and Trophies New Strategy Features Season Showdown Introduction

Chapter 1—New Features

NEW FEATURES INTRODUCTIONCollege football is one of the most popular sports in America today for good reason. With college football you have great rivalries like Florida vs. Florida State, Texas vs. Oklahoma, USC vs. Notre Dame, and Ohio State vs. Michigan—games packed with tens of thousands of screaming fans who spend the whole game standing to cheer for their teams. College football is full of traditions like the Florida State fl aming spear, Yell Practice at Texas A&M, and tailgating at The Grove on the Ole Miss campus. Once again, EA SPORTS steps up to the plate and delivers all of what makes NCAA Football the greatest game in the country. In this strategy guide, we teach you fundamentals of football and then deliver the hard-core tips you need to take your game to the next level. Let’s get started with what’s new in NCAA Football 10.

SEASON SHOWDOWNJust about everything you do in NCAA Football 10 affects Season Showdown, so this is a natu-ral place to begin talking about new features. At it’s core, Season Showdown is a massive com-petition combining Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and EA SPORTS World members as they put their favorite teams on the line to prove who has the greatest fan base in the country. At the beginning of the game you pick the team you will represent. Be sure here—your choice is permanent.

Choose wisely; you only get one chance

SCHEDULE FORMAT AND PHASES

When NCAA Football 10 first hits the street, there will be some lead time before the regular college football season begins. This phase of the game counts as the “pre-season.” You can earn credits for your school by playing online or vs. the CPU. The credits each school earns will help to establish the beginning leaderboard. Everything you do in the game affects your team’s credits. You can also go to http://seasonshowdown.eas-ports.com to play the NCAA Trivia Challenge. Answering questions correctly will help your team move up the leaderboard. You want to get your school to the top of the leaderboard at the start of the regular season because its initial poll ranking will refl ect where the school ended up on the leaderboard at the end of the pre-season. At the beginning of the regular season, your team faces off against its real-life opponent. Each matchup lasts for one week. Each week you’ll have a new opponent with new polls to be released on Monday. The fi rst week of December will be Conference Championship week. This week won’t refl ect the real-life games—it’ll be down to which teams won their divisions in the Season Showdown series.

School rankings leaderboard

WINNING YOUR MATCHUP

Each weekly matchup is broken down into fi ve categories. Whichever team takes three or more of these categories wins the matchup for the week. Here are the different categories:

� Games vs. CPU: Games against the CPU earn your team credits. � Games vs. Your Showdown Opponent: Games played online against players repre-senting your opponent’s school affect the matchup. � Games Online vs. the Nation: Games played online against players not representing your opponent’s school count, too. � NCAA Trivia Challenge: Earn credits for your school by showing your college football knowledge. Only your top score for the week counts, and your goal is to fi nish in the top 50 for your school that week. � Allies & Rivals: Every day of the week you can log in and have fi ve votes to use how-ever you want. You can vote for your school and against other teams in your conference.

� EARNING CREDITS

Showdown creditsOne of the key ways that you earn credits in Season Showdown is by playing games. How you play the game is just as important as winning games. You earn credits win or lose; however, extra credits can be earned in the following cat-egories: Skills, Strategy, Sportsmanship, Loyalty, Underdog, and ESPN Instant Classics.

� Skills: Season Showdown rewards you for making plays yourself. User catches, user sacks, user picks, etc. all provide you with extra credits. In addition, making plays while in Player Lock mode will give you an even bigger boost. � Strategy: Using the Game Plan feature, set-ting up plays, and utilizing defensive keys result in extra credits. See the New Strategy. � Features section for tips

DEFENSIVE CONTROLS NCAA Football 10 packs a comprehensive set of defensive controls that you can use to put the offense on lock-down. Before you dive into the game, take a few minutes to review the most common ones.

AUDIBLEXbox 360: 3PlayStation 3: oSuccess on the fi eld is based on communication. Use the Audible button to get your team into a more suitable play call when you spot a tell in your opponent’s offensive setup.

EPLAY STRATEGIES

We wait for him to get about 12–15 yards up the fi eld. Once he does, we throw a bullet pass and press the left thumbstick hard to the left. When we say left, think of your controller as a clock. You want to press the stick to the nine o’clock position. The quarterback throws the ball towards the sideline.

Take control of your receiver

As soon as the ball leaves the quarterback’s hands, manually take control of the receiver.

Hold down the Catch button

As the ball is coming down, hold the Catch/Jump button and turn the receiver towards the quarter-back. Some players hold the right and left triggers down while making the catch.

Turn the receiver back to the ball

If you time things properly, the receiver jumps straight up and grabs the pass in front of the defender.

� e receiver goes up high for the rocket catch

The hard-core gaming community calls this ani-mation the rocket catch.

MINI JETPACKAnother popular route players like to user catch with is the streak route. We are going to use the streak route to show how to “mini jetpack.” This is another popular passing catching animation used by many top-level players. We come out in the Shotgun Normal and hot route the split end on a streak.

Here’s the play we are using

The defense comes out in Dime Normal—2 Man Under. This type of coverage does a pretty good job of covering the streak because the safeties play over the top. However, it’s not as effective against the streak if the receiver is taken control of by a player who knows how to user catch. Once the ball is snapped, the split end gets inside

position on the right cornerback. Instead of throw-ing a bullet or deep lob pass, we want to pass lead the ball to the inside. If you are looking at your controller as a clock, throw the ball with the left thumbstick pushed to the 3 o’clock position. The quarterback will now throw the pass towards the middle of the fi eld.

Work the receiver inside

As soon as the ball is thrown, take control of the receiver and cut him inside of the right cornerback and free safety. Also hold down the Catch/Jump button. As the ball comes down, the receiver goes up and snatches the pass out of the air.

Our receiver makes the mini jetpack catch

This takes some timing to get down, because if you don’t cut right the pass will be overthrown. Spend some serious time with this catch animation and you will be able to beat both man and zone cov-erage more consistently.

MANUAL CATCHING One the most important ways you can improve your stick skills (and passing attack) is to learn to user catch. Obviously not every pass route is one you will want to manually catch, but many times you can improve your chances of making a completion by user-catching. In this section of the guide, we look at a few of the more common user catch ani-mations that you will want to learn.

ROCKET CATCHThe fade route is the easiest route to learn to manually catch. One of our favorite pass route combinations to use when running the fade route is the streak/fade combination. This route combi-nation works best against Cover 2 and Cover 3 zone defenses. In this example we have called a play from the Shotgun Normal, and have hot routed the split end on a fade and the slot receiver on a streak.

� e streak/fade combo

Once the ball is snapped, the split end takes an outside release towards the left sideline and then breaks straight down the fi eld.

After spreading the defense out, there are fewer defenders packed in to defend against the inside run, which makes this play a perfect run choice in third and short situations.

Here is one of the better outside run plays in the game—provided that the running back has the speed to get outside where there should be ample running room.

This is a low-risk pass play that works best against zone coverage. Look to get the ball quickly out of the quarterback’s hands and into the receiver’s grasp.

Ace SpreadHB Dive

This pass play works best against man coverage. Look for one of the backs to get open as soon as they break towards the sideline.

The Strong Flood overloads one side of the fi eld with multiple receivers run-ning routes at three different levels. This works best against zone coverages.

The Shallow Cross is a good short pass-ing play that beats both man and zone coverage. Look for one of the receivers running the crossing routes to get open.

TEAM INTRODUCTION

The Texas Christian University Horned Frogs football program has proven itself to be one of the best teams outside of the major conferences in the last 10 years. To continue this type of success WR#85 needs a big season as the team’s chief playmaker on the offen-sive side of the ball. On defense, TCU has two impact players: LE#98 is one of the best pass rushers in the nation and can dis-rupt even the strongest passing offenses in the game. He’s not the best cornerback in the game, but CB#10 has enough speed to keep opposing receivers in check.

The Power O is a good outside run play that sends the tight end in automotion to the right side. The left guard pulls to add extra run blockers.

The Iso is a straight up power run play that has the halfback following the full-back through the A gap between the center and right guard.

This pass play works best against man coverage, with the slot receiver running a crossing route. Look for him to be open as he comes over the middle.

If Cover 2 or Cover 3 coverage is called, look for the slot receiver running the wheel. The outside receiver’s post route will draw the cornerback in, leaving the slot receiver open.

This is a good short-yardage passing play against zone coverage that gets the tight end open quickly. His stick route is also tough against man coverage.

This pass play works well against both man and zone coverage. If man coverage is called, look for the slot receiver as he drives over the middle on his drag route.

TEAM INTRODUCTION

If Florida State wants to get back playing BCS bowl games, the offense has to produce. It all starts with their junior quarterback and sophomore running back. QB#7 has the speed and a good enough arm to get it done. HB#38 has a good burst of speed to bust off long runs, but he needs to be more consistent fi nd-ing open holes. As green as the Seminoles’ offense is, the defense is just as green if not greener. If they can keep oppos-ing offenses from posting big numbers, Florida State could end up being ranked in the national top 10 and grab one of those the elusive BCS berths.

RUNNING MOVESTo have a solid running game you need to master the basic running moves. This section will help you under-stand the importance of each move and teach you the right situation to use each one. Timing and using the proper angles will make the difference between a failed move and a great escape.

JUKE MOVEXbox 360: Left or right on the right thumbstick PlayStation 3: Left or right on the right thumbstick

An ankle-breaking juke move

The juke is a quick cutting move that is used to change direction rapidly. The juke is best used when cutting back or to slide past an aggressive defender. You’re not limited to doing just one juke at a time. You can also perform double juke moves when you’re dealing with more than one defender.

BACK JUKEXbox 360: Down on the right thumbstick PlayStation 3: Down on the right thumbstick

Our back juke causes the defender to overcommit

Abuse an overly aggressive defender with a back juke. You won’t pull this move out much, but it’s nice to have in your tool bag.

HURDLEXbox 360: 4

PlayStation 3: i

Jumping over trouble

This is a tool you may not use much, but it can come in handy near the end zone or when a pile is in your way. This move slows you down, but if no one is in front of you when you hurdle then you are off to the races. By add-ing the hurdle to your arsenal, you can abuse opponents who dive at you instead of delivering a square hit. The downside is, if you mistime it, you will get cracked! You are totally exposed in the air.

HIGHLIGHT STICKXbox 360: Up on the right thumbstick PlayStation 3: Up on the right thumbstick

� e defender whiffs on the tackle

If you have a nimble back he will slip tackles. If you have a power back he will drop his shoulder and power through the defender. If you have a back who can do both, then you have a very special player. You now double your ability to avoid tacklers while pounding the rock.

SPIN MOVEXbox 360: 2

PlayStation 3: o

A quick spin beats the defender

The spin is the best way to get past a defender when you don’t want to lose forward momentum. Nothing is better than a quick spin move to blow past a defender in the open fi eld. This is also a timing-based move that many quicker backs can use to break off long gains. The spin move has to be the best one of the bunch once you get it down correctly. Beware of the strip. The defense can rip the ball out if they try to strip right as you exe-cute a spin move.

A quick spin beats the defender

STIFF ARMXbox 360: 1

PlayStation 3: u

A wicked stiff arm puts the defender in the dirt

This is a no-nonsense move. The stiff arm is all about putting the defender’s face in the dirt or snapping his neck back. When you’re heads up with a defender or when a defensive player is coming off a block to land a blow, there is nothing better than a good stiff arm to the chops. This move provides you with space and takes the defender completely out of the play. This move does slow you down when you deliver a hard shot. DBs aren’t the only ones who can get a facial. You can stiff arm defensive linemen as well as linebackers.
