NCAA Football 10 Review

By Carl Ferguson

College football is something that nearly everyone enjoys. The sound of helmets crushing together. The crowd roaring and the band playing. The atmosphere just sends chills down the spine of every football fan. While there is no replacement for the real thing, NCAA Football 10 comes pretty darn close. The franchise has never been better and there are a lot of new features to check out. Why would you want to get the latest installment of NCAA Football 10? Let's look at the details.

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.

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.

The dynasty mode is still one of the best features of the game. With this version, you can actually take it a step further and create your own school. Creating your own school is a great way to put your stamp on every single thing that has to do with your program. You're going to name the school, design the logo, pick the fight song, and create your team. You can even customize individual players to play on your team. It's a great feature and it just adds to the overall intrigue of dynasty mode.

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.

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.

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.
