NCAA 10 is not worth a rent right now IMHO. Compare it with Madden 10 which has totally owned NCAA in every possible way: improved gameplay, fumble pile ups, gang tackling, chain gang, refs on field, pregame, halftime, postgame show, injury carts, weekly studio show, etc. Everything NCAA has Madden has and more (oh wait, except for Season Showdown, oh yaaaaaaaaaaay).

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.
