NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

Re: NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

This is the best OS review rated 6 game I think I've ever played!

In all seriousness, how it scores lower than NCAA '09 has still not been addressed. It's surely a step forward in the series. Hopefully, there is enough positive vibe from others here who are enjoying it to not deter others from at least renting and taking it for a spin.

A 6???? Wow all credibility from OS reviews are out the window and I've almost always are in-line with there scores. A 7.5 at worst and maybe an 8 at best as it stands.

Just my personal opinion. This game is better than Live 10 imo. Peace!!!

Heck, it is rated lower than mlb2k9. Even that got a 6.5-what a joke

And this is why you dont follow the review of anyone at any site.

It is his opinion and you should rent the game and see for yourself.

They are quick to give games like Madden and NCAA high scores , when in reality those game did not deserve the score they received, so why use their review to make your decision.

It weird but for some reason no one has the heart to give those games what they really deserve.

Do yourself a huge favor and if your curious about this game or any game, just rent it. You will be surprised how many games you will enjoy finding out for yourself then having someone review make your decision.

This game is not a 6.

Got to give this game a 7.5/8. Not the best hoops game in the world, but the gameplay and presentation is a big jump from last year.I think everyone on this site will agree that EAC needs to start over with the dynasty mode to take the next step

I would still give it at least a 7.5. For somebody who did not play 09, it feels a little more exciting maybe. The rosters are surprisingly good, the RPI's AI, etc., is solid, and the game plays alright on the court (like NBA Live lite?). Through patches they can improve certain flaws. Final stats in a 15 minute game on all-conference difficulty turn out very realistic. The crowds are well done. Overall, not a bad game.

Re: NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

Fair enough review for me. Ill give it a 7 though. Im enjoying the game.

but sometimes i just cant help but be annoyed when my players get sucked on contact. the players looking like they are on super soldier serum. LOL.

but it is a WAY BETTER GAME than 09 and i gotta give EA credit for that. It's not perfect, but at least we see the game making strides into greatness.

Now all EA has to do probably is learn from these reviews and make more improvements in the next games to come. But this is a great step towards it.

But my players still look like bodybuilders. LOL

good review. the game is really weak. honestly!

[carnalnirvana]

not once in the 2k10 review did i hear a mention of clipping or morphing but now this game get put on blast when 2k10 is the king of clipping and morphing players in each other wow great review

Re: NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

Its nice to see all the positive words but is this really a game thats worth $60, or is it the foundation of a game that will eventually be worth $60...hopefully?

There is no game worth $60...and if there is it surely aint a sports game.

Re: NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

chill, if you check out the first page comments they mostly were people who prefer the college 2k8 . Everyone gets so sensitive. me personally i never played 2k8 it very well be a good game i never knocked the game , but for what ever reason they make it clear that they are going back to college 2k8.
I'm not getting into it with anyone about what game is better all i know is when i get this game i'm getting because i want to and not because of a review. chill no need to get all upset people in the end its just a game

Then why make the 2k fan boy comments. It really is juvenile and you can't cover it up by saying chill. No wonder the forums turn into company wars so often. Ridiculous comments like yours are not needed. Review or not, if someone likes the game that's great and if they don't it doesn't make them a fanboy. Now that's ridiculous.

Re: NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

Are these guys playing the games, that is all I ask!!!!!!!!!! There is no way you have played this game and give it a 6!!!This is a joke, I never have liked reviews, and this confirms why. Ncaa 09 can not touch ncaa10 and I actually liked ncaa2009!! This game gives a good example of college basketball: presentation, gameplay and the sound is awesome! I am 34 years old and have been an avid gamer since I was like 6 or 7 years old, I am not a fan boy for any particular company. If you make a good *** game you get my money period!!!!!!!!! Ncaa 10 is a good *** Game!!! I was playing videogames before they started franchise modes and dynasty modes, when the only things that mattered was gameplay and was it a fun game. This game has it!!!!!!! This game pumps you up, it is a good representation of collegebasketball!!!! Good job EA, you are on the right track.

Re: NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

I think a "6" is very fair...this game is a nice addition to any college basketball addict's gaming library, who must play a video game that represents the sport. but it's not a well done game at all. i played for the first time last night and the flaws were obvious. there is nothing unfair about the review, and i found myself agreeing with the insights and didn't see anything in the review that i found disagreeable.

Re: NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

This is the first EA basketball game I've bought since NBA Live when the xbox 360 was first released. I rented others since but always disliked them. I didn't play NCAA '09. I became a 2k basketball person and, like many of you, love CHOOPS 2k8. I even have 2 copies, one unopened in case something goes wrong with the first.

Now that I got that out of the way, I have to honestly say I am enjoying the gameplay and atmosphere of this game. It really gets you in the game. The game really does capture the essence of college basketball even better than the other game from a couple years ago. I'm just talking on the court here. I haven't been in dynasty mode yet. I figure it would be hard to beat CHOOPS dynasty mode. One thing you guys will notice is how authentic plays look. I think the review score should be higher.

One thing that can be improved like the reviewer said is post play. Having said that I'm satisfied with what the post play offers so far. Another thing is more varied animations but that's not a big deal. I would be more concerned if this was the pro version of basketball but I've learned to live with generic styles and animations in college sports titles (maybe that just admits a lowering of standards).

Another negative is the commentary. Although they have 2 broadcast crews, the commentary for both is repetitive. Given that then maybe it really is a saving grace they have two announcing crews.

If you are fan of college basketball you owe it to yourself to at least rent this game. In my opinion playing the game is highly addictive. I've been playing on All Conference level with 20-minute halves and score for my games are in the range of 50s to 80s. I just love that. The stats for just about all categories are also more realistic than what was offered in that older game from a couple years ago. I don't know if I'll end up doing a dynasty or just use it for play now games. Because of this, I keep thinking to myself that I don't see the need to play CHOOPS 2K8 now that I have this game.
