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

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... Read more

This is a great basketball game, but I wish there was a newer version to it. The part that sucks about it now, is that the ea servers for the game (I believe) are no longer available. When I first started playing the game, I could easily beat junior varsity mode, and had more fun playing varsity mode. Now, I'm playing all-conference mode and winning more than losing. Granted, I had limited experience playing ps3 basketball games in general (I play a lot of college football and madden), but if the servers were still up for this game it would have been a lot more fun in the long run.

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.
