NCAA Football 10 is easily the best version of the game. With a refined AI and the most detailed sports simulation around (for real, it beats out every other GM mode in any game), it feels completely like a new game, unlike many follow-ups for sports titles that come out year after year.
The fantasy aspect of NCAA Football 10 is easily the biggest aspect of the game. Whether it’s being a hot young prospect in Road to Glory, managing an entire season in Dynasty Mode or building your own roster in the unbelievably robust Teambuilder, the game offers a level of immersion that both new and longtime fans can appreciate.
The new Teambuilder absolutely over-delivers, literally getting you to spend hours upon hours putting together your own teams, in a way no other game before it appears to have made possible. Add in your obscure small-town college and it won’t look out of place the least bit. Similarly, the recruiting simulation in the game has been beefed up, creating more entertaining opportunities to sway prospects in your direction.
With the actual gameplay, two new features stand out: improved AI and the addition of set-up plays. EA hyped up the counter-intelligence when they were promoting the game and, for the most part, wonderfully delivered. Not only does it add challenge, but it makes the whole game more realistic. The set-up plays are a great innovation, allowing you to mislead the opposing team into thinking you’re setting up one play, all while executing another.
The rest of the game flows much like the previous iteration in the series – a hell of a lot of fun. EA Sports NCAA Football 10 is available now for $60.
