Fans are hard to come by. For a Kentucky fan basketball is 365. Most peeps in Syracuse have no idea whats going on until Big East time. How many games do you think Syracuse sells out or comes close to selling out? A lot of games are blacked out simply cause Boeheim decides to play teams like: Binghamton, ALbany, Cornell, Colgate, Niagra, Canisius, Sienna, etc. Boeheims response: We do this because the football team doesnt make money. Just look at how many home games they play a year.

Ok that Reason is complete BS. Like Kentucky, Syracuse has its DieHards and its fans who only cheer when everyone else does. Last year, no games were blacked out and its the same this year, NO GAMES ARE BLACKED OUT.

Also, Syracuse plays these teams from throughout the state for two reasons, Branding. Syracuse likes to prove its the best Team in the state and they have played alot of these teams for a very long time. And not all of these teams are Crap, Cornell, Siena, and Niagara are all capable of making noise come tournament time. And since Syracuse has always played these teams, i doubt he would make a statement about the Football team not bringing in any money because that was not always the case.

Clemson?!?!?!.....Was I supposed to start laughing when I saw that. Because I did. I see them regularly because of regional coverage, so they're getting better, but #2? Clemson at #20 is reasonable. Tennessee gets love though. I've been saying for years even before Bruce Pearl got there, UT is a sleeper job. And oh yeah. Dynasty will probably suck again this year. Based on no new info and 3 weeks til realease.

Did some of you guys not watch the video or read the interview? There is no way this took only 20 minutes.

Additions that I count:
- new team specific chants
- made the crowd more vibrant (i.e. waving hands during FTs)
- upped the crowd volume and responsiveness to scoring runs
- made the camera shake
- added code to drop opposing team's ratings at proper situations
- added code to make rankings change every year in Dynasty
- added new Toughest Places graphics
- new Toughest Places commentary

I'm willing to bet that just recording a few new commentary lines about the arenas took more than 20 minutes.

Granted this isn't a huge new feature, but better game atmosphere and crowd intelligence are welcome improvements. Seeing the stands rock during a close rivalry is an awesome feeling when playing a video game. It does make a difference.

Just be patient. Dynasty info will eventually come. And if it doesn't, I'm sure some people on here will review the game mode to let you know if it has been improved before you spend $60.

NBA 2k10 didn't release that much info until a couple weeks before release.

As you can see, I'm a UNC fan but I don't think they have the toughest venue to play in. I've been there, and you're not a fan of college basketball if you walk in the Smith Center and don't get awestruck. But toughest? I gotta disagree.

But Clemson? Clemson? I've been there, too, and...no. Clemson doesn't even make my top 10. That was a mistake. They have a great football atmosphere in Death Valley for football, but Littlejohn is NOT #2.
