NCAA Basketball 10 Available, Post Impressions Here

played the game already, the presentation is just astounding.

everything looks better than last year imo. only concern for me is i cant steal the ball by anticipating through the passing lanes anymore like last year's.

I kept on trying pressing the steal button when CPU tries to inbound, in front of the guy the CPU is passing to, and my controlled player does nothing. and when i anticipate a pass and cut through the passing lane, i try pressing the steal button again when the CPU makes a pass and my player just ran through it. either that or im just WAAAAAAAY to slow on pressing.

really not a big factor though, im enjoying the game...

Seriously dude, you've played the game 1 day and you're ready to call it a waste? I haven't played it, but it would have to be a total disaster for me to play a game 1 day, and call it a waste of money.

Well I finally have the game and must say I am pretty damn happy. I just finished taking the Irish against the Golden Eagles and won by 11. After only 1 game its obviously too early to see all the pros and cons......but to me there are a lot more pros than there are cons.

Its no 2k8.......but I knew it wasn't going to be, and I didn't expect it to be. If that was my mind set...I would not have bought the game in the first place. The crowd was electric and alive, the commentary was good and never lagged, and the fun I had was more than I was hoping for.

Some slider tweaks here and there...and I feel very confident this will take care of college hoops need through out the winter. I could really tell the difference between using the likes of Luke Harangody and Ben Hansbrough vs my bench guys. The computer team really does focus on the team game as opposed to one individual...which can be good or bad...we will see.

If you're looking for a hard core sim, you may want to look else where. If you're looking for a fun game that does a good job of replicating the college game...I think you will be happy.

Just got the game, I'm going to play a default Varsity 20 minute half game with UConn vs Notre Dame to see how much ND tries to feature Harangody in their offense.

countryboy, thanks again for all of your impressions. I've got a couple of questions....

It may be difficult to notice, but have you seen any enhancements to the "set the tempo" feature they gave us last year? Is it still as important to stick with the tempo you initially set for your team? Do you notice a drop in performance from either your players or the CPU when they play ouside their tempo?

Also Homecourt advantage - do you notice any benefits for being the home team? I guess what I am wondering is what makes a gym one of the "toughest places to play"? Will Duke players receive a ratings boost or will the opposing team's rating slightly decline when playing at Cameron Indoor? Or is it just as simple as a little "shaking" of the screen?
