NCAA Basketball 09 Impressions

[ehh]

Would you say the retail is exactly the same as the demo in terms of game play?

Is there still the lag in the edit player feature? Live's edit player was really slow and it took a couple of seconds for the player to load.

Hope they fixed it. I'll help edit some players but, if it's not fixed then forget it.

for those wondering, if any were, you can turn Auto Subs on.

I didn't play Live so I have nothing to compare it to, but yes, its more annoying than it should be to edit players.

Can anyone tell me if the neutral sites in the NCAA Tournament are generic or authentic. I remeber way back in the MM days the courts would just have a different coored paint area and everything else would be the same.

I would say its pretty close to the demo. Nothing really jumps out, other than the animations seems a little smoother. The commentary is pretty basic, and if I hear " up and in" one more time from Nessler......off they go. In one half, I must have heard that line 8 times.

For those upset with the dark arenas, they have included a game brightness and contrast slider to help out. Thankfully they did, because it looked like Freedom Hall was running on half power.

Also, the letter for Big East in the paint at the Hall is ugly looking and there is no Denny Crum court signature on the court.

I just played the finals of the NIT, and it is played at Empire State arena.....

It says it is home to the Knicks and the Liberty. Its not the Garden , but it has a Garden feel to it.
