Hi, my name is Kevin, and I am addicted to NCAA Basketball 10.
I just wanted to create a thread for those of us who are actually enjoying this year's game. Now, I will say that college basketball games are my favorite. Its my favorite sport, so naturally its usually the game that is in my gaming console the most. This goes back all the way to Coach K, my first love!
Now, over the recent years, I have been mainly a 2K College Hoops player, however, I have always been one of the few that has always pulled for EA to come out with a decent game. I would always end up giving their game a shot as I always saw potential there (I was probably one of just a few here that enjoyed some of the March Maddness series). But for the most part, I've been all about 2K. Last year being the first year without the 2K college baskeball, I decided to commit to NCAA 09 and I had a blast with it. But this year, I was really missing a lot of the elements (mainly the legacy mode) that CH2K8 gave me. So I went back and re-purchased CH2K8 even though I was enjoying NCAA 10. I am still amazed at some of the stuff CH2K8 has in that game and how incredibly DEEP the legacy mode is. I was all set to return to my legacy and just have this be my college Basketball game of choice for this year. But after playing a game or two of College Hoops, I pop NCAA 10 back in, and I am instantly drawn in by the gameplay and presentation. I have just really grown to like EA's player movement over 2K's. I love the use of the freestyle stick 10x's more than isomotion.
This drives me crazy!!!! How can I be so addicted to a game that has less features, less animations, painfully inaccurate roster ratings, less options, a weaker dynasty mode (which is all I play btw...I don't play online or against anyone)....how can this be? I really don't know the answer, but all I can say is that somehow, someway, this game keeps my interest like no other. It seems that I have caught lightning in a bottle for the 2nd straight year because I have yet to have any freezes (didn't have this problem with freezing in 09 either). But I don't know, this game just keeps pulling me back and its ashame that this may be the last because I feel that the jump that this series made from 2 years ago have been amazing! They were definitely on to something and definitely on the right track with this series!
So, sorry for the long post....but for those of us who actually do enjoy the game, let's just post in here exactly what keeps us coming back to it? What are the things you like about NCAA 10? Got any good game or dynasty stories, post 'em here. I just wanted to create a positive thread for this game. I don't think that this game has enough "little things" to make an 'NCAA 10: the little things thread', but this is more of the "positive things" thread. I know there are issues, but there are other threads for that. If you don't like this game, please stay out! This is a private club ;-)
(yes, I do realize that this may be a very small club lol)
