Honest Assessment of NCAA 10

For the 4th year in a row, NCAA has no changes to its pregame buildup. This is unacceptable. And for the 7th year in a row, NCAA has no changes to its commentary (with the exception of Erin Andrews). Madden has made leaps and bounds improvement in one year and NCAA has done nothing. You can all buy NCAA 10 but expect nothing more than NCAA 09 repackaged and costing 60 dollars. Pros: 1. NCAA added Erin Andrews to report sideline injuries. 2. Actual pocket is formed. 3. WR/DB interraction. 4. Band is on field. Cons: 1. No pregame, halftime, or postgame show. 2. No unsportsmanlike penalties for excessive celebrations. 3. No squib kicks. 4. No weekly recap show. 5. Band on field LOOKS horrible. 6. No major gameplay improvements. Bottom Line: This one doesn't even deserve a rent.

Are you bored or something? Is it selective memory? IMO, the MAJOR gameplay issues seem to have been resolved.

1. CPU Playcalling AI has been completely overhauled and even improved to ADAPT to your playcalling. Is that not a MAJOR gameplay improvement?

2. For the first time in about 4 years, the CPU will throw the deep ball! Especially if you like to stay in bump and run coverage. Another HUGE step forward.

3. What about the new Gameplan feature?

4. What about the improvements in Line Play?

5. No more Robo QB. They will actually throw incomplete passes.

6. The injury sytem from Madden 10 seems to be in there as well.

To each his own man, but looking at your list it seems that the "fluff" is more important to you than what happens on the field. I'd like to have ALL of those things as well, but fixing what they've fixed and adding bands, Erin, and we still don't know about team entrances, it's looking pretty good to me.

honestly and objectively compare Madden 10 and NCAA 10 and you will see that NCAA 10 is just a dud

sorry you can argue all you want, but that is just an idiotic statement to make without having played the games.

OK if somebody looks at all the feature, improvements, and videos(So far) and they dont like what they see isnt that they're opinion? So if they say Madden is better than NCAA clearly thats there opinion based on everything they have seen so far especially when you take in to account all the listening and applying Ian and company has been doing. So to make that statement may not ended up being true ,but based on all the facts its not as far off as your trying to make it sound.

Corso is a babbling idiot, give me Desmond or Jesse Parker
