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.

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.

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.

Over and above what has already been mentioned, the game planning feature is also incredibly cool in that it allows you to put to a certain amount of the emphasis on the game. In other words, one can always decide to put more emphasis on opening up running lanes should you be having trouble running the ball. Of course, you do need to bear in mind that if you do this it will result in you getting more holding calls.

The strategic playcalling mode is a welcome addition to the game as well. This allows you to keep your opponents guessing and catch them off guard. You can run several different plays out of the same formation. Catch them sleeping with a play-action pass or a reverse.

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.
