After an exciting start, the college basketball season is hitting it's stride as we near the Holidays. With Tournament time still months away, I thought it would be an interesting idea to run 2010 season simulations using both the newly released NCAA Basketball 10 and the 2 year old College Hoops 2k8 with an updated 09/10 roster set.

Not only was I interested in respective simulation results between both games, I was also curious to see come March which game produced the most realistic results. Call it a grudge match of the simulation engines if you will.

If you used the 360 rosters from here, it's not really a good time to do a simulation with them. The results would be messed up because the smaller conference teams still have their seniors from last year, and in general are rated higher but I'm not going to get into explaining why.

Great idea, but try it again in two months and I'm sure it will look a lot better.

I'm eager to see what this year's NCAA offering from EA does. I have the game and haven't simmed yet to the end of the season. Those are believable rankings and stats for the season, it's cool the CHOOPS is still relevant and better in many cases than NCAA Hoops 10

Pitt isn't even going to make the tourney, let alone as a #1 seed. I love CK2k8, but this is kind of a joke.

I'm curious to see what 09/10 roster set was used for this comparison?

this must be a powerful game. all these years gone by, and people still love it. I've never played it...might have to grab it one day.
