I've never played a game online, but play against friends sometimes offline. I like the CPU games because I can turn up their skill level to provide a serious challenge. Always in a legacy though, exhibition games don't help with anything unless trying to fine tune sliders.

I don't like the idea of having to use the default sliders and rosters to play online, plus I don't want to play some little kid who gets ticked and ruins the game.

Hands down my favorite next-gen game. Dynasty mode is so deep and addictive, and 2K Share keeps everything updated.

Great article, i was late purchasing College Hoops 2k8 but I still play it from time to time, like you I'm a Franchise junkie, thats where I spend most of my time and 2k8's franchise mode is great.

This is still the only sports game i haven't taken back to gamestop since next gen...possibly one of the best sports games ever on next gen.

Yeah it's fun but it's more like a role playing game than a sports game. The gameplay is pretty 'ehhh', but the amount of stuff you can do makes it really fun.

The sad part is that there isn't going to be ANY college hoops games now. That's why I think 2k should step back in and make it. I'm still not sold on 2k's 'new' gameplay, but even if they just took the 2k engine and put college teams, rosters, and a similar franchise mode... it would be worth the price they charged for it. They could even make it cheaper like 40.

Edit: lol, and their names are hilarious, no doubt.
