NCAA Basketball 10: 5 Things to Know

12:58 PM - October 7, 2009 by Jab_Step

ESPN has posted an article on the 5 things you need to know about NCAA Basketball 10.

Quote:


	"There isn't a sport more desperate for a video game makeover than college basketball. In fact, it can be argued that EA Sports is still trying to "catch up" to the best college hoops game ever made, "Coach K." Only problem is, that game was published more than ten years ago, and if you're trying to play "catch up" to a decade-plus-old experience, well, that says a lot about your product over the past few years. But according to "NCAA Basketball 10" line producer Connor Dougan, all of that is about to change. While EA actually made great strides with the 09 version, it's "NCAA Basketball 10" that he says will finally make the college franchise feel fresh, "and not just play like a pro game with college uniforms."

It all depends on the dynasty mode Sage. If it's legit then it could be a fun winter.

LOL. That's what I thought when I read that, too. This game has gone from being completely off my radar to Day 1 must-buy.

Absolutely. Positively. Without a doubt. The. Best. Post. I. Have. Ever. Read. Ever.

If Duke plays OOC away from Cameron Indoor, you best believe it's gonna be on a neutral court. True story: Duke wanted a series with Arizona years back. Coach K actually told Lute Olson Duke would play one home game at Duke, and one road game..........in NEW JERSEY! Of course we know what Olson's response was. And Olson was the one who broke this story. Unbelievable.

He's pulled the same stunt with UConn and Calhoun the last decade. The only way K will agree to a series is if UConn's "home game" is at MSG. **** that, grow a pair Coach K.

Boeheim used to be like this for years, too, until recently when he finally realized that playing tough out of conference games on the road help you out down the road when the Selection Committee meets.

I'm happy to see all the excitement back for a college basketball game this year. It's been a while since I've been this anxious to see what rolls out from this series as well. I am just about sold on what appears to be improved presentation and gameplay. I'm reserving my nod for "most improved EA title" until I see what is being done about the Dynasty issues. The top 25, ability of small schools to become immediate powerhouses, and recruiting need to be overhauled completely. I saw in one the game trailers that GA Tech was ranked in the top 25; with a 15-17 record! Uh-oh. I hope this gets fixed. I'll keep my fingers crossed because I've been feenin for a good CBB game.

Man if the Dynasty is borked again this year i'll be PISSED. All that great presentation gone to waste.

# 51 knickstorm @ 10/13/09 04:04 AM

certainly a lot of potential......i know they said more real broadcast angles, but will the angle change by itself during the games? all the state overlays and graphics are cool, but it better be accurate and right.

# 52 dickey1331 @ 10/13/09 06:58 AM

i dont even like basketball and im getting excited about this game

# 53 TY05 @ 10/14/09 01:21 PM
