College Hoops 2K12 -- A Mock Review

[asu666]

NFL 2K5, NCAA 2K8 come back... Please! Come back...

Whoever put together the "One Shining Moment" games did a terrible job. I could think of a better list in a minute.

Since 2k prepared for lockout with more legendary teams, should noticed all of the top talent there is in college this year. Drafting stars into pros would have been ideal.

OMG NICE !!!!

I agree that College Hoops 2K8 is still the best 2K basketball game.

Legacy mode remains the best offline franchise mode in any sports game.

Presentation and atmosphere is top-notch.

Gameplay isn't bogged down by all the excessive animations and isomotion controls that later 2K games introduced.

Cramped floor spacing and a poor play-calling system are the only sore spots.

Cruel. Harsh. Totally uncalled for. I'm gonna go cry in a dark corner by myself.

I wish 2K8 resembled NBA 2K11 with regard to fluid player movements and floor spacing. Players are a bit "stiff" in their movements, and the shooting animations get a bit stale after time. A great game, and it's a shame there is no updated college hoops option to play. Maybe with the NBA lockout there would be a renewed interest in a college basketball video game, but with a lack of star power (as there was years ago) I don't think the game could market itself well enough. There were more stars in the Big East Conference alone (for example) in the 1980's than the ENTIRE NCAA has today...

I remember when CH2K8 was first out, and march madness was out as well. I remember playing MM 2008 because a friend had gotten it, and it was my worst video game experience ever. CH2K8 was the best college baskeball game of all time though.

Point being. I was working at wal-mart as a cashier at the time, and a little boy with his mom came to my line and brought up MM 2008 because he wanted a college basketball game (first one ever for him) and I respectfully told her that that game is terrible, and if she really wants to give her son a good experience, she should buy the other basketball game, plus it was cheaper. She did...I like to think that I changed that kids life forever.
