I don't know why, but I am having a blast playing this game. Sure, it's not exactly the smoothest game to find its way into my PS3, but for some odd reason, I enjoy it. The animations in certain situations definitely need to be smoothed out for 2010.
I love moving the ball around and making the extra pass to find the open shot. The inside/outside game is fun to set up and penetrating and pitching it fun too.
Now that I have settled on some shooting sliders, I like it even more because not every type of shot is finding it's way to the bottom of the net 65% of the time.
The arenas and crowds are just awesome. Simply awesome!
My main gripe (not gameplay related) is the sim engine. That will always be in the back of my head that the star players don't get enough minutes. I wish that could be patched or something. I have yet to find a workaround.

Just finished the first game of my dynasty as I beat the Jaguars of South Alabama at Freedom Hall 80-59.
The game was pretty much over midway through the first half. They stayed within 1-3 pts for the first 5-8 minutes of the game, but I quickly turned it on and got up by 15 and never looked back.
Clark had 19, Samuels had 14 and Jennings had 10 as they couldn't handle the big guys down low. I kept switching defenses and keeping them off balance as they took ill advised shots, turned the ball over, and were called for 8 charging calls and I made them hurry when they didn't want to.
I am off to Creighton to play the Blue Jays on the road. I tried to get my schedule as accurate as possible, but its tough to get small teams to play you. Plus, I wanted to remind Chad Millard what he walked out on.
Damn, I am enjoying this game.

That'd be awesome if you can take a look and let me know how it is. I might pick this up after work tonight if it does.
J-Unit, do you have rosters for the PS3. This might be a game I can finally get for it. Nobody I know will play this with me online and I usually don't get much for achievements in sports games.
Except the dumb ones in the early titles for 360.

FYI - My connection has been at 45-50% lately since I moved. Damn wireless router!
I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. Doesn't stop me from being disappointed about the single player dyansty. But this game is pretty darn cool.
The atmosphere is just insane. And I love Dicky V.

one man's opinion.
The dynasty mode is fine and solid. Its just not as deep, I am guessing, as 2k. I never played the 2k college hoops game, but that seems to be the consensus on the boards.

I agree the dynasty mode is solid. It's not as deep as 2K but it's not bad at all in my opinion.

some other nice thing i noticed some players notes will tell you this guy has his eyes on the pro or he will likely be here 1 year and go pro.
people want to say it easy to recruit it was pretty easy in 2k8 to get 5* players (especially World guys) and they all had high ratings. in Ncaa 09 just cause a guy is 5* dont mean he is gonna have a high rating. you gotta pay attention to his position rank and his ability grades and his physical numbers.
its not perfect but it going in the right direction

Go back to IGN please. Notice how this garbage comes from guys with post numbers in the teens or so?
I noticed something odd.
I was playing UCONN Syracuse and noticed that the CPU never used a single time out?
That was pretty glaring.
Otherwise, so far I'm really very satisfied. I played UCONN- GTown, and UCONN-Cuse and the games where very diferent in style and tempo. Very big plus. Last years atrocity, every team was more or less the same.

I've seen the cpu take timeouts to stop runs and end of game situations.

Well, I barely escaped being upset @ Creighton. I was down 38-32 at the half, but was able to put a 10-0 run together with around 8 minutes left in the game to go up by 2 and never trailed again. I hung on to win 71-66.
It was an awesome game as I had to deal with what seemed to be biased officials as T-Will and Clark both picked up 2 fouls in the first 4 minutes of the game. Creighton shot 24 free throws to my 11, and 6 of mine were when they were fouling to stop the clock.
I couldn't solve their zone and couldn't hit an open 3 to save my soul. I also turned the ball over 18 times as I made ill advised decisions and got in a hurry at times to make something happen. I love the timeout feature as it gives you the actual minute or 30 secs to regather your composure/thoughts. I used one right before the big 10-0 spark that put me ahead and for good.
Next is a tough home court battle with UNLV.
Damn, I am loving this game.
