Its New Mexico State (NMSU) @ Univ. of New Mexico (UNM). The game doesnt seem to know the true abbr. for some teams the expected: -the arena is quite generic. im guessing half the teams have this setup. that pretty much clears out the cosmetic first impressions. attention to detail for low mid majors is severely lacking. quick look at the NEC -Central Connecticut State still has their old court design from maybe 4 years ago. -Long Island's Home arena is still listed as Schwartz Center. (they moved into the wellness and athletic center back in 2005) -a look at other various arenas prove semi accurate designs. its really hit or miss here. I can take requests if you want those cosmetic questions answered

Thanks for posting. As for the cosmetics, I am curious if they added any new authentic Arena's from last year. It seems they updated a bunch of jersey's where as last year they updated a bunch of courts and added some new authentic arena's without updating much jerseys

Can't wait to get the game.

references would be great. PM me please

Illinois' court doesnt have the I at midcourt, with the two tone paint. so that pretty much shows the scoop of the attention. alabama state and alabama a&t.. best of luck lol

most arenas will have a nice color balance, so if the design is off, its truly not too offsetting to the eyes, so no true worries. that was the other games biggest burden. logos and what not that didnt match up well. Here, there is a true polish to every arena, accurately designed/colored or not.

If anyone happens to start a dynasty with a mid major or low major team, could they comment on if they had the espn or cbs presentation?

I know in real life, mid majors won't get shown on espn/cbs all the time, but since they spent so much of the dev cycle on presentation this year I think it'd be a pretty dumb decision not to let people use it just because they play with lower teams. I'm fine if they don't have commentary like last year, but I still hope that we'll see the espn and cbs overlays.

PS3 Owners, I have a question.

If i'm able to copy my roster file to a flash drive, does that mean we have flash drive roster sharing this year? Because I will flip the eff out if we do.

(I ask because I was just able to copy my roster to my flash drive)

ehh,
Great call on varsity! This is playing incredibly realistic, getting good foul results with: shooting 60, reach 100, charge 100, in air 50. I also like fatigue at 95

I've basically only played CH2k8 for PS2 and I've been thinking of picking up a 360 just to get this game if it sounds worth all that money. Thanks so much for all the impressions, I've read every page and have gone back and forth on whether I think I'll spring for it. I still have a few things I am wondering, I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out. I didnt play NCAA 09 so I'm clueless on a lot of things.

In dynasty mode is their a coaching carousel like in CH2k8? Do people get fired, and can you move from one school to another?

I understand the schedules are inaccurate, but are you able to try to make your own schedule in dynasty so long as the team agrees to play you? For example, mid-majors can't schedule home and homes with BCS types but they can with teams of the same prestige.

Is every game played in dynasty apart of the ESPN or CBS broadcast package? I think it would be sweet and realistic if when playing with mid-majors you only get appropriate tv coverage depending on the game, that would make those games so much more intense when you get there.

I know its probably too early to ask but is it appropriately hard for a small school to land a 5 or 4 star recruit?

Someone said you can't view other teams schedules or boxscores in your dynasty. Is this true? That seems like it would really make it hard to get immersed into my dynasty. Can you see what recruits other teams have signed during the season? Do they rank recruiting classes each year?

If the dynasty in NCAA doesn't look like it will keep me I was thinking of getting a 360 anyways and get CH2k8 for it and retire my ps2. One thing that bugs me with CH2k8 is the sim stats are really bad and bench players seem to get an absurd number of minutes and some games starters barely play for whatever reason. I was wondering if other people experienced this or perhaps it was because I was on the ps2 version. The sim stats sound great in NCAA 2010 though.

Lastly, I know these requests are probably really annoying, but can someone give me a rundown of the Zags roster? They have a lot of freshman and I want to see if they got them all and how accurate the ratings are.

Thanks a million for everyone contributing to this thread!!!

Well I figured out why I'm missing so many layups on Varsity, it's because for some stupid reason Kemba Walker has 62 for "field goal", the lowest rating of any guard on UConn's roster. Even one of the walk-ons has 69 for FG. Geez EA, there goes any plans I had of playing this game online. Every other comparable PG in the game I looked at had this rating in the mid 80's at the minimum.

Played most of a UConn vs Quinnipiac game to see what it was like in a mismatch game. Everything looked good, I killed them on the glass, shot over 50%, they were in the 30% range and I was up by over 20 with 15 minutes left in the game when I quit.

Also no maize alternates for Michigan, terrible.

Can anyone take a picture or video of UNCC's Halton Arena. I want to see how close they came to making this building.
