I just picked up the game. I have to give it up to Country Boy on this one. Normally I hate his posts because he just comes off as a biased EA homer like he is on their payroll. EA can do no wrong in his eyes. Well, I read all his impressions on this game and I have to say they appeared pretty objective, or as objective an EA kool aid drinker can be. I must say he did a pretty honest job of speaking of the positives and negatives of the game and even went looking for stuff that might be wrong, then volunteering the information.

This is my first EA basketball game in a very LONG time. I generally prefer 2k's roundball games over EA's and played a lot of CHOOPS 2K8 and NBA 2K8. After 2 games I have to admit this game has some promise. I'm trying to keep a level head hoping it's not just hte novelty. I'm looking forward to getting to know this game better. So far I'm satisfied with my purchase. I'm hopefull I'll be saying that a month from now.

BTW, I played on AC with my fouls in the 80 to 100 range and I got a lot of fouls. I had them in the 90s with blocking/charging at 100 and in air fouls at 100 and thought they were excessive. I've since dropped my shooting fouls to 65 and the others to 80 or 85 (sorry don't have the exact numbers). It might be the way I play because I like to drive to the hoop or drop inside. But then again the cpu picks up a lot of fouls as well. I also don't understand how some of you guys are playing on 20-min halves and keeping the scores in the 60s and 70s. In my 2nd of two games my Miami team lost at Syracuse 78 to 54 on 12 minute quarters, AC settings with only slider changes being fouls, fatigue and then game speed at 48. Maybe I just suck at defense.

The commentary is repetitive. I'm glad they have 2 announcing crews to help with that. Maybe I'll do a better impression when I get more time with it. Thanks to everyone who gave impressions.

Geez, tell us how you really feel.

I don't see how you guys are playing on AA, Albanmy looks like a team of All Americans against my UVA. They dominate the boards, get every lose ball, their center handles the ball like a guard and never makes a bad pass out of a double team all the while hitting fade away jumpers from 15 feet with 2 guys in his face.

LOL, I know.... goodness.

This game should prove to everyone how far great presentation can take a sports game. I can't get over how great the game looks with these overlays. It's amazing...

exactly ...I couldn't play on AA...Just played a half of Ohio State vs. UNC, UNC shot 70% from the field, Ginyard and Strickland hit everything!

hmmm. I'm not seeing that but only on second game. Remember that you can't free wheel a lot. You have to call plays and get open looks. I'm playing Iowa with MD and I'm in a battle 51-50 4 to go. On varsity I was scoring in the 80's so I like these tough battles.
It sounds like that you are seeing what I saw in AC

May have been mentioned already but is anyone seeing travelling?
