NCAA Basketball 10 Media & Info

Originally posted by JasonSGN It's always bothered me that college sports game don't usually sell as well as their pro counterparts. I'm not a college sports fan at all but I can appreciate a good sports game whether it's basketball, football or baseball. I have no idea who the players are, but if the game simulates the sport well, I don't care who I'm using. It's a shame more people don't feel the same way. If they did, we'd probably have an NCAA Baseball on this generation of systems.

Always boggled me with basketball. I mean you get 300+ teams, all the different arenas, college atmosphere, numerous play styles and matchups and the greatest sporting event known to man, March Madness. What do you get with the NBA? A long drawn out season and a playoff system that is usually not interesting until the last few rounds.  It is all about the superstars. Everybody wants to play as Kobe or Leborn.  Football could be similar if it followed a playoff similar playoff structure.

To be fair college baseball only existed due to EA Sports losing the MLB license.  College Baseball, hockey and lacrosse all have a following but none of them will ever be successful in video game form.

Well picked mine up, got the last gutted copy at Gamestop. I hate gutted copies because they have those sales stickers all over them.

I am enjoying it so far. A couple games in and the camera is much better than last years. I am playing on All-Conference and it is pretty challenging. I have noticed that the AI defense does a really good job playing the lanes and picking off passes. The presentation (especially ESPN games) is truly the best I have seen in a sports game.

I'm absolutely loving it so far, but then again, I don't pick games apart like some of the so-called experts. I'm not really seeing any of the issues mentioned on OS like a lack of human shooting fouls, CPU not taking threes and CPU big men not passing back out from the post. I'm not even having the issue with players stepping out of bounds like I did with the demo. The bottom line is that it's just fun to play.

To give you an idea of how much I like this game, I've gone in and given made-up names to all the players on my team (Rutgers) and know them all by name now. It reminds me of my days playing Bases Loaded on the NES with my fictional players that I formed a bond with.

Not playing anything right now. My PS3 is still in Perryton. I might be stopping up there to get it and my truck after my doctors appt in Amarillo next week.
