NCAA Football 10 Review

I am also stunned at how bad the stadium chants are. They really do sound like something from a PS1 game published in 1996 before developers knew what they were doing with that new-fangled CD technology. Somebody should ask them what they were thinking, I would really like to know.

To give the game an 8 or higher is, in my opinion, ludicrous. That's essentially grading the game as a "B" which would be above average.

I'm sorry, but after playing it, I would hardly rate this game as above average. It is SORELY pedestrian. While the gameplay may be the best we've seen on next-gen, that's hardly saying much. There are still an abundance of animation and gameplay flaws that can hardly be "forgiven" for the few tweaks they added this year. Graphically, the game is a step back (at least on the PS3). Which for the life of me I can't understand seeing as how they copied nearly everything from last year, they couldn't just copy the graphics? Or did they make them worse so they'll look that much better next year?

Teambuilder was something I was sorely missing for the past 3 years, but I would have rather waited longer for it and had EA actually make a decent game first. It just isn't worth using when the game itself is so trite.

If anyone is on the fence about buying, I highly recommend just renting and not buying. This game does not warrant $60, and certainly not given to a group that is clearly not interested in improving the game, but content to sit on gimmicks and watch the green roll in.

What essentially is the main difference between college football and the NFL?

The emotion. The experience. The atmosphere.

So, how the hell can EA market a college football game in 2010 without anyone of these things done good? It's a joke if you ask me.

Seriously? It's sad and pathetic but not surprising considering EA has thousands of sheep that will buy their crap products.

Adam actually apologized in one thread. He said they had a bunch of high school kids out to a field to record it and only half the kids came out due to finals so they didn't sound good. Whatever the reason, they sounded terrible in the demo and they would have been better off not using them. Instead, they the defense chant is embarrassingly awful.
