I had high hopes for this game. I have played 2k8 the past few years and needed something new. After reading what a few people had said in a thread titled "10 vs 2k8" I decided to get this game. I had a gift card I needed to use so I knew I would not be out any money. Good thing because after 3 weeks with the game I'm done.
I'm a offline dynasty only player and the dynasty mode is a joke. You can edit coaches names but they don't show up in the dynasty WTF. Then the teams that offer you a contract are a joke. If you are a up start coach the only teams that offer you a job should be small low level schools not a 4* school like Cinci, or Boston College. Then the recruiting points you get is a joke as well. I took E.Ill. and only had 78 point for the whole season with 8 spots to fill. There is no way you can fill that many holes and know anything about the player. Who ever thought of this way of recruiting should not work on a sports game. In real life coaches work on time not points so why does EA keep puting points system in there games.
Game play was fun at first but after a few games I was way over it. If you want to do the ESPN/CBS thing then its great only if you have a select few games that get that broadcast package but when every game I play as a small school like E.Ill. is on ESPN or CBS is not believeable. I only got the "freeze" twice so it didn't kill the game for me but did piss me off. Both times was after playing a few games so I thought it may be due to the system/game getting to hot.
Then the fact that EA has left this game for dead with no patch in sight is the nail in the casket. With a simple patch this game would be ok.
All in all I'm done with this game. I'm going to trade it in while I can still get something for it. This is the last EA basketball game I will buy and I use to love March Maddness and bought it evey year. It makes me sad to say all this but its the truth. EA needs to do somethings with all their games (only play NCAA Football & Madden) for me to buy another one. Tired of the dynasty modes getting put on the back burnner. EA I'm sad.
