NCAA Basketball Producer Introduction

[bonannogiovanni]

Jab_Step,

first of all thanks for answering our questions,

mine is, has the rim physics undergone a major overhaul? I mean, does the ball rattles in and/or out, or is always a hit or a miss? this has been my gripe when playing ea basketball series....

Thanks.....

That is correct...As you increase your school pride in dynasty you will get more fans, grow your student section, get cheerleaders and a band, and unlock facilities via recruiting and alumni challenges.

Just messing with ya. Can't remember who you were at the NCAA 09 Community Event. I suffer from old man who drinks way too much beer memory.

The ball/rim physics are the same as what is in NBA Live 09 which are different than last year, which means everything isn't just a hit or miss.
One thing that is different is we have added different ball trajectories on passes to get rid of some of the 'floaty' passes that occured in the past.

I apologize if this has been covered, and feel free to point me in the direction of the answer, but here's my question:

What's the story on the classic teams? I know that the plan is to have a 64-team "dream" tournament like in MM 2001. However, those classic teams were just squads from specific years. Will the all-time teams for particular schools be in the game as well? If so, will there be an option to play a tournament with them?

You might not be able to tell me this, but as a Davidson alum, I have to ask...how's the Cinderella voting coming along?

We have a big announcement around the Tournament of Legends coming soon, but I can’t reveal anything yet. We do not have any all-time teams in the game, we’ve cleaned up the classic team feature so we can focus on making the individual teams themselves as solid as possible.
As for the Cinderella voting, I can’t reveal anything yet, but the answer will come soon along with the announcement around the Tournament of Legends.
