no you can't view other schedules nor boxscores.

Scheduling being fair is a very tough question to ask as it would depend on what someone deems is "fair". IMO, yes its fair for all teams.

After getting this game last night, it's unbelievable to me, the fact that so many people won't even give this game a chance and others have bad things to say about it. Honestly, there is no way in he#$ that CH2k8 is even in the same world as this game and I feel bad for anyone who actually pops in CH2k8 when there is a far superior game in gameplay and presentation that is out. Sometimes I think the CH2k8 people are in denial. Yes, I loved CH2k8 too, but that was years ago. I guarantee that if you would just rent this game, you would be hooked. I am pleasantly surprised at the fine job EA did with this game.

So I broke down last night and got the game.

So for, so good. I'm having fun with it. I don't want to get my hopes up but, the last time I had "fun" with a college hoops games when Coach K's.

Again, it's still to early to tell how it will turn out but, so far, so good.

Thanks for the impressions ehh & cb!

"EA intended to release the game with the same 64 historical teams that were included in NCAA Basketball 09, but due to issues brought about by a lawsuit filed by former UCLA player Ed O'Bannon, they were removed from the game before release."

This is for those that thought EA was just being lazy. I researched and found this in 3 different places. I like the historic teams also, but I can't hate on this decision.

C'mon, Ed O'Bannon! Just b/c you washed out quick in the NBA doesn't mean you have to file this ridiculous lawsuit.

Just played a game ILL-SYR. Tried some of Steve's slider suggestions on 20 min Varsity. Was up early by 10 and was rolling almost thinking it was too easy. I then started to slow down and by half they took a one point lead. In the second half they started out strong and held the lead the whole half and opened up a 15 point lead. Cut it to 8 late, and it ended up 72-64 in their favor.

I tried putting my inside defensive slider up to 100 and only saw one pass out of the post and to be fair the guy wasn't fully entrenched in the post, seems to be an issue as others have mentioned. It would be nice if they would pass it out sometime.

I lowered game speed to 41 as was suggested and liked it although at times if I got a board with one of the Illini guards (play McCamey, Paul, Richardson together) it seemed like I could coast for a fast break and beat everyone back. Good in a sense, but it was like the Orange didn't get back quickly enough, not sure if it is due to them having to go to their spots to set up the zone?

CPU does not use timeouts unless they are really falling behind, at least from what I have seen. Would like to see them use them more.

I think I am going to try fouls at 100 and see if I can get more FT's. Playing against the Orange zone is tough so I didn't get inside as much therefore not getting as many FT's, still would like more for me and the CPU. This will lessen the FGA's as well.

20 minute halves produce good stats although at times the FGA's can be high if you compare it to real life stats. If there are more fouls though the FGA's go down so I hopefully can get more fouls. CPU doesn't turn the ball over enough as well, but I may suck. Had 19 TO's vs the Orange zone. LOL

Good players seem to be taking the most shots, but the PG will take alot as well. Some times I see a player stand and dribble a little too long which isn't good.

The game has some warts, but there is alot of great gameplay going on. It is not feature or little things rich, but I want to keep playing it. Hoping that continues.
