NCAA Basketball 10 is the last college basketball game ever made. While College Hoops 2K8 was the best one in my opinion, the presentation found in EA's offering is probably the best we've ever seen in a sports game. There isn't TOO much to talk about with this title, so it's a short video, but I'd rather keep it sweet than stretch it to ten minutes.

I remember over at OS forums we were waiting for a patch that never came. The game was actually pretty good the main weakness was AI players never passed out of the post
Both are fantastic games and appeal to two separate players perfectly. NCAA Basketball 10 was a much prettier and better sounding game, and had a better pick up and play gameplay. Dynasty was straight-forward as well. But the game lacked depth and eventually left players wanting more. When you want to play a college basketball game in a little bit of free time, NCAA Basketball 10 is your game. College Hoops 2K8 is kind of ugly in comparison and doesn't have great audio either. Its simulation gameplay presents a learning curve for new players. But 2K8 has tons of depth. Custom arenas, custom plays/formations, custom chants. Better recruiting and that awesome weekly show in career mode that immerses you in the entire college basketball landscape, not just your team or conference. If you have time to immerse yourself in a college basketball game, you chose 2K8.
Im literally playing it as this video came out. If Ncaa10 had the off-seson/recruiting 2k8 had, it would've been the best ever.

I love your content, bro. At least we get a little taste of college basketball in 2k21; although I hope one day that we’ll have a full-fledged college basketball game.
I have a back up copy and play this game the whole Jayhawks Season. I love this game to this day. Thank god they put the edit feature in because it makes the game timeless. I update my teams roster every year and usually update the team we are playing. If it didn’t have that I wouldn’t enjoy the game. Great video subbed!
The only thing that i disliked about the video was that it ended. Amazing quality and content. Keep up the great work 👏👏

Yep I remember ncaa 10 well, played nearly identical to live 10 and the presentation was prettt wild back then.
Love this game!! Thank you!! (Also, the EA NHL games from a few years back used the NBC graphics packages and made for a really cool broadcast style presentation experience but nothing has been on the level of this game since).
Thank you so much for posting a video of one of my favorite games. I thought multiple presentations would be the future of sports gaming, instead of a once in a lifetime experience.
Your videoes are so damm good bro, I think I've watched all of them except 1 or 2 haha and I ended up getting nhl14. Keep it up man 👍.
The coach yelling out instructions in the windowed-corner is a really nice touch
NCAA Basketball 10 and NCAA Hoops 2K 8 is the two best Basketball games PERIOD!! This is why you never get rid of your PS3 or Xbox 360
I'm a huge college basketball fan and own both 2k8 and NCAA 10. Everything you said in regards to both games in spot on. NCAA 10 has the presentation and atmosphere down, but 2k8 has better gameplay, better recruiting, and an incredible career mode. 2k8 is the better game, no doubt. But I go back to NCAA 10 whenever I miss that presentation.
I’ve never seen any of your videos and just stumbled across this one and you just gained one more subscriber.

NCAA Basketball 10 is so much fun. I got a copy of it (and 2k8) recently and I can’t put it down.
Two problems I have with dynasty. College upgrades are broken. Fully upgrade your campus, three star and 4 star recruits come in with 84 or higher rating. I remember 85 or above rating is when players declare pro. Plus it’s extremely hard to retain players unlike the football games. Second that really irks me. Depending on your success you will eventually lose your home state as a pipeline! Had a 22 year dynasty at Michigan State and by year 10, no player from Michigan was interested in my school! I had a roster of players from multiple states outside of Midwest which makes no sense. Couldn’t interest any players from Michigan. Impossible!
Well, it looks like SOFTDRINKTV has UPDATED his intro for his channel and it looks BRAND NEW AND FIRE AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

I feel bad for anyone that don't have the disc's. The prices are outrageous. I doubt the new college football when it comes out will not be half as good as 13 and 14.
I still have my OG copy from Christmas 2009. It doesn't always work but when it does boy is it fun. I'm scared to see the amount of time in my life I've spent playing that game because I know it's insane.
I still play NCAA 10, gameplay was only decent, but playing in the Match Madness tournament was so much fun and having the immersive CBS/ESPN broadcasting makes the game so much better
It’s always a good day when SDtv posts
I would do QUESTIONABLE things to get another college basketball like this.. lol I was actually ranked #20 on the leaderboards and I always used Purdue. I remember John Wall and company were INSANE. Imagine an updated version of this game with new graphics.. one can only dream..
Best nba live was 08 when they added the 3 point contest and that unrealstic dunk contest. Used to love doing those double between the leg. Was never able to pull off thw 720 dunk
Notice this: NBA 2K's crowds are half in the dark. The Garden was known for this exclusively (Staple Center followed) for decades as the only arena with this feature, all arenas in 2K have this feature which takes away a lot of the atmosphere. A very simple feature, but once you notice it you can't overlook it anymore.
Just got the game off amazon for $79.99 and playing dynasty mode all week-end, game still holds even if it is 11 years old. So much fun. I hope EA considers giving it some attention (or 2K) with NIL and all
This is a series that needs to come back
Yoooo thanks for this. The few copies i been sitting on about to be worth some money on eBay for the next few weeks. Lol
Just ordered off eBay. So excited
Miss these games, have a lot of good childhood memories with the ncaa basketball games
The atmosphere of this game and Live 10 are still unprecedented even today.
I am currently playing NCAA 10. Saw your video while playing it. What are the odds.
CLEANEST INTRO !
Can you do a video on the nfl fever series. NFL fever 2004 was my first football game and I played it until I got an 360 and madden 08. I feel like the fever series is really underrated and deserves a spotlight
That CBS presentation is amazing. Presentation is Everything. Unfortunately, after buying NCAA 08 March Madness back then, i gave up on the series, and the game flew under my radar. Nowadays, i just won't pay the money the game sells for. Still playing College Hoops 2k7 and occasionally ESPN College Hoops 2k5.
That intro is clean
I still play EA NCAA basketball 10 all college basketball season long. This game is the perfect legacy game because they left an edit feature so I can create the Jayhawks and their opponents every time and then play the games. 15 years later in this game is still. It’s like Rome total war the first one. It’s still a fantastic game 20 years later.
Couple years back I was playing this game the game confused my dad he thought it was a real game Lol

Bought 2k8 last week! Might buy this game too!
It is pretty cool that this game has two different broadcasting teams. Never heard of a sports game doing that (though I don't play very many sports games, to be honest). And Dick Vitale! But is it the perfect balance of Dick and Vitale?
I really hope they release new ones soon it seems so fun
THE INTRO!!!🔥
The other replay value to both CH2K8 and NCAA10 is you can get updated rosters for both games. I have both and love being able to play with current players. I'm about to start over with both with this year's rosters. They're both like NCAA14 Football, they just have that something you just keep coming back for even if you haven't played them in awhile.

As a huge college basketball fan, I still play NCAA Basketball 10 and College Hoops 2k8. 2k8 has better depth, but NCAA Basketball 10 has better in game presentation. Gameplay is outdated for both, but college hoops 2k8 is probably better, but NCAA Basketball 10 isn't too bad and I think its underrated. The game just needs more depth like college hoops 2k8. I couldn't even imagine what a college basketball game would like today if they had built it like NBA 2k. That said both are more fun than Madden

Are you going to a video on any of the baseball game series? Like MVP Baseball and MLB The Show?
Hey how do you get your signed recruits to actually end up on your roster? I just signed 8 guys to LaSalle during the season. I simmed the offseason recruiting because I had no more scholly's left. Then when the next season started none of my signed guys were on my roster. What did I do wrong?
The last “good” college hoops game was College hoops 2k8 and I started to comment this as I started the video and you already said it 😂
My favorite basketball game. I think i still have this game
I loved the recruiting aspect of ncaa 10. The gameplay wasn't great but the presentation was good and kept me interested for awhile. Look forward to a future game like this. Nba live 19 is underated, like it better than 2k at the moment
I never knew that a college basketball game released for 2010 especially from ea sports at least it's looking pretty good just like nba live 10..its hard to find in used video game stores.(at least in my country)
Crazy that both of those games run from 75$ to 150$ and I have em both
HOLY SHIT, I bought this game in like 2014 or 2015 for the ps3 for luke $35, didn't think you'd talk about this one
I had this game I loved it
This was a decent game. The problem with this game is that it was broken. I had it on 360 and it would just freeze in the middle of a game. I’d get thru a few games and it would freeze again. I thought it was my disk so I bought a new copy and it did the same thing. Contacted EA and they had nothing. Never got to finish turning Virginia Tech around. I think I went back to 2k8 after that.
Ooh that intro is awesome!!
