NCAA March Madness 09 News Post

I have been a College Hoops 2K fan since the inception of the series back on my PS2. As a huge fan of college basketball, I always loved how 2K was able to get the little things about the game right. I loved how they would include all the teams, all the fight songs, all the mascots, all the arenas, all the jerseys, and it didn't hurt that the game always played great.

As the years progressed, the 2K engine started showing its age, and I became increasingly bored with the series up until College Hoops 2K8 was released last November. 2K8 was the pinnacle of college hoops gaming -- from the outstanding pregame analysis, to the weekly wrap up shows, to the incredibly deep gameplay mechanics, CH 2K8 was a college basketball fan's dream come true. Needless to say, I was crushed earlier this year when I heard that 2K would no longer be continuing the franchise that had left me wanting more after the release of 2K8.

Thank you SO MUCH for giving a fair summation of NCAABB09 while mentioning all the things brought up in CH2K8 comparisons.

I get so tired of everyone saying, "It doesn't have this, it doesn't have this." GET OVER IT! This is a great game, and as you said, the presentation is AMAZING. I owned CH2K8 and traded it in for credit to purchase EA's college basketball game. It is a decision I do NOT regret =)

Thanks again, great review!
