So I'm stuck debating on games. I'm not a huge college basketball fan, but I do follow it yearly after football ends. Anyway, I'm posting this here and in the College Hoops forums. I'm looking for one college basketball game to buy to keep for awhile. While I love the presentation in NCAA Basketball 10, I'm certain I'll like one for better gameplay. So...this or NCAA?

Gameplay-wise, NCAA plays slightly better than CH2K8 provided you do some roster tweaks. CH2K8 has better CPU AI and is less glitchy, but NCAA 10 does a better job with court spacing and off-ball movement...plus I like the NCAA control scheme way better, that's just my preference.

However, if you're big into dynasty then I would pick up CH2K8. It's truly one of the best dynasty/franchise modes ever in a sports game, and miles better than NCAA's.

ditto.
NCAA = a fun game to play
CH2k8 = deep experiance

Id go with NCAA. Presentation and game play is awesome.

I've played both and I'll say NCAA; however, you're going to get a lot of people who would say otherwise.

NCAA hands down

I loved College Hoops when it came out and played it like crazy, but purchased NCAA when it released this year. After spending alot of times on these forums I decided I might be cheating myself by playing NCAA only so I went out and repurchased College Hoops for $10 and to me it was nearly unplayable due in a large part to the graphics and presentation, but also the gameplay. Like others have said the player offball movement is key, but also the momentum and physics in the game are much more fluid imo.

My vote: EA's NCAA

If you're a casual fan I'd go with NCAA, simple controls and you won't notice half the horrific AI stuff. Plus the presentation will wow most casual fans.
