Where I Come From: EA Sports NCAA Football 11 Hits Shelves Today

And so the day is upon us: NCAA Football 11 hits shelves today everywhere. Go pick up a copy and rebuild Maryland into a powerhouse.

EA Sports has one quick thing to mention:

When you go to a particular school or grow up around college football, you are more than just a fan. It's who you are. We thought we could leverage this pride in your roots and show that "where you come from" is more than just a statement about geography. By positioning NCAA Football 11 as a game that understands this pride and is authentic to these traditions, the takeaway should be that anything that is in college football is in NCAA Football 11.

And this doesn't just include game play (though that's a huge part of it). It's rivals and mascots; it's legends and stories. It's those things that are at the very fabric of the game itself. Of course the game is great this year as well. With authentic entrances, mascots and specific offenses for each team, the term "where I come from" takes on a much larger meaning. While playing NCAA Football 11 is ultimately a great sports sim, it should also give you a sense of the pride and emotion one has for being a fan of a team they will never not be a part of.

Well, this whole thing killed a week-and-a-half. Hope you enjoyed it; I know I did.

By the way, would anyone getting the game be interested in an online dynasty?
