Not everyone who doesn't like the game is a "2k only fan". Some people just don't see the point in doing handstands for a mediocre game.

I hear you guys. I kind of wish I could go back and reword what I said. Those of you who aren't as impressed with the game as some of us are in fact making well thought out and reasonable statements. It's the ones who for whatever reason decide to just trash on the game without any real reason why.

I don't think anyone is doing handstands because its mediocre game. I think they are doing handstands because a series that was once dead has come back to life. Its all in how you look at it.

Great article.

But I think this series is still far away from receiving that comeback status.

I think this is a fair assessment. Given where they were a year ago though... at least the game is enjoyable.

I loved 2k7 like 4 person 100 hour dynasty loved. Anyway I bought this game for my brother for christmas and we stepped into it. I knew it was different and I was steph curry. We started to battle and it was 51-50 with about 3 minutes to go. Then it froze. Haven't played since. If we had finished that epic first battle, who knows how many more we could have had? Hoop games are the only sport we are equal in and it stinks that it froze up.

he still plays but im going back to 2k7.

Thank you SO MUCH for giving a fair summation of NCAABB09 while mentioning all the things brought up in CH2K8 comparisons.

I get so tired of everyone saying, "It doesn't have this, it doesn't have this." GET OVER IT! This is a great game, and as you said, the presentation is AMAZING. I owned CH2K8 and traded it in for credit to purchase EA's college basketball game. It is a decision I do NOT regret =)

Thanks again, great review!
