NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

[Rasco11]

I do have a few general questions. NOTE: I didn't get the game last year, so I don't know what the options were in 'NCAA 09 (regardless if they are the same this year).

-I'm sure you can change lineups/starters, etc., but is there any way to influence playing time with a slider? Is there a depth chart or slots for bench depth/rotations? Or do players only get playing time based on ratings?

-Can you change/edit faces to other preset faces? I don't mean individual features like eyes/nose, hair color, etc., but if say EA's default UK #54 player had a huge afro, could you choose a different head model that had different hair? Or if a player is mistakenly the wrong race/color...can you change that, or are you stuck with default?

-Can you change/edit equipment? Add or take off t-shirts, arm bands, shoes, etc?

-Can you add tattoos to players?

-And lastly, and at your own convenience (and if you happen to name a team or two)...do you hear the commentators say names from a database much during gameplay...ex. "Wall with the dunk," etc...and do the PA announcers say names after a score?

Thank you! Again, I apologize for not knowing the answers to this stuff from the '09 version, but the answers to these questions will help influence my decision to buy (and perhaps others?)

Enjoy the game...

imo, yes. I enjoyed last year's game very much. But the biggest draws for '10 over '09 are in my opinion:

*on court gameplay is sooooo much better. No more 2-3 zone being shutdown defense. New motion offense really adds to this aspect as well.


*recruiting and sim logic in dynasty mode.

*presentation

Didn't say anything about classic teams, havent checked that out yet.

Wall-81
Bledsoe-80
Miller-76
Dodson-79
Pat-84
Cousins-80
Orton-80

Some of the attributes are messed up though, Wall 3pt is 90 (too high) and Dodson 3pt is 63 (Way too low) thats all I noticed so far, I'll have to see if anything else is way off.

That's what I'd like to know, no more Classic teams?

Hey guys. I know cb said to not ask about ratings, but as a whole, how do the ratings look. On the demo I think the highest rated palyer was an 86. How good is the best player and are the ranges of ratings large between majors amd mid-majors?
