Yeah it's going on 3 hours and last time I checked it was like at 14%. I have a wireless adapter. Maybe I should move the Xbox to the other room and hook it up directly to the router.

This just seems so basic I cant believe they left it out. Why? Its not hard to program I'm sure because its been in piratically every other sports game, and they got a lot of criticism on it last year. Upsetting that such an easy fix was left out, that you think would be a given when you buy a sports game.

Liking the gameplay, mostly. Hate the cameras. I play on Baseline High on Live and all they really have is Floor, which offers no depth perception and Overhead which is waaaay too zoomed out. If they don't offer zoom options in final, I'm not doing it. Sad too, Presentation is top notch.

Re: NCAA Basketball 10 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions (360)

My thoughts on the demo

THE GOOD:

1. The motion offense is great, works well
2. The gameplay is improved greatly as expected
3. Smoother menus and more camera angles, but it seems lacking( the cameras)
4. It is harder to score which is great
5. New passing is a plus just like live
6. There are more offensive rebounds
7. Made basket annimations and misses are better
8. Better collision animations
9. "Sucktion" appears gone from fast breaks

THE BAD:

1. The crowd seems to be unaware of changes in gameplay and momentum at times, i.e. getting louder when the home team has the ball, not cheering after a made basket, getting very loud for 5 seconds and after a positive play by the home team becoming quiet- this was not put together with alot of thought its as simple as that.

2. I did not see any player stats wipes such as pts scored in 3 games I played, they have the fictional major but no update for individual player stats.

3. Yep its unbelieveable, no player name under the cpu- that is an epic fail, and worthy of a no purchase for me, just my opinion.

4. Every player seems to have the same dribbling ability

5. The players body sizes are NBA type at least thats how they appear when unedited

6. So UNC has a bunch of players rated in the low 80s, whats this mean for the ratings?

They had better have done something with dynasty because as good as the presentation is it will get old trust me.

Well I played about 5 games of the demo. Played as both teams. I was BLOWN AWAY by the smooth and fluid gameplay.

The crowd and the presentation was definitely the winning factors of this game. I actually felt like I was watching a game on tv. At one point I was on the edge of my seat, caught up in the moment of the game as we were going bucket for bucket. (lol) I didn't want the demo to end (NBA Live 10 had this same effect on me when I played the demo). EA deserves props for bringing the excitement back to basketball video games while keeping true to the game.

Play calling was excellent, and defense in my opinion is better in NCAA 10 than in Live 10. Seems EA used Live 10 as the guinea pig to see how their new changes this year would go over. And NCAA is by far a more polished product (out-the-box) that is.

Bottomline: This game is by far the BEST college basketball video game to date. This game should put to rest the great debate about College Hoops 2K series being the the King. This game has raised the bar not only for college basketball games but for sports gaming as a whole. With a combination of extrememly nice and smooth gameplay, beautiful graphics, and the best presentation ever in a college basketball game........

This game is a MUST BUY in my eyes for all True Basketball Fans!!!

Great Job EA.....Nice way to bounce Back!!!

That remains to be seen. I'm waiting on a game to dethrone that one so I still have it. Neither of the 09 NBA games could make me ditch that game

Can anyone else give me insight on this statement?
