Unfortunately I just found out that dynasty mode does not properly track your scholarships from year to year. I had a freshman transfer out and Kemba Walker leave early for the draft and I didn't get either of their scholarships to recruit/fill.

I just now started getting into this game this week. I purchased it for $40 at Best Buy last week. First of all let me say that I love College Hoops 2k8 and still play it. But damn is this game fun.
I love the way offenses are ran in this game by by my team and the computer. The atmosphere and crowds are really done well. The presentation is easily the best I have seen in a sports game. The graphics are nice and crisp and the lighting in the game is very good.
There are some things that I would love to see improved if the game ever comes back. I`m not a big fan of the menus. Also I would not mind seeing the dyansty beefed up a little bit. I love NCAA Football`s dynasty so I would not mind seeing them copy off of the NCAA Football series. Last but not least we need some more alternate jerseys and authentic arenas. Well I can`t forget online dynasty`s either.
It`s damn shame this game is not coming back for next season. I think they finally are on the right path with this game and have a great base to build on.

I have not bought an EA basketball game in a looooong time... That being said, with the tourney going on, I decided to pick this up and play for a few weeks.
I might be playing a lot longer and wish I had got on this game a lot sooner.
First off let me say, that the presentation is just insane in this game. Madden had better do this next year or I won't buy it. I will just play this. The idea of having two presentations and crews can really keep things fresh... And speaking of Madden, Gus needs to be in that game, Hammond is horrible.
I also like the controls, I picked up NBA 2k10 about two months ago, I still don't know how to do half the damn moves in that game. It's too hard, some people have work to go to and don't have time to take online tutorial classes on how to do post moves. This game is very user friendly and I like that.
Not too happy with smothing about the rim physics, not sure why, just does not seem right... But, that's about the only complaint I have so far with my limited time with the game.

Just searched this thread and still no patch I see? Is EA really abandoning everyone like that?
I've read a lot on this game and the CPU post play issue bothers me a lot, as does the 360 freezing issues.
If only EA released a patch, I'd buy it tomorrow. Instead, I'm buying CH2K8 tomorrow. Come on, EA, release a patch and you'll pick up a customer!

I'm playin with arkansas and I'm tryin to play like they do in real life and have the backup pg start 14 games and not let my starting pg play any cause he got suspended. I put him on the botton right before the redshirt players go and when I play games it subs my suppose to be starting pg in. I have auto-subs on cause I want every to get minutes except him. Anyway to stop him from coming in without turnin off auto-subs
Has anyone seen no-look or behind the back passes when using the freestyle passing? Just curious.
Btw, I'm finally seeing some alley-oop dunks
I'm playing with the dunk slider at 100, and its almost perfect IMO.

I think you have to have a PG with a high pass rating (maybe 95+?) to get a lot of alley oops. In my second UConn season Kemba Walker had 99 for passing I believe and I was able to throw alley-oops left and right.
just curious.. i'm about to pick up this one, but what system do you guys recommend it for? PS3 or 360? I usually only get exclusives for PS3.. but it seems the roster for the PS3 version really helps.. thanks in advance.

Just got the game because I am tired of playing 2k8 for 3 years. Here are my initial impressions:
- I am not noticing the horrible CPU post game like others have. Sure, a couple times they get the ball and just shoot it right away, but it is so quick I can't block it and I've seen a lot of nice drop step moves and some pass outs.
- Love the Motion Offense, and all the plays. My high school team actually runs a variation of the Dribble Drive, so running it in this game is awesome.
- The rosters, appearances, and ratings in this game are pretty bad. I mean a walk-on from UConn is rated a 79, John Wall is in the 90's for 3 pointer. Some guys have the wrong skin color. Even with downloaded rosters, it's still bad.
- I thought without tendencies that star players wouldn't take over games for the CPU. I was wrong, as John Wall dropped 24 on me in a 10 minute half game the first time I played.
- I like the presses, and zone defenses in this game, as they are not as hectic in 2k8s where steals in the backcourt are easy. Presses really force teams to make quick shots, so if your an up-tempo team it plays to your favor.
- Passing in this game is crazy. I love the off-ball control, as I like to cut somebody into the weakside of a 2-3 zone for some easy buckets. Once I see a team like Syracuse's zone rise a little bit, I can zip a pass behind the D. Also the freestyle passing leads to some great passes for bigs finishing.
- Stars can do some really cool stuff in this game. In a game against my brother, Ohio State at Xavier, I had 40,11 and 10 with Evan Turner thanks to some great free-style passing and some amazing euro-steps, step backs, and up and unders. He had 58 with Jordan Crawford as he did the same in a 3 overtime thriller. At the end of the game we had to have Crawford or Turner shoot because they couldn't be stopped and we couldn't risk some one else shooting.
So far I've had a good experience with this game.

Just played an amazing game, Michigan State vs. Butler in the Final 4. Butler was killing me, and had a 18 point lead with 9 minutes left in the game. I roared back though, thanks to turnovers and my transition game, which by the way is pretty good in this game. Summers and Lucious were nailing 3's left and right, and with 30 seconds left I was down 6. Summers hit a deep shot, but his foot was barely on the line. Then Butler inbounded to Hayward, who I fouled and he hit both. Still, Summers hit another long range bomb, 3 of his 20. Down 3, Butler gave it to Smith, who calmly hit both freebies with 6 seconds left. I threw it to half-court and called timeout.
On the inbounds play, Lucious caught it and hit another deep 3, and the deficit was cut to 2. I fouled Mack this time, who had 18 on the night, and he hit the first with .7 seconds left. He missed the second one, and I had a chance with a 90 footer, but it sadly came nowhere close. Butler had advanced to the National Championship game in front of their home crowd.
Overall, I am loving this game, but I can't find much to do so this simulation of the Final 4 is atleast making me want to play this game. Next up, WVU vs. Duke, and the winner faces Butler.

I think this game is pretty good. I play it almost everyday especially since its tourney time. The graphics are good. I like the motions in the game. I was debating on trying 2k8 with the rosters but im not going to. The things I can't stand is in the first year of the dynasty a person can't customize their schedule. If someone wants a quick fix on a mid major school like Chattanooga, ETSU, etc they have to go pretty much perfect to get ranked. I played a dynasty with UTC and I had to be 25-0 before I even cracked the top 25. I wish the rosters were a whole lot better as well. What is the point of having tattoos on the edit menu when a person can't even use them? I still havent gotten that. Another thing is editing the class. I know for Tennessee they have Skylar McBee as a black senior and Tennessee's best incoming freshman not even on the game. I just wish they would have put 1/4 of the time into this game as they do NBA live. If they done this maybe they would have sold enough and would actually make the game next year. Overall the gameplay is great and I love it.
Sadly i have to agree with ehh, picked up Ncaa 09 and cpu post game is far better than 10, there's much less of contact animations, less autoblock and less FT. Cpu is less predictable, specially the ultraboring shot from inside.
That leads at slight different (in part, better) game than 10, even if it lacks completely carry ball animations from edge (players stand still like stupid dummies) and all is more robotic. Ive noticed the passing system is FAR better than 10, u never miss an icon pass, 10 does, but it have the freestyle pass then is exciting and spectacular but less accurate. On the plus side 10 motion is great and presentation is out of this world.
It seems Live engine 2009 improve some things, but others are worst.
DC roster can fix some post cpu issues, but not completely and not for all colleges.
Dnt know what to think honestly... Switching back to 09 giving an overall much enjoiable game, and its weird.

I just got the game last week and have a stupid question...
How do recruiting points work? I started a Depaul Dynasty and it gave me 95 points. I assumed that the points would replenish each week, so I used all 95 right away. I've simmed ahead three weeks now and still have no points. Were those 95 just a one time thing?
This is my first time playing an EA basketball game since PS1, and the game gives zero description on the Dynasty mode. I just assumed the points were replinished weekly like 2k8.

Yeah, your point total is for the entire season. There is a thread in here somewhere that explains how to recruit, it's pretty darn easy.
Something like
Week 1: Send email/internet research
Week 2: Send letter of interest
Week 3: Offer scholie
You don't need any of the visits or things of that nature.
