Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

That's true. I think that you and ehh are right in that if you juice up varsity it plays pretty darn close to real life. CB's suggestion on match up helped me down low in the post. I have seen the ai throw out underneath

Hi Vechi8, did you set 'Tight" guarding to the CPU's big's to make them pass out? If not, can you explain what you did?

I have adjusted that and it still doesn't make them do it as often as I would like, but maybe I am doing something wrong. By chance have you been in a zone defense when seeing them do it? Thanks.

Yes, I set my C and pf tight everybody else auto. I still get a lot put ups but not as many. I wish we had some way of getting physical down low, I try pushing l stick into the c and right stick down hoping for bumping or a charge. Often nothing. I also set the slider low post strength to 100. My bet is we will see an update with this issue soon.

I don't know about you but my zones get crushed on rebounds. AI eats me up on o boards in zones. I run a lot of mans and thats where I see the pop outs.

Are you running original rosters? Because if you are not, forget about the pop out!

Have we got any solid Dynasty impressions in this thread yet?

How is the recruiting? Big names schools normally get big name recruits? Top 25 look correct with no 15-20 in rankings like on the demo? How does it stack up against 2K8's Legacy mode (which I know is hard to do)?

Thanks, I will try that. Also hoping that some sort of fix would be part of an update. I haven't used a team that plays zone, but I will be on the lookout for the offensive rebounds once I use one of those teams. I will also remove the update once I fire it up in a second.

You know what is interesting is that there are complaints about the rosters and ratings but with default rosters, I'm getting really close stats for all of my players. I don't need a foul update because with practice I'm making moves that generate contact. If they could somehow make the pop out better would be golden. I'm already playing in dynasty and love it.

The dynasty is deep for me. I always got caught up in the mega options that 2k gave us for dynasty but honestly I got lazy and didn't use half of it. I like the way your AD emails you and tells you what players are interested in the program. The customization of schedule is cool in that schools can decline to play you. I was sweating out with no redshirt options but I found that as well. Honestly, these options are all I need. I just hope that a lot of people give this game a shot because we will have some fun online as well.

I simmed a season last night.

My first impressions of recruiting(I did all the recruiting for Wright State). Honestly, if the player was the highest interest in my team it was really easy to get him and it seems no other team really had a chance since I didn't fail to sign anyone.

I signed 7 guys. Five 3* and two 2* players. This is basically right for Wright State because the incoming freshman were right around or below the average rating on my team. The two star players were rated worst on my team. Also, none of the players I signed were getting real interest from major schools, so that might have been why it was easy for me.

Toughest places to play change year by year thankfully. Xavier was 5-24() and they dropped out of the top twenty places to play.

You can't see past the top 25 in RPI standings which is pretty annoying, and I can't find anyway to check my team(hopefully it's possible).

The yearbooks, which show the team leaders and recruits you got last year, seem to be off. It does not include seniors for some reason, because in my first year two of my seniors led a couple categories for my team, but are not listed as the leader for that year.

I was invited to the MAC after the first year(18-12 no tourny), I accepted just for the heck of it.

I'm simming the second year right now. After the first month, top 25 is really nice, no terrible teams rated high.

After second month most everything looked fine, but Duke was #1 at 18-5 and there was a 19-2 Texas team ranked 4th. It looks like Duke was #3 before the #1 and #2 teams lost, so they just dropped one spot each and Duke jumped to #1. Also, Wake Forest was ranked 25th at 12-11 That was the only questionable record in the top 25.

3rd month, everything looked fine basically. Texas was getting screwed still IMO, as they were 25-2 and ranked #2 and UK was 24-4 ranked #1. Not that big a deal to me. No bad records in the top 25.

If you look at Bracketology, you can see the RPI rating(although not RPI ranking) of the teams that are automatic bids, best of the rest, and on the bubble.

For tourney selection, there was one that I thought was wrong. West Virginia(17-14) made it in over Creighton(22-6) and UNLV(22-8), who both had better RPI's than WVU.

Like Vechi said, I like how the AD will email you to tell you that a certain player is interested. Your game will get picked up by espn if you go on a winning streak, and you AD will inform you of it. Not sure what it's like for majors or low majors, but for mid majors it seems if you win 6 in a row or 9 in a row your game will be picked up for tv.

Compared to 2k8, I'm not really sure. You only get to recruit seniors, so 2k has it beat there. I felt it wasn't much of a challenge to sign players, but it was only players who had the highest interest in me with no majors involved. I think it's more of a challenge in 2k8. No weekly highlight show, or preseason show. Tourny selection is just voiceovers(I've never watched it myself, but CB and a few others have mentioned this). I'd say 2k's is still far better, but this is a decent dynasty mode IMO.

I forgot to check the top recruits, but based off of looking off the all american nomination list, I'd say the top players go to the top schools. There were probably 4 or 5 freshman who were standouts, and they were all with big schools. I'll try and look tomorrow for this.

If there is anything else specific you want to know, I'll check it out, but it probably won't be till sometime tomorrow because I'll be gone tonight.

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

i take it this game doesnt have neutral courts for quick play (if at all)?

played in the garden with cal and ohio st and the crowd was all cal.. disappointing

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

They jus need to adjust some body types of some players whom are too bulky.

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

Is there are real FT% like in 2K?

Nope. I wish there was an option for it though. I like options.

Free throws can be a son of a gun in this game sometimes.

Zones do usually get outrebounded because it makes it harder for you to box the offense out. I mean, you will obviously get some boards, but it just limits your defensive rebounding so unless you just absolutely can't get a defensive board when playing a zone, this is actually realistic. Also, I have never been more stoked about the varying ways the net rips on this game. I've always wanted a BBall game that had the different ways the net moves depending on the shot, and I finally got it.

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

Guys I'm going to attempt to do a roster set for the 360. My goal is to do one or two conferences per day (Will probably squeeze in a few more than that when I have the extra time). I've managed to get all of the SEC done and only have 5 conferences worth of coaches left to complete (I edited ALL coaching images to try and mimic the real life coaches).

UK's team has been edited as detailed as possible in terms of look and accessories (no ratings touched on any players). I also did a few UT players as well such as Tyler Smith, Wayne Chism, and Bobby Maze. Other than those, the rest of the players on all the SEC teams have been updated with just names and their hometowns. Unfortunately the only foreign country listed is Canada, so any foreign player is automatically given that as their hometown.

Honestly I've been so immersed in updating these rosters and coaches, while also throwing in some playing time, that I haven't checked if EA has a way for us to share our rosters like 2K? I haven't bought a EA college basketball game since PS2 (being the huge College Hoops 2K fan boy that I am ), so any insight on that would be great. I'd love to be able to share what I've done thus far, and hope to complete, with anyone who's interested.

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

Is anyone seeing the CPU fastbreak? Be specific about level of difficulty too. I haven't seen the CPU fastbreak much on both Varsity and All-Conf much. Even against a team like UNC.

Also, are you able to fastbreak vs. the CPU?

Can you send me a message when you are done? My gamertag is Skihawks...

You can upload your completed roster file to the EA Locker for everyone to use....
Appreciate it.

yeah, just played a few hours ago on AC playing 15 min. halves. they did run 2 or 3 fastbreaks i think, they're a Balanced team.

and yes i can run fastbreaks on CPU too, but 1 out of 4 times i think the CPU defense got back already so it cuts me off. Last game I played i had 12 fastbreaks points. he he he. hope that helps.

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

oh here's the thing though, i think i never saw the CPU run a break after a rebound. It's always after a steal.
