    Re: NCAA Basketball 10: New Feature Revealed, Interview & Trailer (IGN)

    @Yanks: Cameron Indoor is number 5. Too low, even I can admit that. Should be ahead of UNC, who should NOT be the hardest place to play. Top 5, but not number 1.

    But, I hope they have the Duke hand thing in the game for an inbounding pass so I can just laugh at how stupid it looks.

      I guess we shouldn't comment or complain on this "toughest places to play" thing since they are basing it on 2009/2010. Oh wait a minute...the 2009/2010 season HASN'T EVEN STARTED. Rosters, schedules, etc are based on 2009/2010. The toughest places to play has to be based on recent atmosphere--not predicted, future atmosphere because said team is supposed to be good this year. If that's the case I guess So. Carolina needs to be on there since they'll have a better team than last year's.

      And I know fans voted on this. I'm just asking how knowledgeable these fans really are. "Oh we got this new player and this new coach so we should be on the list." Okaaaaaaaaaay...

      Duke is going to have a down year by Duke's standards. I know they have a lofty ranking but don't they always? And what has happened recently? They burn out at the end. But even though I'm a UNC fan, Duke should be high on the list not because the game is based on 2009/2010--if that was the case they should drop. No, Duke should be high on the list because of what I stated earlier--their recent atmosphere.

        Can this option be turned off?

        I would never use it. In fact I would hate to have to use it. Please make it an option not a forced feature.

          nice conversation. so many factors and ways you can go about looking at this.

          do you go by:
          -top attendance %.
          -top atmospheres on big game days
          -top atmospheres on normal game days
          -how hard it is for a good team to come in and go out with a win?

          my schools arena could be a top 5 when they face top 10 teams as those are the "big games" or even against tough conference foes. but there off games, its like any other arena, even though they average in the top 20 in attendance.

          you can also play into question about historically speaking how tough some venues are and compare with common day, to see if they live up to that hype.

          its a perfect job for a intern to get in and do some fun investigating.

          looking at some of the pits "trophy lists":

          -Hoops America back in '99 listed LOUDEST college arena venues.
          -SI listed top 20 venues of the 20th century (does that even matter in regards to atmosphere?)

          -Foxsports: Top 10 old school arenas
          -Rivals.com: top 16 home court advantages

          Nice pit momento:

            I like this idea, the voting sucked but, I would love to have that feeling of facing the crowd as well.

              I like the idea if I'm going into Duke I want it to be tough as hell to play in, i don't want a game where playing @ Duke feels the same as playing @ Savannah St.

                A great idea . . . or they could average all of those lists, or at least give more weight to the toughest places to win on the road at.

                  found the links to those articles I noted:

                  10 great places to get pumped for NCAA action

                  Sis top 20 venues of the 20th century: (only lists cameron and the pit)

                  http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=1974962

                  As part of their Student Spirit Week, ESPN.com ran an article on “favorite arena atmospheres.”


                  If one were to catalog all of what they found, you would have over 40-50 schools listed in some fashion. A top 20 list does noone justice.

                  A top 3 per conference would be Great. for the smaller no name conferences, you could likely go by winning percentage at home combined with attendance/capacity figures.

                      Syracuse?

                      so tough to play in, that a D-II team from the same city can come in and beat the 'Cuse on their own court:
