For many, the game amounts to little more than a chance to warm their chops before Madden hits a few weeks later. It has also faced tough comparisons on the technical side, where players tend to consider it a more "dressed up" version of last year's Madden game, rather than the latest and greatest due for the upcoming season. Though the series may never completely escape this situation, NCAA Football 10 at least maintains its reputation of providing a good college game." B/A+
