I've seen mostly negative posts on this game over at OS lately-comparing it to Madden as if the 2 should be carbon copies of one another, even though the final version of Madden isn't out, have basically panned this game and praising Madden already. I say, not so fast! This game does have flaws, but Madden also does and will have flaws. You will see the same NCAA bashers going after Madden in a negative fashion within days of it's release, after the honeymoon is over-count on it.
College football doesn't play quite the same as pro football. Oh sure, they both basically go by the same rules and the fundamentals are comparable-But-Collgee football is very unpredictable and faster paced with more botched plays.
I like the gameplay in NCAA this time around-The presentation is lackluster, but it's an EA game-nuff said. I have had some very exciting, nail biting games/down to the wire games/blowouts and weirdo out of the blue plays from the AI.
I guess this post doesn't really make much of a statement, I just wanted to sound off and didn't want to post my thoughts at OS regarding my respect for NCAA this year. I'm sure I would have got bashed and called a fanboy or some s**t.
It does bother me that it is difficult to find a topic at OS where only the positives of NCAA are discussed. When people start to bitchin' about frickin' windsocks or calling a poster an idiot for saying they like a game, it's time for me to fly away from those bizarre forums.
If people don't like a game fine, but for the love of Mike-Just because someone likes a game does NOT make them a buffoon... Sorry for the rant-I needed to sound off somewhere.
You're not allowed to like NCAA 10 this year. :splat:

Any big forum results in the common impression to be pushed on people with the opposing viewpoints treated like idiots or at least under bigger scrutiny. Common impressions can be posted generically with no details. Opposing viewpoints have to be well thought out to survive.

The initial impressions of NCAA were 99% positive. And if anyone posted something negative they were critiqued. Now it's sort of the opposite. People just need to respect other people's opinions more. In the end, what does it really matter if someone else does or doesn't like a game. It's all up to you in the end.

Heck, I know most guys here are loving NCAA 10. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either. The camera is one of my biggest complaints along with the extra fast pass speeds. There are a few other annoying issues but I can still see good things with the game. I'd probably give it a 7.4/10 if I had to rate it on my one week rental. I really am surprised though over the lack of polish in the game. Some stuff should have never been released the way it was on the disc. Just my opinion though. I'm having fun with '09 while some guys hated that game.
