Sorry if this has already been discussed, but is there a coach mode or any way of playing that would be similiar to a coach mode?

There is no coach mode.

I finally caved and bought the game today and I'm really enjoying it so far. Last years game was my first EA college B-Ball game and while it was different and exciting, it was too unpolished and just didn't pull me in to play multiple games.

I've obviously only played it for a day, but I am extremely impressed. The 2 different telecasts is something I always dreamed about but never thought I'd see in a game (especially hearing the CBS music after a timeout: awesome!) I can see the different telecasts keeping things fresh throughout dynasty. I love how teams and players feel "different". I was playing as Mich St. and with Lucas I was able to drive and get to the line (where I found out that real FT% is actually in the game, a huge surprise). I got a big lead and subbed the bench in and sure enough there was a definite talent drop and I could actually feel it.

Also, I can emphasize enough how great the motion offense feature is. In ANY basketball game I played I always used to get annoyed how my players would just stand around after I ran a play, almost as if they had no idea how to move without the ball unless it was a scripted play. Here, I just tap LB (360) and guys move according to my offense and it's a thing of beauty to watch. Again, it makes the game stay fresher as I don't feel like I'm just seeing the same few plays run over and over again.

Between the motion offense and telecast packages, this game feel so much more polished it's unbelievable. There are still some issues that I'm sure I'll find frustrating (the CPU ball movement/shot selection is a little iffy), but the college B-ball fans on the fence about this game should go get it. And thanks again to the guys who put in the hard work on the rosters!!

Just bought NCAA 10. I am 7 games into my dynasty using the OS rosters and Authentic's sliders. I love ESPN and CBS presentation with the stat overlays and stuff but I just can't get into it. The gameplay stinks in my opinion and not having the player name icon underneath the CPU player is killer. I was hoping the presentation would keep me into this came throughout the winter but that isn't looking good for me. I popped in 2K8 tonight and downloade the newest rosters.

Anyone else feeling this way?

Not me. Still liking the game. I just wish the CPU would pass the ball out once it got down in the post. Other than that I'm not going back to 2k8. Sorry it didn't work out for you.

How does the gameplay stink? Because there is no icon name at the bottom?? Give examples so we can all comment to see if it is what we all are experiencing. Don't just say it sucks and oh by the way I popped in 2k and it was end all. Getting old
