Current Thoughts on NCAA Basketball 10
It is hard to believe but the release of NCAA Basketball 10 is just over three weeks away as it will arrive on November 17th. The demo will be out two weeks from today. EA has been releasing a barrage of trailers and short gameplay clips, however the actual features for the game remain unknown. No features list has been made available and no news on the game other than relating to presentation and motion offenses has come from previews. Because of this I'm concerned because the addition o...

New NCAA Basketball 10 Gameplay Video
Yet another new NCAA Basketball 10 video has been released. This one features some presentation examples from the CBS and ESPN broadcasts along with some gameplay featuring North Carolina @ Duke and Villanova @ Georgetown. While the video displays a Top 25 this is just the default Top 25 in the game and not a result of a dynasty mode simulation. Also for some reason the commentary barely audible which is a shame as that is an integral part of the presentation experience. Continue on to wa...

NCAA Basketball 10 Motion Offenses
Two new videos have been released for NCAA Basketball 10 that focus on the motion offenses. One features the numerous different types of motion offenses with an example of a team that runs each. The other is a tutorial of sorts that explains how the motion offenses are run with the new play calling controls. I really had no idea what was going on in the first video but the second one helps bring it all together. The movement and variation in the different offenses appears to be the main ...

NBA 2K10 Patch Details
2K Sports has announced the details of the first patch that is coming for NBA 2K10. With fundamental flaws such as poor framerate, online play still not even completely functional, and glitches in My Player mode this is a highly anticipated patch. The effectiveness of the patch will have to be evaluated after it is out because this is an extremely significant list. Having such core issues as concerns and expecting they will all have been addressed in two weeks time seems improbable. Patch...

NCAA Basketball 10 First Gameplay Videos
Thanks to Gamespot the first videos of actual gameplay are now out for NCAA Basketball 10. Two are from CBS presented games with Michigan @ Boston College and Auburn @ Kansas and one uses the ESPN presentation with Stanford @ Georgetown. Each runs just over a minute long. What I liked outside of the TV replicated presentation was the player movement on offense which looks very active and fluid. The commentary (CBS especially) feels a little empty at times which is probably because this is...

NCAA Basketball 10 Hands-On from IGN
IGN has posted up a hands-on article for NCAA Basketball 10. Primarily discussed is the new CBS and ESPN integrated presentation and the play calling. There are also a few mentions of the raucous crowd and gameplay compared to NBA Live 10. No new feature mentions are made so whether the game has added online dynasty is still unknown.

NCAA Basketball 10 Demo Dated
The official website for NCAA Basketball 10 has revealed that the demo for the game will be out on Friday November 6th. With that falling on a Friday it seems that it will be out for the 360 and PS3 on the same day otherwise the graphic should have specified otherwise. No news on what the demo will entail. Given the focus on presentation it is expected to feature a CBS or ESPN game. As for the teams involved it will likely be a rematch of the NCAA Championship between Michigan State and N...
