NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

01:12 PM - November 20, 2009 by RaychelSnr

No franchise was more in need of a makeover last fall than EA's (formerly known as) March Madness series. The crescendo of the franchise's downfall came with March Madness 08, which turned out to be the equivalent of a number 16 seed after the first day of the NCAA Tournament -- routed by a vastly superior opponent and lucky to even have been invited to the big dance. 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?

Well I have been busy getting my sliders where I want them...now that's done......May the Harangody hook shot rain down upon The Cardinals many, many, many times.

By the way...we are talking about the same team who beat Morgan St. by 9 points right.

And the same Samuels guy who is avg. 18 and that Luke guy who is avg 27pts and 9 rbnds a game....

Just checkin

Damn, I can't find this game anywhere. I'll check again on Black Friday.

I don't know how else to say this,but this game BLOWS (and mind you I am judging from the Demo)! This only way for this game to be ANY good is if it is a completely different game than the demo in EVERYWAY. This game makes last year's game look as good as NCAA 2K8.... Bujt I'm not going to taint anyone from this game, just download the DEMO and see for yourself, I assure you that you will promptly delete the demo and forget this game even exists. But then this is what happened to madden after they baught the NFL license too.... I'm still playing NCAA 2K8.... Wanna be a millionaire? Figure out how to make updated NCAA 2K8 rosters that work online. I'll give you the first $25.

most of us didn't delete the demo. Instead we went out and bought the retail.

Have fun with 2k8 man. Glad you have an alternative to get your college b-ball fix.

Unbelieveable

I really don't understand the need for people to come on these forums and continue to point out how they won't be paying for this game. I really doubt that matters to anyone. The blatant bashing and constant EA attacks get really old. If you don't like the game you don't have to play it.

If you don't own the game. Go away.

Thanks.

Not to mention people that only played the demo are telling everyone how shatty the game is.

Played the demo, thought it was average! Bought the game, and loving it! Have a nice day and continue to judge games based off demos, only to write a unnecessary paragraph of negativity!

I don't understand it either. If you don't like the game, thats fine. This negative garbage from people who haven't even bought the retail version...and obviously just come in here to cause problems.

It just gets old

Man, if you're not feeling the game...fine. Come in like an adult and explain why( preferably in the impressions thread

) but stuff like.."Games garbage...EA Blows" ...is not adding anything to the conversation.

Here is a site that is more up your alley

I keep hearing people say "rate this game in a couple weeks / months and see if it's still good". I say to those who say they hate it (based on demo) to tell me you still hate it / don't have it after that same time after you see that majority of the consumers really enjoy it.
