So while the presentation is impressive, I'm still wondering if there are going to be any new college-specific game modes or feature additions to further widen the gap between NBA Live 10 and NCAA Basketball 10. When you couple the noise and energy that you get from a rambunctious crowd with the new presentation elements that actually do look like something you'd see on TV, passersby will undoubtedly have to do a double take when they see the game in action. And, as always, March Madness is all CBS. While you can select your own broadcast style for an exhibition game, during a season the appropriate station will air your games depending on where you're playing.
Bill Raftery and Gus Johnson have even made the trip to fuel the action on the CBS side, while Dick Vitale, Brad Nessler and Erin Andrews take the ESPN duties. From the NCAA CBS logo's beating heart during the loading screen to the screen wipes that transition to a highlight package, everything is in there. Both presentation styles wonderfully mirror what you'd see on television. EA Sports managed to get both CBS and ESPN broadcast graphics and announcers into this year's game and the difference is huge. While the new play calling works fine in practice and makes it easy to hit an open man as players set screens and make cuts around the court, the real star of the show during my demo with NCAA Basketball 10 was the new presentation elements. Play calling will play a significant role. I'll have to spend more time with the game to see if that really is an issue. It would be unfortunate to lose out on an attribute bonus for fast-paced run-and-gun basketball because I'm trying to formulate a play. It's going to be interesting to see how this play calling system melds with the tempo mechanic that's still present in the game. Your secondary passing option has a B button (circle on PS3) icon over his head if your primary target doesn't seem like the way to go.
You can toss him the rock prior to that moment, but your pass isn't guaranteed to find its target. Once a play has started your primary passing option appears with a Y button (triangle on PS3) icon over his head that will illuminate when the time is right to pass it to him. All you have to do to set a play in motion is tap the left shoulder button and your players will start setting screens and making cuts around the court. There are plays like four-out where four guys roam the perimeter while one is down low, there's the flex offense, the triangle and zone motion among others. While you can access all of the plays with any team, each has a specific play that they're defaulted to. While calling plays in the NBA is more player-specific to gear towards the superstars of the squad, NCAA Basketball comes equipped with eight different types of motion play calls. Where the team at EA Canada is making some key changes is in the play calling and presentation.
