Centers move like they are PGs! Slow it down a little bit EA and things would look alright. Also Block animations are garbage. EA did a great job getting two different announce teams and two different broadcast styles, but please put some work in on the game play. Nolan Smith gets up court in like a half a second not even Devin Harris can do that. Probably the closest EA has been to a legit sports title in years but still looks like a fail.........prob still get my 60 though so I guess I fail too.

It will automatically restart when you turn the 360 back on.

My only complaint is when the CPU decides it wants to shoot, it will shoot right then and there. For example, the CPU player had the ball at the 3 point line and my guys had a double team on him. The CPU had a man about 10'-15' from the basket wide open. What does the CPU do? Fires a three pointer and misses it instead of passing to the wide open man with a clear lane to the basket.

My general observation is that the CPU just doesn't make good decisions.

I've enjoyed the demo for the most part. My only gripe is the amount of contact animations. It seems like you get bodied every time you attempt a shot in the paint.

Anyone know how to stop the CPU drive to the bucket? Like I mentioned in my post before, once the CPU decides what it wants to do, it does it and there is no stopping it. I can't tell how many times the CPU goes on a drive to the bucket and I'll have 2 or even 3 defenders in the paint and the CPU just blows right by them with the play usually ending in a bucket. When I try to do the same thing it usually results in a turnover or offensive foul. Am I doing something wrong?

PS3 user who finally got to play the demo... I'm loving it. Seems a little more refined than live. Player animations seem pretty good. Played some 2-3 zone and didn't see any of the horrible turnovers that plagued last years game. Day 1 for me, the presentation is awesome.

Just played my first game and all I have to say is WOW! I'm going to be in just fine being stuck indoors during the long cold winter months. This game is good.

Played as UNC and was outrebounded 13-4 in 5 minutes. Also, playing All-American, cpu ate up my zone defense. Good to see.

Yes!!! Good stuff, I should be playing in the next 30 minutes or so....

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

ARRRGGGHHHH!!! The same annoyance of fouls being called but you have no idea what happened appear to be back from last year. Example, I had a collision underneath the basket as I was backing the defender down and I didn't know if it was a block or a charge as there was no overlay to tell me and the game cut away to a stat overlay of conference standings so I couldn't look at the ref to tell what happened.

This annoyed me to no end last year.

LOL...the players standing up on the bench during gameplay have no numbers or names on their jerseys. Not complaining, just thought it was funny.

2 games in of playing nothing but zone defense, have not seen the cpu turn into mental challenged mode like they would last year. Very good to see.

Also, enjoying the cpu missing wide open shots on AA level.

the block animations look silly, for lack of a better term. Once in a while there will be a blocked shot and it looks natural, but more often then not, I don't know the block occured until I see the ball not going to the rim if that makes sense. Very odd looking animation/sequence at times.

Also, not a fan of the fact that everyone is the "same" in the sense that with a Center, I can dribble the ball like a PG. Now granted, trying to take someone off the dribble usually results in me losing the ball, but the idea that I can even attempt this raises a concern.

CPU is much better at rotation defense. I was called for 3 charges this past game due to this fact. Or it could've been because I was UNC playing at Cameron Indoor.
