the 23 zone has not been fixed there is still too many deflections, maybe sliders will fix this anybody know if in 09 if u turned down the steal sliders that it would fix the deflections?

No I tried different things, I could not get it to work right in 09. Too many deflections.

Seriously this game has improved 10 fold...

I'm REALLY liking this one guys...

The presentation,graphical style ,movement and animations all click.

It's not A+ stuff but it sure is solid stuff.

Can't wait for the full retail.

Something about it that makes it feel fun like CH2k2 on gamecube. And THATS a compliment coming from me I absolutely loved that game.

I can't say that I'm overwhelmed by the demo from my first couple of games. It doesn't have the same polish that Live does. It seems like everyone on the floor moves quickly. I was running around with the centers from both teams and they didn't feel too much different from my other players. Commentary is garbage. If I cop this I'd have to turn it off like in Madden.

I play with baseline high in Live and they don't have that in this game. They have similar views but they are too far back. The one thing I do like about this game is how crisp the analog passing is. It seems to always hit your man on target. However, at this point that alone wouldn't be enough to make me pick this up. I'll have to give it some more burn later..

Pappy, I agree with this 110%!

I was reading the first 3 pages of impressions and couldnt help thinking, "Am I playing the same demo as everyone else?" Before your post, I dont recall reading one comment about what you just said.

The very first things I noticed about the game left me completely underwhelmed. I just couldnt help thinking that the gameplay engine felt a few years old and lacked polish.


Players look bit overly bulky as if the design team evaluated previous year's players and said we need to beef them up

Gameplay feels artificially sped up and stiff rather than a more natural realistic quick paced college game.

Range of motion and player movement feels very limited a little too precanned

Some of the passing down court looks horrendously unnatural like straight bullet passes rather than having amore natural trajectory to them

Players under the boards have that Pop Tart toaster oven spring to their jumps that was carried over from the previous engine

The splash screens, pop ups, commentary...... everything just feels like its running at 1.5X speed

I completely agree that the gameplay and animations feels like a step back from Live.....and is even further back from the natural lifelike feel of 2K10

I didnt get that...."WOW this game is so devilishly addictive" feel that I got when playing CH2K8 or even Live 10 for the first time

However, I do think the CBS presentation adds tremendously to the presentation of the game


Im somewhat dissapointed....

They've captured the college spirit though...

College ball is fast. the game feels calculated as well because plays stop and wait to be developed.

The lack of polish was in 07 08 AND 09. This year completely different feeling. YES it's taken on a more arcade approach and far less sim. BUT I never felft a college game could be played sim due to the fact that how ard it was to make and create real players/rosters for a college game. This way what EA have done is just captured the spirit of your favorite team so that you can play a good round with them.

i thoroughly enjoy it and can not wait for the retail...

Seriously NBA Live is good at "trying" to be sim but it still offers great gameplay the way this game does. It's just that NCAA Basketball 2010 is much more honest with it's approach. The graphical UPGRADE and thats what i like calling it is very smooth looking. and the presentation?! Ohh man it sounds and looks great. Don't know how repetive the dialogue might get but right now the best in any college game so far other than a real one being broadcast on CBS lol.

Not A+ stuff but solid...

Couldn't have said this better myself. I so agree. I played a couple of games and went back to LIVE. Thought to myself, well it is only a demo, I am sure they retail copy will be far more polished.

I've seen people mention both they have seen too many deflections when playing the 2-3 zone and those saying they haven't seen an abundance of deflections while playing 2-3...does anyone else have any thoughts on this.

Would it be possible for someone to post a vid of them playing nothing but 2-3 zone defense the entire game?

This was an issue last that could be corrected to a degree with sliders(I hate sliders), but could never truly be eliminated.

Crowd is horrible. I'm Duke, I have the ball, game is tied with 20 seconds to go. Camera zooms out, screen shakes and it makes it hard to concentrate. I hit the last second shot and literally no explosion of crowd noise. Kind of disappointing. Hopefully the crowd reacts more realistically in the retail game. They should be going nuts when the visiting team has the ball and they should chant when the home team has the ball.
