NCAA Basketball 10 to include CBS & ESPN announce teams

In an unprecedented move, NCAA Basketball 10 will be including not just one broadcast team and network representation, but two, in the form of CBS and ESPN.

NCAA Basketball 10 to include CBS & ESPN announce teams

The choice between using a game screenshot or a pic of Dick Vitale isn't much of a choice at all.

Sports games always do their darnedest to capture the "TV experience," and while some do present a near-telecast experience, just about every sports game ever made settles for replicating one sports broadcast. When you consider that the NFL is broadcast nationally on FIVE different networks, the in-game Madden NFL 10 "broadcast," as impressive as it seems, doesn't cover the entire spectrum of televised football. NCAA Basketball 10 is breaking out of that mold with a two-network approach to the in-game telecasts, including both CBS and ESPN.

You can find out much more about this innovative approach to video game sports over at GamePro Sports (with rundowns of the different broadcast teams), but I'll post the two videos showing how the different networks are integrated below, because, well, Dick Vitale is in one of them. I will never get tired of hearing him provide color commentary.

That's awesome, very nice idea by EA. Unfortunately I don't care for EA's college basketball games. Considering I haven't heard anything about a 2K10 college game, it's probably not coming out again this year either. =/
