NCAA Football 10 Review

By Carl Ferguson

Let's face it; practically everyone enjoys college football what with the sound of the band playing, helmets crashing together and of course the crowds roaring. In fact, the atmosphere can be so charged that it can literally send shivers down your spine. Even though nothing can quite take the place of the real thing, NCAA 10 certainly does come very close. With so many new features, the franchise has never been better so let's take a look at why you should consider getting the latest installment of NCAA 10.

First of all, one of the best things about NCAA Football 10 is that a lot of things remained the same. You're still going to get a very realistic football simulation. In fact, it's probably the most realistic thing you've ever seen. With the power of the next generation consoles, this franchise just gets more realistic every year.

While this year's version of NCAA Football certainly has a wealth of new features, you can of course still go online to compete with others. One noticeable difference is that there is now a new mode, known as "Season Showdown" which by all accounts can only be described as being extremely cool in that you get to play for your favorite school. Once you start playing, you choose the school of your choice and the more you play and win online, the more points you accumulate for the school of your choice. One should also bear in mind that you can play a number of interactive games as well as trivia games in order to earn points. When the end of the year arrives, one school will be awarded the "Season Showdown National Championship", which of course is a great way for you to become involved with others playing the game, and also to cheer for your school.

Undeniably, one of the best features of the game remain the "Dynasty" mode because essentially, with this version you can actually go on further in that you can create your very own school. This in turn allows you to put your stand on everything to do with your program in that you get to design the school's logo, pick the fight song, name the school, and also create your own team. In fact, you're even enabled to customize players to play on your team.

Of course it goes without saying that the actual game play is still unbeatable. Those who have become accustomed to playing Madden will immediately notice that this affords you the opportunity to play a different type of football. Being able to run the option is a great feature which of course is not available in an NFL game.

The game planning feature is extremely cool as well. This allows you to put emphasis on certain aspects of the game. If you're having trouble running the ball, put more emphasis on opening up the running lanes. However, you should know that this will increase the amount of holding calls that you get.

Perhaps the most welcome addition to the game is the new "play calling" mode which allows you to keep your opponents guessing and as such, you have an opportunity to catch them with their guards down.

Yes, It's not the real thing but as far as gains are concerned, there's really not much else out there which can be compared to NCAA Football 10. The bottom line is; as far as the gaming industry is concerned, NCAA Football 10 is without a doubt the leader in the field. If you want to once again lose yourself in college football, then go ahead and check out the game as soon as possible.
