NCAA Football 10 Review

[PolishHill]

As a fan of the Campus Legend mode I'm glad to hear about the new features turning out well but EA failing to improve the game's presentation is a huge problem in my opinion. I wish I could hold off purchasing the title but sadly I am weak and need a new football title to hold me over.

Madden's out in what, a month?

I don't see how people can't wait a couple weeks for what will obviously be a superior football experience.

so then how does this game get an 8. i think if i wrote this review, it would be a 7 or 6.5 with no major upgrades. I TOLD YALL SO!!!!! could have got this game last week but i didn't and the reason why is because i knew it was going to be the same think. thank God i just saved 62.09 at gamestop.

Are you serious dude? Did you read the part of the review where he said the gameplay is the best its ever been? Did you also read that if the game had better presentation it would have been a 9.0 to a 9.5?

Yea I was surprised by an 8, the way it was written made it sound like a 7ish..

Yea, but its not.. the game is clearly mediocre, with the exception of gameplay.

Edit: bad typo

The OS reviews are always the only ones worth reading IMO, and once again you guys don't disappoint. Agree that gameplay is getting better, but the game is so damn boring that the gameplay can only carry it so far. Madden has always had this problem as well until this year. Can NCAA please put forth an effort to make this actually seem like a college football game, and not some spring practice.

Well IMO gameplay trumps all.

Well, I'm in, regardless. I was playing the demo up until about 20min ago. I can't get enough of the gameplay, and that's all I care about. I'm not a big college football person, myself, anyway, so the presentation and the majority of the complaints about the game mean nothing to me. Madden is my game so this will tide me over until I see if I get as possessed by the Madden demos as I did with the NCAA demo.
With that said, I understand how many want the Madden 10 treatment on NCAA 10. Like I've said several times before, it is usually the norm that NCAA doesn't get the major game play improvements and such of the same year's Madden until the following year so I expect a MAJOR overhaul of presentation, addition of pro-tak, true gang tackling, refs, chain gangs, etc, etc. for NCAA 11...but we'll see.

True that the gameplay is the best it's been (for next gen) but honestly is that saying a lot. I'm still conflicted because Madden always gets so boring for me as I don't watch the NFL, but NCAA seems like a nice patch more than anything..
