I avoided the retail game (played the demo for 10 minutes and deleted it) played Live 09 and 2k9 and it didn't hold me. I'm not a franchise or career player so tourney play is great for me. I purchased this download and I really am enjoying it... once i got the 2K vibe off of my mind. At first it felt sluggish and unresponsive but after more time... I'm having FUN and starting to get the control scheme.

$15 well worth it IMO

Just got it...

I'm sure I'll have fun over the next couple weeks.

Hopefully SDSU gets a bid today though....

I got it, but some tourney teams missing... wasn't there supposed to be an update once the offical tourney teams were announced?

It says it will update on the 18th.

For the RETAIL disc based version of the game, If you want the brackets with the correct pairings and the updated un-named rosters it seems that you have to have Xbox Live Gold.

So here's how to get the updated pairings. I upgraded to Gold, then I went to my NCAA --> then to EA Sports Extras --> then to Xbox Live Marketplace and scrolled down to NCAA Basketball 09 Bracket Pack (604.00KB by the way), and downloaded it. Then I had the correct pairings and updated rosters (no names mind you). I tried to do this with Silver and it wouldn't allow me.

Stupid question, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to load the new rosters. I have custom rosters that load when the game starts. I hit reset rosters, and it goes back to the old ratings. I find it HARD to believe that they wouldn't change a single UNC or UConn player's ratings.
