Re: NCAA Basketball 09 Fact Sheet Analysis

Are u kindin me in his 1st answer he said it wasn't hard 2k walked away from the the ncca series which allowed the guys at EA to take advantage of it, Im not surprise I liked the college hoops more then nba 2k series but most people I know don't even play it ( Im talking bout people out side of forums) and its not really a anticpated title, they didn't even advertise the game right. God knows how much MM series was makin.

College Hoops was never profitable. The only 2K Sports series to ever be profitable is the NBA series.

And it looks like I was correct in my assumption that it is an exclusive license agreement. Here is a link to an interview with Producer Sean O'Brien.

I stand corrected on that. But as stated in that interview the exclusive deal was made after 2K walked away. You may be right that the deal may have been in the works and the money involved might have led to 2K's retreat though.

I hope so too. Honestly, I'm not even sure I'll buy this game. I'm just starting to really get into CH2K8 (haven't played it much last year) so unless the reviews and impressions are very good, I might stick with 2K8 for at least this year.

I'd like to see NCAA Tournament games not played on generic courts in generic arenas this year. Will the pre and postseason NIT be played at the Garden? This games sounds great so far, I just hope it lives up to the hype.

Yeah, I don't know if this game is going to be a purchase for me either, it depends on how much fun it is when I rent/gamefly it. If not I might have to pick up a used copy of CH 2k8 again. Overall it looks like the game is on the right track, and they aren't using the exclusive licensing rights to make a sub-par, money making game. Of course none of this is really known until we play the game in a few weeks, but I am looking forward to the demo. Does anyone know if the demo is the final build of the game?

I'm 99% sure the BET was played at MSG in MM08. I'll check tonight.

Re: NCAA Basketball 09 Fact Sheet Analysis

Does this game even have all Division 1 teams? I know in years past this game didn't. Which was amusing and pathetic all at once.

More exclusive deals? This is why I see my lifetime as a gamer being cut drastically short.
