Not only does NCAA Basketball 10 have the CBS presentation as shown in the recent video, but it will use the ESPN presentation as well. Depending on the day a game is played or the tournament being played in you’ll get the respective full presentation of either ESPN or CBS.

We have full ESPN broadcast integration for the first time, says Dougan. It looks exactly like you see on television. All of the intros, fly-ins, movies, graphics, announcers [Dick Vitale, Brad Nessler, Erin Andrews] … all of that stuff you see on ESPN will be in ‘NCAA Basketball 10.’ Not to mention, we’re also doing CBS Sports integration. So that means we’ll have two new announcers for the CBS team and that’s Gus Johnson and Bill Rafferty. They’ll be calling the games along with all of the CBS Sports broadcast packages. So if you’re playing through your Dynasty mode, your Monday through Friday games will generally be on ESPN, but your big weekend games will be on CBS Sports. Conference tournaments will switch between the two broadcasts depending on who owns the rights to that specific tournament, and then, of course, the NCAA basketball tournament is broadcast on CBS.

Having multiple broadcast teams is something people have been suggested in the past actually seeing it happen still comes as somewhat of a surprise. Doing something radical to put NCAA Basketball on the radar for gamers was necessary though and judging from reaction out there it has done just that. Further info on the game can be found in the ESPN article.

I still wouldn't buy a game on the presentation alone, but this is really cool. Good job guys.

I just hope the gameplay is more like live 10 than NCAA 09 because I have hated EA Sports basketball until this year. The presentation looks great though.

In the ESPN article they say that not only do they use Live 10's gameplay but they enhance it for NCAA. They get to sit back and see what consumers don't like about Live and fix it without worrying about needing a patch. I can't wait for this game. I can never get into Live or 2k simply because I'm a dynasty guy and an 82 game season is brutal when wanting to play multiple years.

If the gameplay is a much more polished version of Live 10, then I might consider…….otherwise the presentation alone does not do it for me…..

Its all looks good but without Online Dynasty doesn't have a lot of appeal for me. NCAA and Madden are infinitely better b/c of that mode and the ability to play through a tournament with 10-20 other guys would be amazing in this game.

I love the idea of multiple broadcasts teams! Madden should REALLY look into doing this for Madden 11! It would be cool to have the FOX team of Buck and Aikman calling some games on Madden as well as the Monday night crew of Terico, Jaworski, and Gruden. Plus they gotta get the FOX NFL theme song in Madden ASAP!

One of my biggest gripes w/college videogames (football OR hoops) is that the most recognizable faces in the game are the "coaches" and they NEVER ever look like they should. Phil Jackson, Doc Rivers, Tom Coughlin, etc, are mirror images of their real-life counterparts. How come Jim Calhoun, Jim Boeheim and Roy Williams look like shit? EA, please address this ASAP if you want my loot this year!
