If I told you Michael Myers and
Halloween have a lot in common with
EA Sports NCAA Football, you’d probably tell me I was crazy.
However, at a closer glance, they are more alike than you may realize. Both series have resorted to the same philosophy of not straying too far off of the formula which worked to originally elevate each franchise. Unfortunately, that philosophy of sticking close to an established formula tends to have a limited lifespan before a series becomes stale, and
NCAA Football is dangerously close to that point.
The approach to the NCAA Football series has been relatively the same since
NCAA Football 99, with only incremental improvements each year building on top of the previous package. However, just as with
Halloween, the core tenets of the series have remained the same to solid financial success. But just as with
Halloween, the same act seems to be getting tired.
NCAA Football 10 isn’t a bad game by any means, but the game represents only a marginal upgrade over last year's title overall, which leaves you wondering if we'll ever see a truly great
NCAA Football anytime soon.
