It seems like there is always some Cat fan on here freaking about how EA could possibly suggest that "so and so" is not as good as "so and so." EA does not comb through their rosters to fine tune things like that. Don't expect them too.

we are talking about the #1 player out of high school and the projected #1 draft pick in 2010.

no to the first 2.

The game does have a Selection Show, but its nothing major to be honest. Its basically the same as last year with voice overs.

-Can you add tattoos to players?lol...I'll have to double check, but I don't believe so -And lastly, and at your own convenience (and if you happen to name a team or two)...do you hear the commentators say names from a database much during gameplay...ex. "Wall with the dunk," etc...and do the PA announcers say names after a score?no they don't. Very disappointing

Ooooy. This dev team needs desperate help. They need more NCAA employees who can add the little things. I'm pretty concerned about this title's safety. I hope its sales numbers are awesome this year.

is it possible to check Ohio States floor? it should only have red paint outside the court...inside should just be white lines with the logo at midcourt??? they have had it wrong forever N I hope they fixed it, could be a game killer for me

Countryboy, were the players you were using actually named by you, or were they still numbers? That could make a big difference if the announcers don't say their names.

in the NCAA and NIT tournaments, the bracket shows the seedings of the teams this year.

The sim logic is most definitely improved. The selection logic, pretty good, but there seems to be one atrocious omission and admission to the tourney.

I named UofL and they didn't say their names. Now the game has a database that you can use for names, but I didn't select those, just named them myself. That may or may not have something to do with it.

#0 for Illinois State?

Projected late second round draft pick. Just wondering if EA recognized him as a great player on a mid-major team or if the mid-major rosters are fudged up across the board.

(hitch450: I sent you a PM with this question, but my computer has been acting up, and I doubt it sent it. Sorry for being annoying. I just really want to know this before I lay down my $60.)
