NCAA Basketball 10: 5 Things to Know

[Jab_Step]

ESPN has posted an article on the 5 things you need to know about NCAA Basketball 10.

"There isn't a sport more desperate for a video game makeover than college basketball. In fact, it can be argued that EA Sports is still trying to "catch up" to the best college hoops game ever made, "Coach K." Only problem is, that game was published more than ten years ago, and if you're trying to play "catch up" to a decade-plus-old experience, well, that says a lot about your product over the past few years.

But according to "NCAA Basketball 10" line producer Connor Dougan, all of that is about to change. While EA actually made great strides with the 09 version, it's "NCAA Basketball 10" that he says will finally make the college franchise feel fresh, "and not just play like a pro game with college uniforms."

Re: Interview on ESPN.com

I am loving the fact that they implemented the locomotion that is found in Live. Gonna improve this game quite a bit by that fact alone.

Re: Interview on ESPN.com

ESPN and CBS. PLUS separate announcing teams for each network!



BTW, this screen is unrealistic though, Duke does not play tough OOC games on the road.

The new automatic offensive systems sound wicked awesome. Teams can finally run their authentic offense without having to call a play every time.

I'm recognizing a lot of this info from NCAA wishlists too. Kudos to the developers for making our dreams come true.

LOL I know what you mean. I didn't think this was possible but EA done did it. My mind has been blown.



EDIT: I just logged on about 20 minutes ago and I already know before I even go to the Madden Forums that people are probably going nuts right now begging Ian to have Monday Night Football ESPN Presentation and Sunday Night Football NBC Presentation for next year's game, Lol.

Re: Interview on ESPN.com

One question for Jab Step: On the intro screenshot on the first page of this thread, if we change names of our players (i.e. real names) will they change on the intro screen and the stat overlays? Also, will names be on jerseys? I didn't see anything but the number in the video.

Re: Interview on ESPN.com

Wow, this sounds amazing.

I might buy an EA basketball game this year for the first time in a while.

Any clue if this might have a Selection Sunday Show? I LOVE the presentation implementation of CBS and ESPN this year, so I will admit I'd be sad if they didn't bother to put in the selection show as well.

I'd also love a pre-season show, but that may be asking too much for one year. I am probably getting this game though because my UK Wildcats will be good on it, just hoping for the Selection show...that is college basketball guys, it's awesome.
