, everything seems like it's been going perfectly for Sony. If just half of the rumors turn out to be true, Sony crushes the competition. I just don't think MS has been resting on their laurels this past year waiting for all this to happen. They have some things coming, but this year their major announcement can't simply be a multiplatform title.
I think 95% certain that MS will have a HUGE announcement at E3, that will prob 'STEAL' the show, as they did last year.
But people forget Sony still had a great E3, they had a lot of games to show and loved the way they showed their stats and boring stuff using LBP - wasnt boring at all. Really they had the better conference and showing, but since MS had such a big announcement, as i said they "stole" the show.
This year i think it will be the same, MGS 360, i know noone believes me but its the only thing that could "steal" the show again, hopefully Sony has a few suprise announcements too.
If Sony release a FW update a few hours before the MS conference that includes in-game voice chat, LOADS more avatars, profile upgrade, faster in-game XMB etc then i think that would keep people buzzing about it, even if MS announce MGS, people will be like - "so look at what we have now" sort of thing lol...ok im rammbling, but hey would be a good move.
I dont get it. What did MS do to "win" E3 last year? Why do people believe in them so much? What has MS done for you? Did they give you free xbox live or did you pay? All these questions with no answer except the last one was rhetorical.
E3, less than 10 days away.
I am gonna miss the PS.Blog meet up, my flight lands early Monday morning. :(
Once I land it's straight to the EA Press Conference, then Ubisoft.
How bout straight to the ps3 slim for some pics or is that on another day.
Edit I thin sonys on tues. Hey sev have fun I might go there and try to steal someones pass. chump some kid in the corner ya know
From my previous e3 events with IGN, there's a good karaoke bar called Brass Monkey off of Mariposa Avenue. It's likely to have more than a few of the people from E3 there each night, specifically the devs and pr people who couldn't get into the big parties. Just make sure if you go to pay cash, some of the waitresses don't know to handle credit card tabs all that great.
Sev, if you get a chance to eat near the convention centre, and you happen to like steaks, i can heartily recommend Arnie Morton`s Steakhouse! Fabulous!
@ Antan,
I didn't realize there was a Morton's Steakhouse nearby. I will definitely be going there. :)
Thanks for the tip!
That steakhouse is a favorite hang out of the IGN team, which is fitting as you should introduce yourself to them, Sev. They spoke of us on Podcast Beyond, but seemed to be unclear on who we were. Therefore an introduction seems fitting.
@raztad There was a playstation magazine stating it was confirmed for PS3 but I haven't seen or heard about it since.
Especially after the amazing TRICO reveal. So many good games coming out this year and into the next. After the high quality title that is Demon's Souls, I am looking forward to FROM SOFTWARE's next game.
