Review - NCAA Football 10

By Carl Ferguson

With the sound of helmets crashing together and the roaring of the crowds, there's nothing quite like college football so it's hardly surprising that virtually everybody loves it. Even the sound of the band playing can often send chills down your spine. Admittedly, while there may not be anything capable of replacing the real thing, NCAA Football 10 certainly does come pretty. In fact, there are so many new features to explore; it would be fair to say that the franchise has never been better than it is now. Let's go ahead and take a look at a few reasons why you should consider getting the latest installment of NCAA Football 10.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The game planning feature is extremely cool as well. This allows you to put emphasis on certain aspects of the game. If you're having trouble running the ball, put more emphasis on opening up the running lanes. However, you should know that this will increase the amount of holding calls that you get.

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.

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.
