I didn't really know what the book had in it until this video, thanks for the video. I really love that it has all teams in it.

Well, I found these two on their site. I'm pretty sure they're the exact same thing, but here's what I found.

A virtual copy of the condensed version is included in the game.

	And so, every copy of NCAA Basketball 09 contains a condensed version of the 08-09 yearbook (viewable within our game), complete with summaries for every Division I team, and letter grades for each team's Backcourt, Frontcourt, Bench/Depth and "Intangibles." The information is provided in an easy-to-navigate interface along with every team's logo and school crest. As an added bonus - and exclusive to NCAA Basketball 09 - Blue Ribbon also reached into its archives to provide the same analysis for all 64 of the classic teams that appear in our game this year.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that. I never pay close attention to the producers blog things, I really should though.
