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

How's the rebounding fellas?

Does the CPU try and go back up all the time from offensive rebounds? Meaning every trip down the court is effectively "one and done". (Like in LIVE 10...gamekiller for me)

Or do they re-set some of the time and actually use some strategy? Kick it out when when they need a 3 ball etc?

Can you box out at all in this game? (LIVE 10 is terrible for this)

Dammm...that doesn't sound good.

NBA Live is very generic this season...bigs are all pretty much the same and play the same...i was really hoping the NCAA game would be a bit more player specific. How bad is it?

If you think Live is generic (which I don't by the way) NCAA is super generic. Certainly not player specific. Without signature styles, the only thing that can make this game feel not generic is if they nail the team styles. Not much differentiation or individualism based off of the demo.

Based off of the demo this game is the white box with CORN FLAKES in black letters generic.

The above reason is what it exactly what is keeping me away. Hope those who do buy enjoy it. I'll stick to the other game this year. Peace!!!!

I believe James is referring to NBA 2K10.

Oh ok, well apples and oranges that is...

[ehh]

The more stuff I see and read I don't think I'm going make this game a Day One purchase, I can't justify it.

The generic individualism is what killed the game for me last year and if they didn't really improve that then I don't see the point in getting this game - it will be inferior to Live no matter the other game play improvements they made. Playing my one year in dynasty mode with UConn this became so apparent. Georgetown, Pitt and Cuse were the same. Villanova, Notre Dame and Louisville were the same. If I team was wearing plain white uniforms I would have no clue who I was playing (outside of maybe Cuse with their 2-3 zone). All that mattered in NCAA 09 was tempo, it didn't matter if you had a 90 overall PF or a 75 ovr, it played the same on offense.

Plus pre-patch out of the box there is no way the game will be better than Live so what's the point of having the game sit on my shelf for six weeks waiting for a patch after spending $60 on it?

I buy two bball games each year and to me it makes way more sense to pick up 2K10 (still gotta test PS3 post-patch) because it compliments Live so well. Maybe I'll pick this up in Feb/March on eBay for cheap or maybe I'll get it for Christmas, we'll see.
