For what's it's worth...
After going back and forth whether to sell NCAA 10 or not, I had to give it one more shot. I paid $60 for this game and I owed it to myself as a college bball junkie and my wallet.
1st thing I did was take the game for what it is. I've read all the posts and even some of my own. I threw them out the window. I was going into this with a clear head.
IMO, so many times we get wrapped up with the boards and wait for the first thing to go wrong. Lack of CPU 3 point shooting and kicking in out when they get the ball in the post. So, I figured I would ignore the post and like I said, take it for what it is.
What I found out was, this is one pretty damn fun bball game. Being a huge NCAA bball fan, I found this game feels like college ball. More turnovers, zone D's, motion O's, full court press, etc... I could go on but, it just feels like NCAA ball.
I know it doesn't do some things and after playing 5 games I've found that this is what I will be playing this fall and winter and depending on how I feel, I'll be playing this for a while. Coming from 2k10 to playing this, I can say I don't have the controls down but, I know I'll be ok soon.
The reason I even wanted to post this is because I realized that I needed to do one thing. Stop reading, posting and start playing. Like I said before, we as an OS community get so wrapped up in what we read and are so ready to stop playing because we are looking for what we've read. I'm guilty like so many here. I know there will be some people that just can't get into it and that's fine. IMO, this game is not for everyone. If you can get past what it doesn't do and start taking it for what it does, you'll find that this is college bball and it's done really well.
If you're on the fence still and haven't pulled the trigger wait a couple more weeks, go to game stop, pick up a used copy (you can return it within 7 days if you hate it) and play the game. DL some rosters, 360 or ps3 (I DL Jason's rosters and had to edit the player builds, way to big) and go in with an open mind. Don't look for the wrong, if you can, look for the good. IMO, EA did well.
Until next time fells,
Same dirty time, same dirty channel!

Yeah... this is good work. I had to do the same thing a while back. I found i was spending way to much time reading about what others were saying about games and posting my own thoughts instead of just playing and enjoying the games (or not) for myself. More people should take note.

I love the game as long as the freezing issues don't ruin it for me.
