NCAA Basketball 10 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions (PS3/360)

[ehh]

I love when dudes slap monetary limits on certain games.

This game is only worth $42.28, I would never spend $60 on it.

Also, the shake cam comes into effect when you take the lead, which is cool. The controls feel pretty solid, much improved over last year's mess. The game pretty much feels like Live but the feel is geared towards college. The other thing you will notice is that the players are a touch smaller so the spacing is much better than Live. Running the motion offense is fun and to see guys fight through screens is outstanding...

yup u nailed it...

Even on Broadcast Zoom the camera is farther away. I have a feeling that EA stating that 60% of the development cycle was spent on presentation and broadcast integration will come back to haunt this game. Game play wise it just seems unpolished. Rushed. Here's hoping the demo was from a really early build. We'll see.

Played more of the demo and it FEELS like a demo not a final retail. theres times when there's annoying hiccups as well. overall though if it's anything like the demo i'll be happy for once with a game out of the box

well that sucks.

Oh well....only a week or so to go.

I know one other dude who has XBL but he works nights so I might not be able to get over to his place. But yeah, only nine more days anyway.

I'm not really worried bout the demo anyway, I've played enough of Live 10 and seen enough vids of the demo. I think the retail is going to be a lot better than the demo based on what I see in Live now and the difference between Live's demo and retail (and post patch).
