A First Day Reflection

[YankeeCpt]

I have played about 4-5 games and this is my impression.

Likes:
-Ability to use Classic teams on-line (Don't hate me for using the 1996 Wildcats- Bar none my favorite team ever).
- Graphics overall are pretty good (crowd, mascot, cheerleaders panties)
- ESPN radio
- New uniforms
- It is not a horrible game, but feels very shallow. Kind of like a pre-beta.
- I love Legends Tournament


Dislikes:
- No teams to unlock
- No All-time teams
- Lack of names that are available for speech recognition
- Horrid ratings for players. For example: Mark Pope is an 84, Anthony Epps is a 76. Jodie Meeks is a 77, Perry Stevenson is a 77, Darius Miller is a 77, DeAndre Liggins 72, and Patrick Patterson is an 81. Not sure who put together ratings, but they do not appear to have done research. All but like 2 pUKe players are 77 or higher. Syracuse is ranked #21. hmmmmm.
- Players are stickish and do not move smoothly
- Commentary is weak

To be honest, if UK didnt have new uniforms this year I might have created freshmen, graduated seniors, and kept on playing College Hoops 2k8. I would recommend the same to anyone who does not have an issue.

It is kind of weird how this game would have hit the market in its current condition. I know several 1st person shooters, like Bond, borrowed the Call of Duty 4 engine. I am not sure why EA wouldnt somehow couldnt borrow 2K's. The overall gameplay is just that much better.

I really hate 2K for not creating a College Hoops game this year. All I can say is that I PRAY TO GOD that they have one for next season.

I have not played a dynasty yet.

A lot of players are not on their Classic Rosters. They seem to be made up of a lot of fictional players.

1978 Kentucky does not have Kyle Macy.... HUH?

I love how all of the Kentucky fans talk about how badly rated their team is. We'll see if they do good this year. I'm not saying they suck since I don't watch UK basketball, its just they haven't proven anything yet.

Blue Ribbon is doing the ratings this year, it seems like its the first time they have ever done video game ratings because from what I see so far, this could probably go down in history as the game with the worst player ratings ever.
