Review - NCAA Football 10

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.

Even though most things have stayed the same with regards to NCAA Football 10, there's still no doubt that you'll get to enjoy a the most realistic football simulation. In fact you've probably never even come across something as realistic as this, thanks to the amazing power of the next generation consoles. It cannot be denied that NCAA Football 10 simply gets better and better each year.

Just as is to be expected, this year's version incorporates numerous new features but of course, just as in previous years, you can still play against other people online. In fact, the game now includes a mode known as "Season Showdown" in which you get to play fore your favorite school. To start with; you get to choose one school to which you would like to play and of course, the more you play and win, the more points you end up getting for your school. In addition to trivia games, there are also a number of other interactive games you can play in order to win points. When you get to the end of the year, the school with the most points is awarded the Season Showdown National Championship. Of course, as you can imagine, this is an ideal way for you to interact with a number of other players, not to mention the fact that you get to cheer your school on.

Even with many new features, one simply cannot deny that the dynasty mode remains one of the ultimate features of the game given that you are able to take the game a step further by creating your own school. When you do this, you of course get the opportunity to name your school, pick a fight song, design a school logo, and of course, you get to create your very own team. Interestingly enough, you can even customize certain individual players in order 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.

Another very well come addition to the game is the "play calling" mode. Essentially, this makes it possible for you to catch your opponents off guard, by keeping them guessing. Also, you have the opportunity to run several plays out off the same formation.

Overall, there's just nothing out there quite like NCAA Football 10. It is unmatched in the gaming industry and it is the leader in the field for a reason. Check out the game today and immerse yourself in college football again.
