NCAA Basketball 10 Blog: Dynamic Updates

[thmst30]

I really hope they thought this through and made it work with named rosters. Otherwise it is useless to me personally. I absolutely cannot play with #'s when there are named rosters available. If these dynamic updates don't preserve the names then I don't see 99.9% of OS ever using it.

Yaw, how does this differ from the Blue Ribbon team updates from NCAA BBall 09?

I have no idea how that will work. How will it work with non base-rosters? From what I'm guessing, we'll have to use the same rosters as out of the box for this to work.
Too bad for everyone that likes to play as a mid-major because those teams will be screwed up.

I'm cool into the game comes out. Really at this point we know the big feature, hands on is the only way to give further evaluation. Thanks for posting though.

I want to buy EA's game, but I need dynasty info...will their be a selection show, etc? I am torn on which to do, as I love college hoops.

Last year my wife found new coppies of ch8 and nba8 online. I do hope NCAA10 dynasty is vastly improve because the game itself looks good with presentation and all. I am just one of those guys that wants realism. I dont want in my dynasty 16 seeds beating 1. I also remember when the march madness serious leading scorer in the nation would be like 18 ppg, not sure if that was the case last year because it was so poor I quit playing. I also want in-game injuries which they did not have last year just like live this year which is real upsetting.

Plenty of people will buy it on release day and complain about all of its faults on this message board. Then you can read descriptions and feedback from non-EA personnel to make an informed decision about your purchase. Cool your jets and have patience for one more week.

I agree completely. They do not owe us anything. If they do not want to say anything about Dynasty, they do not have to...and if you do not like it, don't buy it.

Thanks. At times I probably get too bothered myself and get close the crossing the line. I will try to keep it toned down when I am upset about a game. Hoping the game will surprise me.

Seems like fluff to me. The Season Showdown equivalent. Even the blog did not seem to exude much excitement about the feature. Sometimes I wonder how much control the developers have over the features. I get the impression that marketing and management tend to favor features like this; features they hope to have appeal to the average consumer.

Dynamic updates won't have much of an impact on dynasty. I really want to get a college bball game but just can't get excited about this game with what appears to be the same dynasty, plus tweaking.

I am somewhat dismayed by the general direction of the game. I don not think dynamic updates will help the logevity of the game as much as something like online dynasty would have. Heres hoping for online dynasty next year.

I bet sales are sluggish and I would not blame the economy.
