College Hoops 2k8 or NCAA Basketball 10??

[elementz09]

I'm trying to figure out what game I want to invest my time in. I just bought CH2K8 for $10 and from what I hear, it is the best SIM college b-ball game to date, but considering it isn't up to date as far as graphics and such (I know about the '09-'10 rosters can be downloaded). I heard and saw that NCAA Basketball's presentation is pretty sick, but the gameplay can be challenging.

So what do I do? Which one do I get? I'm the type of person that likes realistic gameplay, challenging A.I., replay value and whatever game that makes me feel like I'm a part of the real college b-ball atmosphere.

U better try both and decide for yourself...
CH2k8 is very challenging and deep but i found it very frustrating without serious sliders tweaking... Also beware Ps3 version cuz is very poor compared to 360 (jaggies and lag on some stadiums). Get for 360 if u can. Spacing is also vastly inferior and u feel somewhat an old gen game.
Otherwise NCAA 10 is a very fun game, presentation is unbelievable, atmosphere is stellar, grafx is very nice (gotta love some courts, damn!), PS3 version is on par with 360, u can tweak sliders for a more simlike game, but this is once and for all an easy pick up game and anyone bb junkie devoted to deepness can get tired pretty fast.
This is it, is up to u. Personally there's no way i can back to CH2k8.

Just to add to what Omega said, I have 2k8 for both the 360 and the PS3 and just about agree with what Omega wrote. I also have NCAA 10 for the PS3. If you do get NCAA 10 I suggest the PS3 version. It seems the freezing issue seems to be a lot more abundant on the 360 version than the PS3 version. Apparently it happens on both but more on the 360. I've never had a freeze and I've been playing on the PS3 for a month or so.

See this thread for documentation on the freezing issue: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ing-issue.html


Not sure if EA still has the offer to buy it for $41.95 but I provided a coupon for you to check and buy through the link here: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-ea-store.html

I have 2k8 and NCAA 10 and I loved College Hoops so freaking much but, I wanted to try NCAA for the presentation and the game has me hooked. I think that you will have to play both and decide.

I completetly agree.
I just cant play 2k8 anymore, two years of playing was enough for me the game has become stale to me.
NCAA 10 has me hooked too, I just cant get enough of it.

The more NCAA I play, the more I am really enjoying it. CH2K8 is a great game, but the on court spacing, and offensive motion in NCAA make going back to 2K's game really tough. NCAA has it's issues that are annoying at times, but there is a lot of fun to be had if you are a fan of college basketball.

Overall 2K8 is a deeper dynasty experience, but I think NCAA provides a more rewarding experience on the court once you master the games controls for setting up and running your offense.

As someone who has played non stop 2K8 for 2 years, it was just time for a change. To be perfectly honest though, you can't go wrong with either.

CH 2k8 feels like a last-gen game now. Yes, it does offer a deeper dynasty mode, but NCAA 10 is just more fun, to me, gameplay wise. The way the CH2k8 players run looks funny (kindof like they have something up their behinds.) I just can't get past that. I used to absolutely LOVE CH2k8, but that was a long time ago. After doing slider adjustments, you will love NCAA 10. The sim logic is also very good. Realistic, believable records and statistics. Have fun!
