Post patch this game plays the most realistic game of bbal to date. Prior to the patch being released I would have gave the game about a 7, but the patch has improved alot of the dynasty and games areas.

Post-Patch this game is the best game of basketball I've played. I enjoy the college atmosphere more than the NBA so this is my B-ball game.

Post-patch gameplay is amazing and the depth of this game is astonishing. I absolutely love this game and will play it for years to come. Definitely a great buy for an CBB fan.

Pretty solid depth for a game that will last for years to come. The movement and improvement over the pro title is so great. I'd recommend any sports fan to scoop it up.

Great game, in my opinion. Easily one of, if not the, best basketball game I've ever played before. The presentation received a slight upgrade over 2k7, and the legacy mode is still more or less the same, which isn't that much of a bad thing.

Great game. One of, if not, the best basketball game I've ever played. Everything about the game is awesome. Sad to see the series go, but it was a great ride.

The fact that this game is going away is sad. But that being said, this is a great game with the likelyhood that it will last for years to come with the great efforts of the OS Roster community.

If 2k8 is the last iteration of the College Hoops series, what a way to go out.

The game delivers a realistic, enjoyable experience that really captures the essence of college basketball. The gameplay is top notch; the CPU can be quite tough to beat with the right settings, and yet I don't feel cheated when I lose. The difference between a perennial power like Duke and a small program is very obvious and makes scheduling in legacy mode very strategic.

The graphics are good, but not great. The courts themselves look very good, but their detail and accuracy is offset by the arenas which don't always look quite right. The player models and faces don't look like anything special, either, especially after playing the graphically beautiful NBA 2k8.

The arena atmosphere is very good, with lively crowds, bands playing during timeouts, and chants during the game (which can be customized through the Chant Creator%u2014awesome!). The announcing team of Verne Lundquist and Bill Raftery leaves something to be desired, as their calls get quite repetitive and boring after a few games.

Overall, this is a very deep game that I believe I will be playing 2-3 years down the line.
