PROJECTED NO.1 DRAFT PICK BLAKE GRIFFIN
NAMED COVER ATHLETE OF EA SPORTS NCAA BASKETBALL 10

Game Brings Added Depth to Team Styles of Play and Authenticity

Redwood City, Calif. – Tuesday, June 23, 2009 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that Blake Griffin, former Oklahoma Sooner and the projected top pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, will be the new face of EA SPORTS™ NCAA Basketball 10. Griffin has an explosive presence, exciting college stadiums with massive dunks, huge blocks, and aggressive rebounds, and was a natural choice to represent the college game as cover athlete for NCAA Basketball 10. Griffin is the consensus national Player of the Year, winning the Big 12, Associated Press, Naismith, Sporting News, and John Wooden Player of the Year awards, and led his team to an Elite Eight appearance in the 2009 March Madness Tournament, where they lost to eventual champions, UNC. The 2009 NBA Draft is presented by EA SPORTS.

“Seeing myself on the cover of NCAA Basketball 10 is such a great tribute to my time at Oklahoma,” said Griffin. “I loved playing in front of passionate fans and competing against some of the best schools in the country. Now I am looking forward to competing at the next level against the best players in the world.”

NCAA Basketball 10 brings the emotion, intensity, and spirit of college basketball by capturing every detail in the stadium, from cheerleaders and mascots to wild crowds and real NCAA Basketball announcers. NCAA Basketball 10 builds on a new game engine introduced last year, refining and improving core gameplay functions, and adding more depth to the popular ‘styles of play’ and ‘set your tempo’ features, making NCAA Basketball 10 a strategic and entirely unique basketball gameplay experience.

NCAA Basketball 10, which is licensed by The Collegiate Licensing Company, is currently in development under the EA SPORTS brand by EA Canada in Vancouver, B.C., and will be available in North America this holiday season. The game will be available for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, and Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. The game is not yet rated by the ESRB.

Around one minute mark you have a video of NCAA Basketball game with Blake Griffin.
The post interactions look good there - I'm assuming that's early footage of NCAA 10.
But concerning the screenshots: the players look too skinny! I don't get why EA hasn't changed it yet. They're horrible. I'll be stunned if they aren't changed by release-time.

If nothing else gets changed... please, please, please let them remove the "I'm With Stupid" signs... please.

My 360 hated last years game. Every game had about an 80% chance of locking up my console. I had similar problems with 08, but 09 was just terrible in that regard. It is the only game that has ever done that which is weird. So I can't really say how good 09 was since it was unplayable for me.

Im sure as always those screenshots are of the old models

They always do that in the beginning

Had the same thing happen, although it locked up every game during the 2nd half. The fix I found was to install it to my hard drive, and there was no freezing again.

I'm pretty sure Blake Griffin will be on the PS3 cover as well.

I see that screenshot with him in his Oklahoma uniform in-game. Will he be an unlockable player? I've always wanted to play with the cover athlete, but since they don't go to college anymore, I figured they wouldn't be in the game.

I don't care if they put Chuck Norris wearing a Jordan jersey on the cover. until they fix the crap gameplay and the horrible player models and animation why would I want to play it.

Just wanted to let everyone know that these screens are Blake's head on a body from NCAA Basketball 09. These are not the player models or players shaders that will be in NCAA 10.

Hey Jab Step, will we be able to add sig jumpers to created players in NCAA 10
 
# 33 Lynx34 @ 07/15/09 05:51 PM
Anyone else wish they could get some player interaction on the cover? Like show him burning past someone or dunking over another player's head. If they don't want to have to get the rights to another player, they could just put in some generic guy. They're already doing enough photoshop effects with it. Let's see some action!
