You can be the on-field coach and all players as you have since football videogames came into existence. In NCAA Football 10, you have many roles to play: you can be a head coach, worrying about who to scout and recruit to make your school (and your job!) secure for years. Besides, nothing gets the crowd hotter than a few big plays and their school's name in a January game!
This atmosphere is brought very well to NCAA Football 10, but you must remember not to lose sight of the rules of the game. Fight songs and school-specific cheers and mascots give the NCAA atmosphere that, simply put, will never be found in the professionals. The NFL has excitement from the draft, trades, and multi-million-dollar contracts, but the NCAA has excitement from the purity of the sport and the passion of the players. Most of us at IGN are rabid sports fans, but football has a special place in this guide writer's heart, regardless of level.
