I have the PS3 retail version and it plays better than the demo. I'm still trying to decide if the game was worth my $65 though. I'm having more fun with it than I was a week ago but it still seems to be lacking in a lot of areas. The only problem I've seen with sluggish play is when I'm using Vanderbilt. For some reason the game lags really bad, offline, when using them and they have a particular player (I think SG #1) that doesn't move the entire game. When you throw him the ball, he can't pass or anything. It's a weird glitch and I've only seen it with Vanderbilt and that particular player.

I been playing the Demo A LOT. I like the demo so i pretty much would love the retail game right? Does the names show up on the players after you put them in. All the highlights i see i don't see names on players feet

the final build is better than the demo in my opinion. And no, the players names do not show up under the player's feet. Hopefully it will be added via a patch. Very annoying.

What that sucks. Kind hard trying to know every players # on the cpu side.

I agree 100%. How this was overlooked is mind boggling, but again, the gameplay is good enough to overcome this hideous oversight.

And, I'm not saying you get used to it, but you learn to identify the players, at least the big time players. Its something you shouldn't have to do, but it can be done.

Thanks guys for the info. I broke down tonight, traded in some older games at Gamestop, and got NCAA 09 Bball for $38. I figure it should at least be worth that. I love CH2K8, but I am starting to tire on the 2K basketball engine(s) right now. I am getting a little tired of the spacing on the floor, and predictability after playing it so much. I may also pick up NBA Live this year for the first time in years as well.

I'm looking forward to trying it out! I'll have to find some good sliders too, but I'm going to try it first on default.

Man, that's a shame they overlooked that. I take it there is no obscure option to turn it on somewhere since you're pretty detail oriented.

Yeah, I searched high and low, but its nowhere to be found. I am hopeful that they'll be able to add it via a patch, but if not, I'll continue to deal with it.
