Frozen, Again???, January 19, 2010

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.

I have never experience problems that other players have, and with the downloadable rosters, this game makes NCAA 11 unnecessary. Definitely a good time of the year to be playing some college basketball, and although the price is kinda spendy on it, it is well worth it for any college basketball fan.
