I'm with you there's no way n hell this game should be sold for $60 bucks.

I think some of these guys are delusional because this game doesn't showcase college basketball at all to me. I played 3 games and deleted the shiiit off my hard drive because I simply couldn't take the sub par gameplay let alone the terrible animations.

One would think that EA after 3-4 years could just say screw the current animation system it ain't working.

I don't care if it's the only college b-ball out they aren't getting my money this year. They hosed me in years past and i would always assume the final version is was going to better than the demo well it wasn't any better than the demo versions and highly doubt it changes this year.

Plain and simple this game is for guys who enjoy nice graphics. In regards to game play and individual players this game blows based on the demo.

I'll give it 1-2 months and you'll see guys complaining about 50 things in the gameplay department. Then they'll probably have minor upgrades in Dynasty mode and still sale it for $60.............

I still can't believe they have UNC's style of play all screwed up.

Ugh.

I was disappointed with the movement of the players. I could not distinguish the quickness between guards and big men. #55 Duke (Zoubek right?) was playing like Carmelo Anthony. Dribble drives and pull up J's off the dribble.

Basically it seemed like every player could make every play the other players could. Even these high level teams like Duke and UNC don't have players that can all play like that.

This game is fairly solid but the individuality of players is severly missing. Slow moving centers should not move like Lottery pick guards.

I hope the full version is better with edits.

I don't get some of you guys telling me it's not worth $60. It maybe isn't to you guys, but it definitely is to me. The gameplay is better than CH2K8 and it has college teams. Awesome. Plus I have a created league I am going to do, and probably create college players also. I won't use dynasty mode just quick play, and tournament mode. So I don't care about dynasty. The gameplay is very good to me, so don't try and convince me it's not. There are a few minor problems, but they can be fixed in a patch. If the speed is a problem for every player feeling the same, I will do a roster project downgrading people's speed and agility to help other people. For example, I will downgrade Zoubeks speed until he is extremely slow compared to guards. I will also lower his ball handling, agility, and other things tremendously. If NCAA 10 is doing roster updates then possibly they could do this themselves.

To me this game is worth $60, so don't go trying to tell me it's not. It's my opinion, and I'm fine with your opinion.

You can use the directional pad for substitutions on dead balls.

Ray Ray - don't sweat it.... people are going to love the game and hate the game. I'm enjoying Live10 so without a doubt this game will be fairly similar. Those that play 2k are more than likely not going to give this game it's due because it doesn't "feel" like 2k. Again, it's all personal preference.

I just wish a dev would show up and give us the scoop... they are leaving us hanging during the most crucial time of trying to sell their game!!

Unless Z gets called for traveling at least 4 times, then something isn't right.

I'm interested in seeing how different (if at all) the retail version is to the demo. It would seem to me that game play would be at least up to par with its NBA counterpart. But,the Live demo which came out a couple months ago was more polished. Maybe the devs are already aware of the issues.

I wonder why the Broadcast camera is different than the Live camera. Even on Broadcast Zoom the camera is farther away.

I have a feeling that EA stating that 60% of the development cycle was spent on presentation and broadcast integration will come back to haunt this game. Game play wise it just seems unpolished. Rushed. Here's hoping the demo was from a really early build. We'll see.

Did you even read or understand my posts about this? Thanks for the groundbreaking realization that you can use the d-pad for subs. If you don't understand what I am talking about by now no point in explaning it further.
