EA Sports NCAA 10 Update: Canes Roster

What’s up Legion, it’s your boy bg1906 and I have got an AWESOME NCAA 10 update for the gaming fanatics here today. NCAA 10 is slated for official release on July 14, but one of the awesome new features of this year’s NCAA 10 game is a feature called TeamBuilder. TeamBuilder is EA Sports marketing lingo for the former Create-A-School feature in their NCAA video game series. However, this isn’t your last gen create-a-school; it is 100% next gen, as EA is opening up an entire gamet of possibilities with TeamBuilder. One of the neatest features of TeamBuilder, is the ability to view the default rosters for your favorite team, in our case, The Miami Hurricanes.  I did just that and true to EA form, there are several numerical and roster/depth chart related mistakes.  But never fear, your resident Cane-a-holic and NCAA madman bg1906 has dissected the roster and will direct you into Canes heaven on NCAA 10.  First, let’s take a look at the roster and some key ratings for each player.

As you can see from the default roster, there are some numerical mistakes. Here is a quick list of those mistakes and the corrections for each player.

 

Number Edits

 

HB #7  - Lamar Miller - change to #27

HB #20 - Mike James - change to #22

CB #22 - Prince

Kent

- change to ??? (number not assigned yet)

CB #27 - Brandon McGee - change to #21

SS #39 - Jared Campbell - change to #37

RE #62 - Andrew Smith - change to #48

LT #77 - Brandon Washington - change to #72

TE #88 - Billy Sanders (number not assigned yet)

Taking an educated guess, I think Prince

Kent

is going to wear #14, while Jamal Reid (not in the game, will wear #15). As for Billy Sanders, the #88 is more than likely correct, as it has been reported that Sanders is a huge Jeremy Shockey fan)

bg1906’s Depth Chart Recommendations

 

As I said earlier, EA also had a few position/depth chart errors. Depth charts and position changes are totally subjective, so please don’t feel these are set in stone. Feel free to experiment and use the depth chart that makes the best use of the way you like to play. Based on ratings alone, this is what I think I’m going to do, as it maximizes the style of football I like to play.

Fans of the series know that speed and athleticism are both rewarded in the NCAA series. That fact alone directed some of my choices in starters, for example, starting Arthur Brown instead of Darryl Sharpton. Sharpton is only rated 1 pt higher than Brown, but Brown has superior speed, acceleration, and power ratings. I also like having power backs in opposed to speed backs, so I start Baby J over Coop, and I use Coop in various positions (HB, FB, Slot WR) on the offense to maximize the potential he has in creating mismatches. Again, use the line-up that maximizes what it is YOU like to do.

 

Well, I hope that you enjoyed this Canes preview, and be on the look out for my review of NCAA 10 for the Xbox 360 after game is released.

 

Later Legion and Go Canes!

The Canes haven't truly clicked on O since Kellen Winslow II's would-be game-winning Fiesta Bowl touchdown. Ken Dorsey proved irreplaceable and a year later, Brock Berlin had an up/down year under his belt while Rob Chudzinski was lured to Cleveland to coach tight ends for Butch Davis.

Whoooooo

please vote on poll:

http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_college_uf/

We are in Day 2 of our weeklong survey asking: What is the team of the decade (so far?)

As of 9:15 a.m. this morning, 1,249 votes have been cast, and the 2005 Texas team leads the pack. The 2008 Gators are No. 2, followed by the No. 3 Miami Hurricanes.

The poll will be open all week, so please vote. On Monday, I will debut my countdown to the greatest team of the decade on this blog, and feature the voters' results, too.
