Re: NCAA Basketball 09 Video: North Carolina @ Duke
 

The video definitely looks good especially compared to MM08. The animations are improved but some are still bit funky. I still do not like most of the jump shot animations they're sufficient. The game is smoother and the speed is much more realistic.

I love the floor spacing and realistic defensive recovery. That alone will help me enjoy this game a ton, over the years it has become the biggest gripe of 2K's games for me.

The rebounding seems greatly improved from last year and I like the contact in the paint, that's not as messy as MM08.

I'm not concerned with so many shots going in, like most demos/vids I assume this is on an easy setting.

Looking forward to a demo, but not impressed by the video. Why were Duke fans cheering a UNC bucket? The game was very dark as well, hopefully that's just the video, and not how the game looks.

Dark to anyone else?

Anyway better than I expected it to be. I will definitely try out the demo and maybe get this through gamefly.

the demo is supposed to be out Thursday.

Re: NCAA Basketball 09 Video: North Carolina @ Duke
 

I've noticed that a few of EA's games on next-gen are dark by default. FIFA 08 & 09 were like that.

whats the green line underneath the players suppose to mean?

their shorts are too baggy look like they playing street ball lol

looks good though

Re: NCAA Basketball 09 Video: North Carolina @ Duke
 

I thought the EA guys here said specifically that this game was based on the Live 09 engine, not 08. I certainly hope it's 09.

I'll add one more complaint to those I've read here already. Even in this short clip, there's repetition in the play-by-play. How many times did we hear Nessler say 'Up...and IN!'
