NCAA Basketball 10 Videos (Gamespot)

[ehh]

^ That's another thing that could really hurt NCAA '10 especially since 2K8 did it so well.

There was hardly any fancy isolation stuff in 2K8 and they did an amazing job with the amount of dunks. If you played with low majors you could go several games without seeing a single dunk. They nailed that part of the "college feel". I'm worried that the level athleticism and skill will be too high across the board in NCAA '10. You could really the tell the difference between low majors and high majors in 2K8, and the difference from the gameplay to NBA 2K8 was amazingly noticeable as well.

There is no excuse for this crap, I will ungraciously not buy the game this year and complain vigorusly at the insipid nature of such basic non-exsistent video game fundamentals.

I still don't get it.. The object of playing defense it stop the other team from scoring no matter who brings the ball up.

In college basketball don't the point guard bring the ball up 90 percent of the time?

They do but how do you differentiate between the SG and the SF?

What if one can't shoot and one can?

You'd want to play defense accordingly and it starts with knowing who has the ball, especially with generic faces. It's not like the Pro games where you can tell who the players are by face. Chances are w/o roster editing you're gonna get some kids who are really black but are white in the game, and vice versa.

Wouldn't you know after a few possession?? I don't know I have to checkout the demo to see the issue..

Just think about every sports game you have played since the PS2/Xbox games. How many of those games have not displayed the name of the player who had the ball?

I didn't play '09 so I didn't know it was an issue.

Yeah it would just look odd to me, it would take me awhile to get use to it and even then I still wouldnt like it.

I don't know if I'm alone here but I sometimes announce my own games, one thing that bothered me about NCAA BB 09 was the fact that I didn't know who scored, so I'd just be putting in pronouns like the announcers in game do.

That's pretty funny. I definitely don't do that. But whatever helps you enjoy the game I suppose...
