Fun:
I previously owned March Madness 2005 and Hoops 2K8, both for PS2. I know there are a lot of die hard 2K fans, but I really like the EA games better. In fact, I preferred MM 2005 over 2K8. I thought MM 2005 had a better "floor" angle camera which made me feel like I was in the game. 2K8 players seemed too shiny and the crowd noise bothered me as it seemed like it played in a constant loop with an annoying whistle.
That said, NCAA basketball 10 is a huge improvement over both of those games. First off, the graphics are much better, which should be a given since we're comparing PS2 vs. PS3. There are a lot of little cool features that are at least new to me since I haven't bought the EA version of the game since 2005:
-Real schedules (dynamic update required)
-Live scores and ESPN radio at the main menu. This seems to udpate several times per day.
-Real weather updates from your favorite school
-Easily download the rosters of real players names and the announcers will say SOME of the player's last names during the game
I really enjoyed the dynasty mode in MM 2005, but never got into it in 2K8. There doesn't seem to be that many improvements to the dynasty mode in 2010, but that doesn't bother me as much because I really enjoy online matches. Playing against real opponents is much more fun than playing agains the AI computer. Online games are generally fast (80% of the time), but once in awhile you'll get a choppy connection. It is fairly easy to find an opponent if you select "Play Now". Finding opponents to play in the lobbies is much more difficult. Online matches are fun too, because you get ranked compared to all other people.
The only bad part about playing online is 50% of my opponents seem to choose Kentucky, but they are pretty easy to beat if you double-team John Wall (point guard).
As other people have noted, there are some glitches. The one that I've seen the most is there is a bad camera angles that occur every once in awhile for an entire game. The only way to explain it is that the camera is not centered around the ball. For instance, when shooting a free throw, sometimes it shows the players feet, which makes no sense. This happens 1 out of every 20 games or so.
Another glitch is the crowd noise sometimes is really wrong. In a few games, the crowd booed the entire game, even when I was the home team and I was winning.
Other things that could be improved:
-There is no traveling in the game
-There are no "held / jump balls ", even though they have possession arrows
-The auto-subs needs to improve with the default settings (for online play). Michigan State will never sub during a 10-minute half during online play unless someone gets into foul trouble.
Overall, however, this game is a lot of fun and I recommend it if you're into college basketball. It's nice to have an option to not listen to Dick Vitale and choose CBS sports instead.

Fun:
These other reviews were overly harsh. The presentation of this game is beyond what has ever been seen in a college basketball game. It is almost like you are watching a game on TV.
My review is trying to resemble what reputable gaming websites say -- about a 7 or 8 out of 10. Everyone generally agrees that the new motion offense is very cool, and I really like that addition.
In the end, it depends on what you are looking for. If you want a TV-like experience, this is the game to get. Gameplay can be challenging at times, but you gain better graphics.

Fun:
Be careful with this game. It froze on me during dynasty mode. I actually got the game replaced by Amazon and the next copy did the same thing. EA Sports actually stated that they will not release a patch to fix the problems with this game. Beware!

Great game, too bad EA has stopped making NCAA basketball
If you love college basketball, you'll love this game. Unfortunately, its the last one EA will make, as they have stopped producing the NCAA basketball game franchise.
