That's great to hear. Have you had a chance to play any online games? If so, how does it play? Any lag, glitching, etc...

Also, how is the rivalry feature for online as far as finding someone to play with?

Thanks again for posting.

Boooooo! Hey can you tell me how Jacksonville played? How was their PG (Ben Smith # 3), he should be the top player on their team....how did he fair against the Fightin Camels? Their PF # 31 Lemon Colbert should have been good for them as well? Did these two score majority of the points for JU?

the rivalry feature is sweet you press L3 and it brings up a map of all the guys online playing with your rivals .. plus there is also this flag waving telling you when a rival is on. i played 1 half with a friend who was on his lunch break no lag what so ever and this is the Ps3 version.

edit: i just notice you can also scroll through guys playing with the top 25, playing with teams in your conference (my case Big East), and Same team

how is the low post and transition defense?
These were two areas that live 09 did horribly

I don't remember the point guard. The power forward however was giving me fits in the post. He had a lot of rebounds thats for sure.

I'm still on the fence with this game. One of my biggest gripes, after reading some reviews, was the atmosphere.

How's the atmopshere in this game. One thing that pissed me off in the demo was the home crowd doing to OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH chant while their hometeam was on offense. You dont do that chant when your team has the ball! EA got it right with NCAA football 09 but not in NCAA Basketball? WTF?

Aside from that, are there a lot of team specific chants, fight songs?
