NCAA Basketball 10 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions (PS3/360)

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions (360)

Ugh.

I was disappointed with the movement of the players. I could not distinguish the quickness between guards and big men. #55 Duke (Zoubek right?) was playing like Carmelo Anthony. Dribble drives and pull up J's off the dribble.

Basically it seemed like every player could make every play the other players could. Even these high level teams like Duke and UNC don't have players that can all play like that.

This game is fairly solid but the individuality of players is severly missing. Slow moving centers should not move like Lottery pick guards.

I hope the full version is better with edits.

I don't get some of you guys telling me it's not worth $60. It maybe isn't to you guys, but it definitely is to me. The gameplay is better than CH2K8 and it has college teams. Awesome. Plus I have a created league I am going to do, and probably create college players also. I won't use dynasty mode just quick play, and tournament mode. So I don't care about dynasty. The gameplay is very good to me, so don't try and convince me it's not. There are a few minor problems, but they can be fixed in a patch. If the speed is a problem for every player feeling the same, I will do a roster project downgrading people's speed and agility to help other people. For example, I will downgrade Zoubeks speed until he is extremely slow compared to guards. I will also lower his ball handling, agility, and other things tremendously. If NCAA 10 is doing roster updates then possibly they could do this themselves.

To me this game is worth $60, so don't go trying to tell me it's not. It's my opinion, and I'm fine with your opinion.

So what I have posted is not deemed in the light of personal opinion? You guys posts are becoming racked with ambiguity and are getting funnier by the minute.

Honestly I hope you guys love this game and you play to your hearts are content, its apparent that many of you have a glass is half full approach for the " little game that could" and I respect that "questioned positivty". I have major qualms with this game( the non control of deadball substitutions being one of them) that are too much for me to stand. I wanted this game to be good because college bastketball is my favorite sport, perhaps that is why my opinions are so strong. I hope you enjoy it, but if you pay 60 dollars for this game in 2009 your getting ripped off.

Peace

You can use the directional pad for substitutions on dead balls.

Ray Ray - don't sweat it.... people are going to love the game and hate the game. I'm enjoying Live10 so without a doubt this game will be fairly similar. Those that play 2k are more than likely not going to give this game it's due because it doesn't "feel" like 2k. Again, it's all personal preference.

I just wish a dev would show up and give us the scoop... they are leaving us hanging during the most crucial time of trying to sell their game!!

Unless Z gets called for traveling at least 4 times, then something isn't right.

I'm interested in seeing how different (if at all) the retail version is to the demo. It would seem to me that game play would be at least up to par with its NBA counterpart. But,the Live demo which came out a couple months ago was more polished. Maybe the devs are already aware of the issues.

I wonder why the Broadcast camera is different than the Live camera. Even on Broadcast Zoom the camera is farther away.

I have a feeling that EA stating that 60% of the development cycle was spent on presentation and broadcast integration will come back to haunt this game. Game play wise it just seems unpolished. Rushed. Here's hoping the demo was from a really early build. We'll see.

Did you even read or understand my posts about this? Thanks for the groundbreaking realization that you can use the d-pad for subs. If you don't understand what I am talking about by now no point in explaning it further.

I love when dudes slap monetary limits on certain games.

This game is only worth $42.28, I would never spend $60 on it.

The demo is excellent and should help to move the game....The visuals are much improved, including the animations...Saw one of my players tip a rebound to himself.

Also, the shake cam comes into effect when you take the lead, which is cool. The controls feel pretty solid, much improved over last year's mess.

The game pretty much feels like Live but the feel is geared towards college. The other thing you will notice is that the players are a touch smaller so the spacing is much better than Live.

Running the motion offense is fun and to see guys fight through screens is outstanding...

yup u nailed it...

Played more of the demo and it FEELS like a demo not a final retail. theres times when there's annoying hiccups as well. overall though if it's anything like the demo i'll be happy for once with a game out of the box

well that sucks.

Oh well....only a week or so to go.

[ehh]

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions (360)

I know one other dude who has XBL but he works nights so I might not be able to get over to his place. But yeah, only nine more days anyway.

I'm not really worried bout the demo anyway, I've played enough of Live 10 and seen enough vids of the demo. I think the retail is going to be a lot better than the demo based on what I see in Live now and the difference between Live's demo and retail (and post patch).
