NCAA Football 10 Review

[Bigdmo9999]

Saying that the gameplay is the best on next gen really isn't saying much, I hope people realize that. Each year has had some glaring issue about gameplay in it, this year the issues aren't major.

As for the review, great read Chris, best review I have read so far. You weren't afraid to say what was actually wrong with the game and what was done right.

That's why the last gen titles were so awesome. Gameplay was at its best, and there was just enough presentation & dynasty things to keep you into it.

Next gen though has decent gameplay, and practically zero presentational elements... causing it to be pretty lack luster... and don't even get me started on how mundane dynasty is.

Man, next gen has been a real disappointment in terms of sports gaming. I was really expecting we would finally get MORE in our games. Instead we are left reminiscing about the glory days back on the PS2. When will we finally see more hard work put into these games? Its been 4 years, how have they not learned to push the consoles like other developers of epic games have? Why do we still have generic stadiums, stale commentary, old equipment, subpar gameplay?

07 was a free pass, 08 was acceptable, 09 was a let down, 10 seems inexcusable to me.

Come on EA, time to quit holding back. I shouldn't even say EA though, I should specifically say NCAA Team, Madden stepped up their game, they added presentation, gameplay, online game modes, etc., all in one year. I can't imagine how awesome that game would be if they had been doing this for the past 4 years.

I really hope NCAA 11 is the year we finally get a NEXT GEN game

You are right. I hope they take this dev cycle to massively upgrade the presentation. If they do that and with a few more gameplay tweaks next years game could be great.

They need to pull a Madden. Its not like they can't do both.

I'm sure NCAA 11 will just be a college version of Madden 10, but I'm hoping they can also focus on other stuff to make it even more different than Madden.

If not, I am done with NCAA forever.

I agree about Dynasty Mode..so much could be done there.

I was told by a wise man once that forever is a long time, so it's best to never make a vow for forever

IMO, the NCAA team simply needs to tweak a few things with gameplay, but don't screw what this year has up. Then spend the rest of your time overhauling the rest of the game and NCAA 11 could be a Game of the Year type of game.
