I don't think it can be fixed.
Have you adjusting your shooting sliders? If you haven't and both teams are still shooting 65% you're obv gonna have a lot less offensive boards. I've got the shooting sliders very low and both teams are in the 40% area most games so that leads to more rebounds.

Aside from March Madness the past 2 years, I've picked up every single college basketball and football game on it's release day for the past 8 years. This one feels different though and I don't know why. I'm seeing all these encouraging impressions, mixed in with a few bad ones here and there but I just haven't been able to pull the trigger yet. Can someone give me some information on dynasty and recruiting, such as how realistic is the recruiting as far as 5-star guys going where they should be going and so forth, sim statistics, in season tournaments, and the rankings and tournament seedings. The videos I saw of the rankings and RPI looked pretty bad. How does it actually play out after a season? Any input would be great. Thanks.

I haven't had the joy of playing Princeton yet to see if they do the back door screen plays. But from having played teams that run a halfcourt offense, I can tell you that they are a pain to deal with because its hard to force them into an up tempo game, as it should be. They will not run unless they have a clear jailbreak fastbreak.
Big guys can bring the ball up the floor, although they are prone to being pick-pocketed by guards or quick hands players. Yes, they can still make the crossover moves and such without much penalty, but honestly, the quick strike and ball handling moves are really toned down, so you can really exploit having a big man bring the ball up the court. No its not really sim, but its not something you can cheese your way through a game with either, so I can deal with it.
Getting players to look like their real life counterparts is damn near impossible with the limited resources you are given with this game and that pisses me off to no end. I don't really care about all the players, but I want my Cards and a few select other players to look like themselves. Probably my biggest beef with this game is the player editor feature. Its so limited that its almost useless. As far as ratings and such, you can adjust the ratings of any player and set the value to anything you choose. Also, the rosters, outside the classc teams, are pretty much accurate. I've come across a few that were a little odd, but nothing too major.
My thing is this, if you are a true fan of college basketball, then you owe to yourself to at least try this game out. With that said, I'll say this, if you're going in expecting this game to be as deep and "complete" as 2k, then you're going to be disappointed. This game isn't barebones by any stretch of the imagination, but its not as robust as 2k either. Its a solid title that given the correct TLC over the next development cycle, could be something special.

I would like to know this as well. Also, how is player progression and the ratings of freshmen. How difficult is it to recruit?
Right now, I started up 2k8 with updated rosters and I still think it is a great game. If Ncaa 09 is better then it might be something to consider. The above is very important to me though.
Like others in this thread I'm resisting the urge to rush out and get this game until more impressions drop. I feel like a lot of basketball heads here, who in the past would have been more forthcoming with the problems of the game, seem to be treating the EA b-ball games with kid gloves. This makes it difficult to get a solid read on this game.
I swear the more you play, the better this game gets. I just lost in a blowout as Winthrop and it was one of the most satisfying feelings I ever got from playing a video game. Even while I was getting blown out I just couldn't stop thinking how fun it was.

I love this game, once I get the sliders adjusted a little more and get the named rosters it will play even better.
No one is mentioning this but it's something that really bothered me in the demo. Are all made jumpshots nothing but net? In the demo I never saw a made jumpshot go in with any variety. They were all swished. Is this something that has changed on the retail version. The demo reminded me of Doube Dribble when it came to making jumpshots and how they all were swished.
Sorry to bug guys but I would like to see if someone can help me here picked this game up yesterday started a dynasty and when i am recruiting it lets me offer a scholorship to some players but some other players i want to offer it is grayed out but i am high on there list and help here would be great thanks
go irish you only have a certain amount of scholarships so when they are grayed out it is because you dont have anymore scholarships to give out.
