NCAA Football 10 Review
NCAA Football 10 is a great football game that offers a new level of accessibility for newcomers, but keeps the core mechanics that veterans love. Giancarlo Varanini makes a break for the end zone in this NCAA Football 10 video review.
The Good
* Season Showdown is surprisingly addictive
* Defensive aids create accessibility and work well
* Running game finally feels right
* Teambuilder offers plenty of great customization.
The Bad
* Still some spotty AI
* Nickel-and-diming bonuses are glorified cheats
* Beyond Erin Andrews, Road to Glory isn’t a big change.
The theme for NCAA Football 10 is simple: Play the game the way it's meant to be played. Whether it's an entirely new mode or a gameplay option that helps with defensive play, nearly every addition to EA's college football series feels like it's there to nudge you into becoming a better all-around player.
For the most part, these new features work well--especially if you don't understand some of the intricacies of the sport--and they're executed in a way that preserves the depth that NCAA 10 offers the pros. But even for those people who already know where to move a linebacker in certain kinds of zone coverage or how to use setup plays, NCAA 10 offers some satisfying mechanics that enhance the already fundamentally sound gameplay.
