Review - NCAA Football 10

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.

One of the most noticeable things about NCAA Football 10 is that a lot of things remain unchanged so of course you can still expect incredibly realistic football simulation. Thanks to the incredible power of the next generation consoles, it's probably the most realistic thing you've ever come across.

There are a lot of new features in this year's version of NCAA Football. Like previous years you can go online and play against other people. However, they now have a mode called Season Showdown. This is a very cool idea that involves playing for your favorite school. When you first get started, you're going to select one school that you'd like to play for. The more you play online and win, the more points you earn for your school. You can play trivia games and a lot of other interactive games to earn points. At the end of the year, the Season Showdown National Championship will be awarded to one school. This is a great way to interact with others playing the game and root 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.

The game play is still second to none. For those used to playing Madden, you get a different type of football game. For example, the ability to run the option is a fun feature that you don't get in an NFL game.

Another feature which is by all accounts very cool is the "game planning" which allows one to place emphasis on certain aspects of the game. For example, if you're experiencing difficulty at running the ball, you can simply choose to place more emphasis on opening up running lanes with this will of course result in more holding calls.

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.

The bottom line is; at present there is nothing out there really which can convey to NCAA Football 10 simply because it remains in a class of its own within the gaming industry. If you would like to once again lose yourself in the thrill and excitement of college football, then you the need to check the game out today.
