some asked about ESPN/CBS presentation with a low level team. well.

its partially good.

I picked prarie view a&M to start a mock dynasty and first game up was a home game vs. Idaho.

ESPN overlays and GRAPHICS were present including star watch, and the starting lineups, but you hear the PA guy. No espn commentators. so its partially if not totally nice to see this change of pace.

also dynamic crowds.. gotta love that. the upper levels of this stadium are empty. crowd is terrible.. I love this dynamic sense of atmosphere 5 thumbs up

edit: maybe not so dynamic after all, but i just quit that dynasty and did a quick match with these same teams.... same results. low crowd turnout and no ESPN commentators, but there was the espn overlays...

now i just quit again and changed the broadcast to cbs sports to see if those same two teams get no commentators.. No commentators in QUICK PLAY for low level vs low level?? WHAT IS THAT ABOUT??? i swear my excitment lied within the dynasty mode concept..

I have found one thing that annoys me.

The "WARM UP THE BUS!" chant can stay. I just don't like that it's sponsored by State Farm.

Played 1 game tonight. Lost. Presentation was great, and the gameplay is definitely better than last year. Minnesota's court is still not right unfortunately (the perimeter is below the court in real life), but I can live with that. Why didn't they put the CPU names in like we asked them to do? It isn't hard to do, and I hope they fix this. Sorry, about complaining about it again, but its a real pet peeve now.
Overall, It seems very solid with improvements and may finally keep me from playing 2K8, but we'll see

is it as good as 2k8? can you give some sort of comparison.
I also dont like the fact that they dont have a name database. Never really like the EA COLLEGE title, the name thing I never understood that.

Are any of you guys getting pretty low shooting percentages? I just played a game on varsity with default sliders. I was USC (Cali) at FLA gators and I ended the game with 41% FG and FLA had 42%. Second game in a row where the FG% was pretty low.

I just upset West Virginia with Wisconsin, mostly because WV shot 21% in the first half and 37% for the game. So, yes. Lol.

^WOW. That's pretty low. I wonder if this is how the game was programmed? Could this be the first bball game where we have to INCREASE the shooting sliders?

i started a mock dynasty with eastern washington but i get Bill and Dicky V commentating... why is it that yours doesnt have any? though i kinda like it without the commentary so i just turn it off. just curious as to why mine is different? i mean we both used small conference schools...
