Or that the patch would do equal harm and good? I'm always honest and don't try to back something just because I bought it, I was critical of Live after a while and sold it.

I will back up Ehh here...he definitely gave some great insights in NBA Live. Positive and negative...with good reasoning for the pros and cons. Very balanced.

Thankfully, EA listened to the criticism leveled at the March Madness series and decided to start from scratch. The result was NCAA Basketball 09. NCAA Basketball 09 corrected many of the nagging issues from the March Madness series and implemented a core experience that could be built upon in future iterations of the series. While the game was ultimately crippled by some annoying bugs (for example, playing zone against the CPU would force an ungodly amount of turnovers) and a lackluster dynasty mode, the overall game was a very solid Freshman effort by EA. 2008 marked the year that the developers at EA once again made their college basketball offering relevant. And now with the first week of college basketball upon us, it is only natural that EA has released NCAA Basketball 10. Touting revolutionary television presentation, an all-new motion offense mechanic and yearly team and player "dynamic" updates, NCAA Basketball 10 is ready to up the tempo and try to run all other 2009 hoops competition out of the gym. So is the game ready to ascend to the level of a UNC, UCLA and Michigan State, or is NCAA 10's bubble going to burst well before March? Read More - NCAA Basketball 10 Review

I'd give it an 8 based on just presentation and fun factor alone.

To each his own though. I don't agree, but it's a well written review.

Could not agree with you more. However, it seems that Playmaker is hold a grudge against EA as of late.

I love the presentation. I actually think the CBS commentators do a very good job with this being their first year on here. But the dynasty lacks to much for me to keep playing this game.

I get the feeling that the presentation on here was somewhat of a trial run for the bigger titles (Madden,NCAA FB). Because there really isn't much more to this game to me.

I still think I may have to get this game the impressions thread has me sold.

How about this guys

This isnt about a 2k fanboy, Playmakers, or anyone in particular.

If someone thinks a game isnt up to par they arent a fanboy, they just think it isnt up to par.

That said, STOP making this thread about any particular poster and focus on the review itself.

The review was overly harsh and I gave my reason, however we have people coming on here and talking about the review and the retail version when they have only played the demo. I was NOT calling Playmaker a fanboy. sorry if I was derailing the tread.
