NCAA Basketball 10 Receiving Dynamic Updates

Posted November 11, 2009 by Robert Workman

Tripping the dynamic fantastic.

In a recent update on its official blog page, EA Sports explained the latest addition to next week’s NCAA Basketball 10 release, Dynamic Updates. With these, your stats update every week, through ESPN.com standings, and it could change the course of how you play. Here are the details, straight from the blog page. (Thanks EA!)

“Here's what gets changed when we send out the Dynamic Update:

Points per Game, Steals per Game, Blocks per game, Assists per game, Turnovers per game, Win/Loss Record and winning streaks as well as losing streaks, Overall and conference records

With these updates, you will also get the latest top 25 and RPI for all teams featured in the game. These updates are showcased in-game on all relevant broadcast overlays as well as in the Dynamic Updates menu. There will be speech that supports win/loss streaks as well as the Top 25 itself.

Based on these stats team ratings will rise and fall. For example, if a team starts the season unranked and all of a sudden plays well and appears in the Top 25 then the team ratings will reflect those changes. Just like you see in NBA Live 10 we want NCAA Basketball 10 to be fresh every week you play the game to reflect what’s going on in the actual NCAA season.

This guy's ready for changes. How about you?

With Dynamic Updates you can expect to see new plays for your playbooks and even new motion offenses. If you see Duke run a different motion offense on TV that isn’t already in the game, with Dynamic Updates it can easily be added.

Dynamic Updates will also provide authentic schedules for the NCAA season so you won't have to play out a schedule that isn't akin to what you're following in real life. These updates will be extended to the NCAA tournament as well. When the tournament draws closer there will be updates for the correct tournament bracket for this year's competition. It's all about having an authentic college basketball experience and Dynamic Updates provides this.”

This sounds like a huge improvement on the game. We’ll be giving it a go for the review soon.
