What they should have done, is given us the ability to edit the schedules to add any left out games.

# 62 mistershadez @ 11/26/08 07:20 PM

Customize schedules are available in year 2 of the dynasty. Only restricted with the "authentic" schedule in your first year.

# 63 AC006299 @ 11/26/08 08:06 PM

I know there has been talk of the authentic schedules being messed up if teams were in a pre-season tournament...

could some one do me a huge favor and tell me the non-conference games for Miami (Ohio)?? we were in the 2k C vs. C tournament and im wondering if they put the Weber State and UCLA games in anyway since they have been played already

Thanks in advance

PS-anyone with 360 have it yet?

It was there before. It showed me that UNC was playing Chaminade on the 24th when I played this weekend.

Did they add player lock? Did they add the ability to play any matchup in your dynasty?....how did they not fix that??

I think it was pretty clear in Jab Step's thread on what was gonna be included in the patch. Why are you asking these questions when you already know the answer?

honestly you might want to trade this game in and cut your losses, its obvious this is not for you. there wont be any player locks this year, jumping animation have not changed.. post moves have gotten tighter though, offensive rebs have not changed. but im sure you knew all of this already.

I saw it before the patch too. Unfortunately it said Louisville's next game was against Gardner-Webb, which it's not.

I care

Guys act more like Toaster Struttels now. And I don't have issues with offensive rebounding, but no it wasn't addressed in this patch.

they were going to fix this, but saw how important it was to you and decided against it.

Obviously I'm kidding, or maybe I'm spot on who knows.

Seriously man, first and foremost, this patch was released 8 days after the game hit the shelves. 8 days. I am sure they patched in the things that they didnt' get time to finetune due to the early release.

Second, Sean already mentioned what was going to be addressed in the first patch so why the over-reaction?

Finally, I'd trade the game in if I was you. Judging from your posts, you're not going to enjoy this game more than what you did 2k8 so I would get rid of it and stop worrying yourself over it. If you're having to wait to have fun, its not worth it in my opinion.

Take care..

Wow. Someone needs to relax. And it's not me.

I don't really care if it was in before or not. Just commenting on what I have seen. It never was a concern considering it isn't or wasn't a problem.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, we can edit classic roster players, but not coaches.

Hopefully, that will make it for the next patch.

I hate post like this! There will be no College Hoops 2k10 or anymore College Hoops period! And no it isn't because of the exclusive license....remember EA has a license now!!

But because Take-Two pulled the plug on the series PERIOD!!!!

Had nothing to do with EA!! Take-Two and 2ksports themselves decided to canceled the series. There is no more College Hoops basketball.

I wish people would stop bringing it up, its getting freak'n OLD!!!!

If people loved the series so damn much it would have sold better!

Series is dead! We have NCAA series now, which for the 1st attempt isn't bad at all.

Everyone has a choice to voice there opinion if you do not like it then ignore the post. Also, EA and 2K sports have not made barely any money on the college basketball series period. March Madness for EA was garbage and the 2K series at least was close to the college experience a lot more then MM.

I am glad to see EA finally make a decent effort towards there basketball series not just in college hoops, but finally in pro hoops as well. 2K cancelled there college hoops game because the CLC wanted too much money for the college basketball license. For a game that is really not profitable anyway it was a business decision for 2K not to waste there time. EA on the other hand has plenty of money to piss away and they are determined to have the sole licenses for all sports.

The MLB, NFL, and CLC are all stupid for letting companies like EA and 2K have the only chance to make a licensed sport game every year for a particular sport. As you can see it let's EA put out games like Madden that are like updates every year and 2K who have put out sub par baseball games.

Bottom line until the Pro and NCAA leagues decide to stop letting companies have a pissing contest when it comes to throwing money at them, then we are going to keep getting games that are below there potential. Let the companies compete and offer better games every year instead of us the consumer having to be stuck with one choice because of the monopoly.
