Re: NCAA Football 10 Review

After playing the game last night, I really don't see how this game can garner more than a 6.

Sliders - Broken same as last year. If you had a student and told him if he corrected his paper, he could still get an A-, but instead just turns in the same paper, what would you dock him? -2

Rosters - Completey bungled. -1 to -2

Presentation including sound or lack there of. -1

Other annoying things:
FG's inside of 50 yards are all chipshots
Lots of visual clipping going on.
2d sprite crowd is rock bottom. Should have just left out the fans on the field behind some enzones, looks like Super Nintendo graphics.
Gameplay its honestly no better than 2006 or 2007 on the last gen. I mean we're applauding them for the AI throwing the deep ball? For the AI not calling the QB choice play over and over again? Yes this is the best iteration on next gen, but still 2 or 3 years away from being where it needs to be.

Chris did a great job with the write-up, score just doesn't match.

Teams like Utah, what is that some sort of backhanded compliment?

The only thing that is fun about this game is that's it's a game about football. It's like a porno with a good looking chick except she's a tranny and an amputee. But hey, it's still porno.


Should have put that in the official review.

The AI does still abandon the run a bit too soon if it falls behind, and overall it does call too many passing plays instead of running plays for some teams, including Georgia Tech. However, the playcalling is the best I’ve seen it yet in the series. Don't be fooled though, it still needs some serious work.
I actually had the opposite problem mentioned in the review. Bama was still running up the middle when down by 2 scores in the 4th quarter. It didn't seem right at all. I was even calling plays expecting them to pass more.

I usually have no gripes with reviews here on OS, but reading this whole review, yes, the whole thing, I was expecting to see a 6 or 7 for the overall score.

Why does everybody care so much about presentation? Those people whining about the presentation sounds like a bunch of women complaining about a brocken nail. When did everybody start caring about presentation so much? Not sure when that transition occured. I've also seen a few comments about how last gen had better gameplay... Yeah it was so much fun to be able to drop back 20 yards and heave the ball deep down field to a speedy receiver. Great times for sure!

The gameplay has improved, no doubt about it and to me that IS saying something. Not sure I have ever seen a bigger improvement in gameplay. Sure, it's not a full on a completely realistic simulation, but I have never seen ANY video football game that is. If you looking for that stick with a statistically based text football simulation (Action PC! Football). I play and enjoy both(text & videogame), but I also realize the inhearent limitations a videogame has in regards to entertainment and realism and ALL the variables associated with creating realism.

NCAA 10 does a good job of replecating a football game, while keeping the game entertaining and realistic enough (again who cares about presentation.. geezzz... it's descent enough). The game does have some issues, no doubt about that either (sliders). Guys, the game is NEVER going to be perfect. Presentation seems to be the big complaint this year, next year it will be something else. Part of the probelm is that so little was expected of last, last gen systems (ex. Genesis), but with each system generation the expectations jump out of the roof. Now with the next gen systems, some people are expecting the unatainable.
