5.0 out of 5 stars Looks beautiful, solid gameplay, December 1, 2009

This review is from: NCAA Basketball 10 (Video Game)

NCAA Basketball 10 has a brand new presentation system that blows most other sports games out of the water. The game is either on ESPN or CBS, each with their specific commentators and presentation styles. The game looks beautiful, the floors and players are nicely detailed.

As far as gameplay, the new motion offenses are a lot of fun to control, probably the best improvement of the game. Like all sports games, penalties and such are relatively random, which you would expect. Overall, it is very user-friendly and play calling is easy to pick up.

The best part of the game is of course dynasty mode, where you control a program for up to 30 years. I would play it just for March Madness at the end of the year, which manages to add an extra dimension of excitement on the road to the Final Four.

1.0 out of 5 stars Frozen, Again???, January 19, 2010

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: NCAA Basketball 10 (Video Game)

The game-play is pretty good. Motion offense gives you more control when running your team while keeping the pace fast. Player movement is somewhat choppy, but decent for a basketball game. It would be nice if you had more control when defending players other than hands-up and take-charge. They should take out some AI and allow me to control.

There isn't much for new features, in fact, there really aren't many extra features. I also own NCAA Football 10, and there is plenty of fun stuff to do there.

Now, to the crippling problem of the game. When I first bought a copy, it froze every 3 - 4 games I played. Returned for another copy. Same thing. I just bought a new 360 last month, with the new chip set. This is absolutely unacceptable. If you are a patient person and don't mind continuously replaying games, then this one is for you. Otherwise, wait for a patch or just buy '09. How could this have possibly passed any reasonable QA testing?

For the first 2 weeks of owning this game I loved it, THEN it started freezing up. It appears to a huge issue with the game that I was not aware of until it happened to me. Unless EA comes out with a patch to fix the issue the game is worthless.
