Wow! IMO, NCAA football 10 and every college game should be put into the bland category. I agree with the lack of online dynasty but, boring dynasty could also be put into football's review as well. All in all, to each his own. Good write up though.

6 = don't bother renting imo. Tough review!

Re: NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

Err, was there a single positive thing mentioned in the review? The game isn't great but damn, talk about focusing heavily on the negatives.

Re: NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

my favorite is the picture of clipping, lol what game doesnt do that

**sportskid84** · 11-20-2009, 01:43 PM

well i past on this game,and just play CH2k8 for one more year

**pfunk880** · 11-20-2009, 01:45 PM

Sounds like a mixed bag. Maybe I'll give it a rent but it sounds like I'm probably just going to stick to 2k8 and hope NCAA 11 takes another step forward.

Re: NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

I do think that those who pass on this game simply due to one review score are going to be missing out. While I don't deny the negatives mentioned in the article, it does seem that the things this game does right were severely overshadowed by the things that it doesn't do so well. I just feel that the review should've given more credit to the game for what it improved upon from last year's installment.

In any event, very well written review Chris. It is refreshing to see an explanation for why you didn't like/enjoy certain aspects of the game, instead of saying, "I didn't like ______", "_______ was bad/terrible", etc.., and leaving it at that.

Oh and I have to give props to someone that references the player sizes from the old Nintendo hockey game. LOL

Re: NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

Don't base your opinions off the review of one person. Well written it may be; however, there were many positives not touched on and the negatives were really drilled home. The impressions thread should be a good resource to get a good idea of what you can expect from this game. I will say it again. Last years game got a seven. How could it regress to a six when the game is better in every category?

Re: NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

authentic schedules are included in this years game as well. They will be in the first update Tuesday as opposed to a patch

Review is right on the money. If anything, I think it was too kind and generous. Oh well, I needed another coaster anyway.

I think people are just trying be nice about the situation. It's the only college basketball game around so it appears some might be just forcing themselves top enjoy this game just like some of us are forcing ourselves to enjoy Live 10.

I really didn't see any improvement in the demo when compaired to NCAA 09

It seems like they slapped some boosted up presentation into the game and called it NCAA 10.................

The player models looked like hulk hogan as i pointed out about the demo. They think all college kids are bodybuilders or what.....

It's sad that you have to edit the appearance of 1000's of players just make PG's look different from C's and PF's. 2 years ago every player was too skinny and now that are all Karl Malone. That's EA for you they only know how to do things one way there is never a middle ground with them.

I was hoping to take better advantage of this game since it didn't have all the screwy DNA crap that Live was using but it appears this game is no better and I won't be missing anything for the 2nd straight year without a college game.

Pick up and play is probably the best thing I got from this review. If you just what to have fun for about 1-2 months before things start to turn you off.

I've seen 4 reviews not just this one that all pretty much say the same thing about this game.

This review just happens to give the game it's lowest score 6.0 OUCH!

But all the others have the game rated avg at best 7.0

It's like deja vu the past few years reading this stuff.

I respect your opinion..but I couldn't disagree more. I loathed NCAA 09 after a short while - so I have no bias towards that game. This game is night and day compared to that.

This game deserved a better score than 6. I would say at least 7.5.

**gdav125** · 11-20-2009, 03:47 PM

6! Wow that's low. This game is far and away better than last years. I think too many people are afraid of giving EA props for actually doing a decent/solid job on improving this game. This gets a 6 because the ball goes through the backboard, but NCAA FB gets a higher score and the football doesn't even spiral? I traded that hot garbage in for NCAA BB 10 and I'm glad I did. Sorry, but IMO the negatives just don't bogg the game down as much people want to believe it does. Most people I know and have seen talk about this game may not love it, but they are definitely enjoying it. I know I am.
