  1. To be sure, NCAA Football 10 is less about major on-field adjustments, and more about expanding the game’s universe. An ambitious list of new options headlines this year’s effort, and most are welcome additions that’ll make you think twice before trading it in the day Madden hits stores.

    NCAA Football 10 is no doubt the best college football game I have ever played. This year's outing still doesn't take the series to the next level like some were hoping it would (and it appears that Madden is doing), but it perfects the formula as much as possible.
  3. The features are there, and I’m glad that the on-the-field play is making strides forward and that it captures the excitement of a college football program that isn’t dominant, but which is more than capable of thrilling its fans.
  4. What could've been a five-star prospect quickly became a solid backup. Unless you're a college football fanatic, we suggest waiting for Madden NFL 10.

    Just an overall awesome college experience. Season Showdown looks to be great fun. I can't believe the "experts" give it a lower score cause it "can't compare to madden". Rate the game on it's own merits. Oh well, if you loved '09, then you'll love '10 even more. Expand

    Always a quality game and thankfully not too many swing for the fences changes from last years game. However, the cpu defense was tweaked too much. CPU will blitz 95% of plays, and jam WR's on 95% of plays. It is not easy to stand in the pocket and wait for your WR's to get open when an all out blitz is coming on every down. The jamming goes beyond the 5 yard limit as well and they are not able to run the proper route. I understand the attempt to make the CPU competition tougher to beat, but there needs to be a better way than making them blitz all the time. Also, the tip balls by the defensive lineman is a bit too much as well. On the rare occurrences you have an open look the D line will swat away your pass. Expand

    Alll in all the ncaa 10 is a good game but not great, the turnovers are horrible how can they expect anyone to to play for fun or competion with the turnovers like they are plus defensive line swats are completetly outrageous.And if i wasn't a fan of ncaa i would have never purchased this game or even recommended it.

    Worst game ever. Do the EA guys play this game when they are done with it? Do they know they created Superman defenders who can magically find themselves in front of passes they were not physically in position for? Do they know the AI for offensive lineman is equal to the IQ of a half eaten pickle? Do they notice the horrible pass interference the CPU does on every play, yet USER defenders are brushed aside like little kids. It makes me wonder what those clowns at EA are doing! Expand
