Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

no coaching carousel, but you do get offers from other teams, and you can resign and get a new job similar to ncaa football

Thanks for the reply. A little disappointing but at least it gives me a chance to actually do a Michigan dynasty.

If there's a more fun team to play with than UW-Milwaukee, I haven't found them.

Whoever it was that suggested 41 for game speed, you're awesome. It plays so much more realistic now, not to mention that I can finally play 20 minute halves and get realistic results because the game is slower.

Re: NCAA BASKETBALL IMPRESSIONS THREAD PS3/360

my best description....unorganized. Guys don't get into proper position when trying to run a break, and the transistion is slow. I really don't know how else to describe it to be honest. I'll get a steal or loose ball or whatnot, and have, what should be a two on one or numbers, but my other guys without the ball are slow to react. Same thing with the cpu.

the transistion game is probably, imo at least, the weakest part of the gameplay.

Sounds exactly like NBA Live.

Looking at the vids, this game seems to be basically NBA Live 10 in a different uniform. Would that be a fair comment?

Some slider adjustments on varsity in favor of the cpu and it plays a little better than live imo.

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

man I just had a awesome game. texas me vs ku at tex. overtime win 75-71. hit a 3 at buzzer to put it in ot. I love the new motion offense. also if u didn't know u can press the y or b button during even if its grayed out. helped tremendously with running plays. collins was tough to handle, so was henry an the big fella to. for my team they had no answer for the new kid on the block number 0. he went 6-12 from 3. james was slashing, the tip about layups startin 18 ft really helps. couldn't get the big fella involved though. in foul trouble though, my post game isn't very polished either. anyways awesome experience crowd was nuts. I was on default all american 15 min halves.

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

For those wanting to play on varsity: I had a great game against Duke with UVA, I got hammered 94-72, but nonetheless it was a great game.

It was realistic, and with very few of those dreaded contact layups
Duke got the majority of the calls as well only adding to the realism.
Next game I beat Belmont by 25 with the exact same sliders.

I had the cpu's shooting at 60 and mine at 35 for both games

I shoot 43 % against Duke, Landesburg had 18 pts and scheyer had 29 for Duke

And Against Belmont I shoot 53 % percent, Tristin spurlock had 15 off the bench

I will say it, VARSITY WITH THE RIGHT SLIDERS WORKS FINE

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

Just got it last night along with AC2 and the God of War collection, which I had never played before, so spent most of my night with that.

Have yet to jump into the game as I usually like to name UCLA's team first. One thing that is really disappointing with not being able to change classes of made players is also you can't delete any players from your team in the roster management screen. So because they felt it important to add 4 walk on PG players to UCLA's team I can only add one created player to UCLA because the roster fills up with that one player. They are missing 3 freshmen which I figured as much would happen, but thought I would be able to create them all. Now I have to choose who to leave off.

Going to suck for roster makers. Not that big of a deal in the overall scheme of things of course, but I never understood why they would not let you change a players class or at least let you delete players from a roster so you can add more created players.

Well off to play a game or so before bed. Will post back with my thoughts later today.

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

After playing it some more, I feel this game is pretty good. Looking forward to our roster makers here on OS to work their magic.

2 things though that really bug me about this game are the lack of varied animations in all aspects of gameplay and the feeling that the players and shots have no "weight" to them. The 2K games feel very good in the weight dept. It actually feels like you are making contact with the players and the shots feel like they have some weight behind them.

I'm finding that varsity plays a pretty good game and gives good stats. I played a game using USC vs Mich St. I kept it pretty close until thend when Mich St pulled away and won by 8. Shooting % for both teams was in the mid 40's.

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

Anyone spy any deals on this game yet or is it too early? Really want to pick it up, but I'm broke after L4D2 and Mario.

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

I have seen it listed as used on Gamestop's website for $44.99 the nearest copy is about 37 miles away from me in ANN Arbor. Don't know how they have used copies already?

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

Playing a couple of games with the Illini, I found I had trouble with outside jumpers and my offense was bogged down. I then played as UNC and after a slower first half where I increased my lead to 8 at the end of the half, I started bombing from the outside and blew them out. The teams do feel and play different so far to me.

Playing on Varsity myself as I like it here. The CPU shooting sliders may be a bit low at default. OSU shot 50% in the first half against me in my first game, the other games neither CPU team has come close. Need to up my foul sliders too as I need some more FT attempts by each team, and less FGA.

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

I picked up the game yesterday..........................And to my surprise, i actually like the game! Call me crazy, but with the limited animations this engigne has this year, it almost seems perfect for a college game! Does anyone else feel like this? ehh? country boy?

This was a huge issue for me in Live, because non of the players really had Signature animations, but with the college game, even though the animations are limited, you can still tell the difference between avg players, and great players!

Won a game in Phog Allen stadium with Kentucky with a buzzer beater three pointer! I must say, besides this game, 2k is the only bball game this year that gives me that same excitement.

If you guys are on the fence rent the game. In some ways ie dynasty, etc. 2k8 is still better, but NCAA 10 is not a bad game at all. Some people like it, some wont. If you had Live and you liked it alot, you probably wont like this too much, because its basically the same game. Me personally, for this engine this year, the gameplay fits the college game perfectly.

The reviews are right its a fun game that has some flaws, but it does play basketball really well. Add some more animations, clean up some bugs, and this game will be great.

BTW...........This game feels really similar to my beloved NCAA March Madness 04! I enjoyed the hell out of that game! Maybe thats why i like it so much!
