It has improved and deserves to be applauded for that but it's got a ways to go. Nice writeup!

Re: NCAA Basketball 09 - A Second Opinion

I think it's improved a ton on March Madness, but MM was an atrocious game. It's like applauding a kid for cleaning up some milk after he knocked over his glass.

I think graphically the game is phenomenal. They do so many things right on that side of the fence. But the gameplay isn't really that of the college game. If feels and plays a lot like Live (I'm one of the few who doesn't mind Live but don't think it plays at all like a college game). The presentation is bad (I honestly don't see how anyone can praise it at all) and doesn't feel like the college atmosphere at all.

I'm not saying it's a bad game, but it's where the series should have been 2 years ago. It's still unpolished and misses a lot of the details that the 2K series thrived on. I give EA a ton of credit for reviving FIFA and making it a fantastic game. But I think this series is still far away from receiving that comeback status.

Re: NCAA Basketball 09 - A Second Opinion

Count me in as an owner of this game. I've only played two games thus far, but so far I very much liking what I'm seeing. You're right, it's not College Hoops 2K8. It feels and plays a lot looser which in my opinion is great. You don't have to memorize a whole slew of controls. You can pass the ball around and get a lot of good open looks from three. The fast break transition is very good. The sliders definitely play a significance.

This fits exactly the type of basketball game I enjoy playing. Very easy to pick up and play. A very competitive challenge from the CPU, smart A.I., and just fun run and gun if you wish type of b-ball. Yes, I know the dynasty mode isn't very good, and the rankings may be a little off, but the gameplay is fun. I can see friends of mine who aren't big gamers enjoying this game more than either NBA Live or NBA 2K9.

Looking forward to getting some rosters and playing some exhibition games as I wait for the official roster patch to come out.

Graphically speaking, I am a bit disappointed..I was expecting more. But yes, technically I see things being put into perspective with all the aspects of the game taken into consideration...In short, a decent job!!!
