NCAA 10 Make or break issue...

[GatorBait06NC]

The video looks great for this game. Problem is that all videos usually do.

Will the gameplay be smooth this year??? I hated the game chopping and freezing for a split second every time a defensive rebound was grabbed. I returned this game within days just because of how awful the gameplay was.

Both NCAA football and basketball suffer from slow, choppy, and irresponsive gameplay and menus. NCAA footballs playcall menu is the worst.

Will I be playing NCAA bball 10 this year, or still playing my college hoops 2k8????

I can't understand how people are waying their opinions of this game based on a video, does not mean alot.

Everything in the video was captured from playing actual games (In case that was one of your concerns). I'm guessing you are wondering more about how the gameplay feel. The best way for me to answer that is to say that when you play Live 10 you should get a good sense of how NCAA will feel as we are on the same gameplay engine for the second year now. Hope that helps.

First off, it is weighing not waying. And the guy above me is right, i wasnt weighing my opinions based off the the video. I was going from my experience with last years product.

Thanks. I appreciate a NCAA producer answering my post. The only problem is that I didnt play Live 09 other than the demo and the same thing goes with Live 10. Im a 2k guy in pro bball.

But since EA makes the only NCAA bball game i really have no choice. I noticed a small amount of freezing or framerate skipping when grabbing a defensive board and changing progression. The menus in college games are always choppy and irresponsive though.

But thanks again for answering. I hope this game will be good. Did you guys think of taking any ideas from the Madden team and make the college bball game more like what you see in real life. 2k8 had that tourney show and weekly show and all that. It was pretty good.

Re: NCAA 10 Make or break issue...

The thing thats gonna make or break this one for me is if you will still be able to tell if a shot is going in or not once it leaves youre hand. I had to return last years game after a week because I easily noticed that any time the ball had a special arc on it, it was always going in. No special arc, always missed. It ruined the game for me. I could put up with occasional lag here and there and other little problems, but not losing all the excitement of a game by knowing if a shot is going in or not. There was less telegraphing in Lakers vs. Celtics.

The videos this week will hopefully answer this question. Real life was a definite focus for us this year.

This has been fixed. Varied shot arcs for different players and no telling if the shot is a make or a miss once it leaves the shooter's hand like in 09. It makes a huge difference.

Jab_Step......were u guys able to fix most of the floors/stadiums...particularly Ohio State....that has been a factor in me playing 2k8 over NCAA 09

OH.. yeah my half asleep post, I was actually in agreement with your sentiments :wink:. Just did not "dawn"(third shift) on me at the time that my post would come across like that LOL. Thats what I get for posting when tired, I was trying to say that people should not judge the game so soon.

Thats good to hear, I was concerned about that.

Hopefully a better rim-ball interaction, totally absent last year as far as outside shooting is concerned (I mean when you hit the rim you knew yuo'd missed 100%).

Jab_Step, agin thanks for actually communicating with us.

Man I LOVE the presentation. Can you do the sports gaming world a favor and walk next door to the NCAA football dev team and give them some ideas on presentation. They need to copy what you guys are doing BIG TIME.

This is the first time in a while that im actually looking forward to a college hoops game.

Another question though, will the scheduling and conference scheduling be correct in this years game. Conference scheduling especially. The NCAA Football team has had conference scheduling wrong for years now, the the last 2k college bball game had the SEC scheduling wrong too. Instead of an SEC East team playing the East teams twice and west teams once, they would play just any 5 random SEC teams twice. It kinda sucked.

Once again, the NCAA BB team is in Canada, the NCAA FB team is in Florida...there is no next door stuff
