I previously owned March Madness 2005 and Hoops 2K8, both for PS2. I know there are a lot of die hard 2K fans, but I really like the EA games better. In fact, I preferred MM 2005 over 2K8. I thought MM 2005 had a better "floor" angle camera which made me feel like I was in the game. 2K8 players seemed too shiny and the crowd noise bothered me as it seemed like it played in a constant loop with an annoying whistle.

That said, NCAA basketball 10 is a huge improvement over both of those games. First off, the graphics are much better, which should be a given since we're comparing PS2 vs. PS3. There are a lot of little cool features that are at least new to me since I haven't bought the EA version of the game since 2005:

-Real schedules (dynamic update required)

-Live scores and ESPN radio at the main menu. This seems to udpate several times per day.

-Real weather updates from your favorite school

-Easily download the rosters of real players names and the announcers will say SOME of the player's last names during the game

I really enjoyed the dynasty mode in MM 2005, but never got into it in 2K8. There doesn't seem to be that many improvements to the dynasty mode in 2010, but that doesn't bother me as much because I really enjoy online matches. Playing against real opponents is much more fun than playing agains the AI computer. Online games are generally fast (80% of the time), but once in awhile you'll get a choppy connection. It is fairly easy to find an opponent if you select "Play Now". Finding opponents to play in the lobbies is much more difficult. Online matches are fun too, because you get ranked compared to all other people.

The only bad part about playing online is 50% of my opponents seem to choose Kentucky, but they are pretty easy to beat if you double-team John Wall (point guard).

As other people have noted, there are some glitches. The one that I've seen the most is there is a bad camera angles that occur every once in awhile for an entire game. The only way to explain it is that the camera is not centered around the ball. For instance, when shooting a free throw, sometimes it shows the players feet, which makes no sense. This happens 1 out of every 20 games or so.

Another glitch is the crowd noise sometimes is really wrong. In a few games, the crowd booed the entire game, even when I was the home team and I was winning.

Other things that could be improved:

-There is no traveling in the game

-There are no "held / jump balls ", even though they have possession arrows

-The auto-subs needs to improve with the default settings (for online play). Michigan State will never sub during a 10-minute half during online play unless someone gets into foul trouble.

Overall, however, this game is a lot of fun and I recommend it if you're into college basketball. It's nice to have an option to not listen to Dick Vitale and choose CBS sports instead.

This is a great basketball game, but I wish there was a newer version to it. The part that sucks about it now, is that the ea servers for the game (I believe) are no longer available. When I first started playing the game, I could easily beat junior varsity mode, and had more fun playing varsity mode. Now, I'm playing all-conference mode and winning more than losing. Granted, I had limited experience playing ps3 basketball games in general (I play a lot of college football and madden), but if the servers were still up for this game it would have been a lot more fun in the long run.

Ok, first off let me say this....I am a long time fan of college basketball and EA Sports ever since NBA Live 95. With that being said, College Hoops 2k8 is the BEST NCAA B-Ball game ever made...BUT, NCAA Basketball 10 by EA is a close 2nd and has somethings that the 2k series doesn't and hasn't had that are great!

I LOVE THIS GAME.....I really do, I have been playing it for 2 years now, and it is very good. Being that EA already has over 10 sports titles, including Madden, Fifa, NBA Jam, etc, and 2k only has like what? 4 games to focus on? Give EA a break and to have their hands full...this game is DAMN GOOD!

The commentary is authentic, the courts are great. Unlike 2k the online mode is flawless, not much lag...and this game has never froze on me. The dynasty mode and player models are very well made and thought out. You can play up to a 30 year dynasty with any team of your choice. After the season there is also the McDonalds All American game....and the NIT. The ball handling is also better than any 2k bball game that I have ever played! You can also take over a smaller school and take them to the NCAA with other job offers along the way.

This game does have flaws and glitches, but what game doesn't? This is an overall FUN and GREAT game, there are even people that have done very good roster updates online for the 2010-2011 season that you can download for FREE! Sorry for you Xbox "brown nosers". If you dont have this game, get it.....and get it now! It is the last for a while by EA, but you can find it cheaper at a pawn shop Im sure. Is this the best b-ball game ever? NO, but you 2k punks quit hating until you play it for at least a week, ENJOY FOLKS!!!!!!
