I got this for Christmas, but thankfully I had already played it so I didn't open it. The Gameplay is choppy, slow, and just flat awkward. This game has absolutely no feel. I found myself randomly passing the ball, before randomly firing a shot, because that strategy worked just as well as actually attempting to play right. I like 2k8 quite a bit (its not great, but certainly better than this garbage), I thought it was a little sluggish until I played this game. I had hopes that EA could get their act together and bring back their first gen gameplay. I can assure you they surely did NOT. I would recommend you buy College Hoops 2k8, even though you're forced to play with last years rosters. The only reason this gets a two is because of the updated rosters.

Its a shame that this is the only college basketball game on the market because this game is horrible! i briefly played the demo and i purchased it because me and my friends are big college basketbal fans and enjoyed playing NCAA 2K8 last year. By purchasing this game I threw 60$ out the window! This game has hardly any special features not more than half of those 2K8 had.....You can't start more than 1 dynasty at once ( A feature that me and my friends enjoyed the most), There are no fun features like create a team or any other custimization at all...and the only custimization feature that you will end up using is edit players because the player models are soooo far off they are almost unreparible all together...Many major players are totally missing from the game...As for the gameplay don't even get me started the game play sucks! If there is a press it takes around 6 seconds to dribble past half court because when you are running with a point guard at full speed (which isnt very fast at all) you come to a complete stop and seeminly go into panic mode and often pass the ball away or drop it so that the D can pick it up....when you finally get the ball past halfcourt the problems continue no matter where you stand past halfcourt the defender doesnt stand more than a foot away from you at all times which makes it nearly impossible to get an open shot off which would be nice at times because you often finish a 10 minute half with a score of around 15 - 20. other problems past halfcourt no offensive rebounding even with UCONNS + 7 foot center. hardly any scorign with a guard in the paint because guards can't get past the defender infront of them because again running at full speed doesnt generate any momentum what so ever...NCAA did 1 thing right this season the courts look more realistic than before (too bad you won't enjoy playing in them).....bring back 2K sports!!!!
