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.
From the PlanetXbox360.com feature top list:
"With the release of NCAA ’13 happening just this past week, college football fans have a new installment to look forward to and spend countless hours with. It’s no doubt that the college game day atmosphere has been the most captivating experience in the NCAA football franchise. More recently NCAA has dominated the college football video game market, rivaling the next level Madden series, but what about the others? In truth, this titanic football series tends to dwarf other college football gaming competition with relentless annual releases and more realistic and detailed game play. So, look no further NCAA football fans and prepare yourselves for nostalgia overload as we present the top ten greatest college football games of all-time."
Microsoft Store is offering free NCAA Football 10 for Xbox 360 when you purchase Madden NFL 10 for Xbox 360. That's savings of more than 40% if you would purchase these items separately.
Microsoft orders/buys a sh+tload of them to sell or give away.
...and in this case, a little of both.
The NCAA team wants your opinions on Gameplay. The designer for NCAA Football 10 wants you to post your feeling and thoughts on certain gameplay elements.
Keep staying classy, Milkcroshaft. We wouldn't have the lols today without you or Nintendo's retarded senselessness.
