* In the School Overview, it says North Carolina has 4 National Titles. UNC has at 6 National Titles ('24, '57, '82, '93, '05, '09) but 5 NCAA Titles--the '24 Title is retroactive from the Helms foundation. Either way, it should be 5 Titles on the game and not 4.

* Duke's court is still messed up; Duke's bench should be on the bottom left of the screen, while visitors sit on the bottom right.

I dont think the '57 title is a NCAA title either.

I'm using my own set for Varsity............and I usually see the cpu take 4 to 6 threes a game. What I like about it as the Irish is the fact that I only beat LB St. by 7 and ST, Francis by 11...but then turn around and I beat Northwestern by 24,

The 3 pnt % for both myself and the cpu is around 27% up tp 38%. This game is wildly inconsistent in how your team plays, and I am actually ok with that. I want some games that are just grinds, some that are easy..and some that just frustrating because my team is so cold.

Against LB ST. I shot 34 % from the field..then turn around and shot 49% the next game agaisnt NWestern.

Anyway you could post your Varsity sliders?

It is. The tournament title game was one of the best ever--UNC against Wilt Chamberlain's Kansas Jayhawks. It's just that back in '24, they didn't have an "NCAA Tournament".

No big deal; it's just that they should have that correct.

The lack of post passes is started to kill this game for me. Everytime they pass it there I have to hold myself to not try and block it. I don't know what to do anymore...

1 thing I have done is turn down blocks and I turned down computer short range shooting so if you just put your hands up and get into them they miss once in awhile instead of making it all the time. I think I have it on 30 for short range AI shooting.

DJ,
I'm confident that they will get this solved. I really am impressed with EA's responses to their games as of late. I would like a dev to come mingle with us!

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

You might be right on this one. I'm gonna get a game in tonight and pay close attention. Last night the sub came in 14 seconds into the game due to a foul and I was like WOW!!! We have a problem here.

Alright, about that Cinci player subbing out after the first minute. I've taken another look. He is Cashmere Wright the starting PG rated 68 OVR on the roster. There are three other PGs on the roster rated 77, 76, and 76, respectively. The cpu is trying to get it's best players ont he court for most part. What I did was increased Wright's ratings so that he moves from a "Bench" player to a "Key Reserve." This gives him a couple more minutes per game but not much. My theory is that in order for him to not get taken out so quickly he would have to have ratings as equal to or better than 2 of the other 3 PGs with higher ratings.

I haven't looked at the other players on other teams with this problem but I would guess something similar is happening there. The cpu is just trying to give the most minutes to the highest rated players at their respective position regardless of who the starter is.

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

I've settled on All Conference for right now, plays pretty fair and realistic IMO. I really liked Varsity, but it got too easy. Also, ehh, thanks for your layup solutions/tips thread it has really helped me.

I just had one amazing game against Brown in the pre season NIT tourney. I came into the game thinking I was going to roll over them, hey they're Brown, aren't they? I quickly found out that I severely underestimated them. In the first half they wouldn't miss, I tried man and 2-3 zone and they couldn't be stopped. They shot 71% for the half, leading by 15. In the second half, I came out firing on all cylinders. So it was tied or within a few points for the rest of the game. I get the ball with 36 seconds left in a tie game, dribble out some clock, and then run my offense. With 15 seconds left, Vaughn Duggins pops out for a 3 and it bounces around the rim and goes in! The crowd went crazy, so did I They went on to miss a three, and I could've put it away with a free throw but I choked. They missed a 3 as time expired, and I rejoiced.

I'm having a blast with this game, such an improvement over last years game.

It's games like this that keep me coming back to NCAA. It's just so much fun. I agree, much better than last year.

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

Playing UC Bearcats vs Gonzaga and I lead 37-31 at the half. Totally different game than any other I have played up to this point. Both teams game out COLD AS ICE. I'm shooting 33% to there 31%.

The Bulldogs are 3 for 10 from 3pt, I'm seeing drives to the paint and kickback out if its not there, I'm also seeing forced shots at times which I've come to expect from video games. This game is so much fun it's unreal.

Out of all 3 games that I have played as far as fun-factor this one wins out hands down. A few rough edges but I think this game is inching to the higher 8's as a score I would give it the more I play. Peace!!!!!

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

Has anyone experienced a glitch like this yet? I was in Dynasty mode, playing against Vanderbilt. Halfway through the first half, all my subs were messed up. Everyone's names were switched with other players. For example, at the center position, it said "J.Gardner" but really on the floor it was Cooper Land. Gardner is my PG, so that's how I first realized something was wrong. I could not get any other player in the game either.

I just quit the game, and replayed it, but this really bothered me. I've played about 15 games total, and this is the first time I've experienced it and I haven't seen anyone else talk about it, so hopefully it's a rare thing. When I replayed the game, everything was fine.

I have not experienced this glitch, but that's very strange indeed.
