Should have used Baylor...=/

How long is the demo and how close to a final build is the demo?

Two things to look forward to next week, GoW 2 and a day before that, this demo.

Kentucky will be very good this year. Patrick Patterson and Jodie Meeks are healthy.

I believe last years demo was UK vs. Louisville... right?

Kentucky will not be very good this year.. they will be decent.. PP is good.. Meeks is very very overrated

Meeks will likely (barring injuries) battle for scoring title in the SEC. But I have to admit, I love people's thoughts on UK right now. By january everyone will realize this team is better than anyone expected, but until then they will be surprising some folks.

BTW, how has anyone overrated Meeks? He was injured all of last year and pretty much isn't mentioned in any conversations (yet) for All-SEC (maybe 2nd or 3rd team at best) or any other potential awards.

Please tell me you will come back to this thread and admit you are wrong after you see Meeks this year. If by the end of the year he isn't averaging at least 16 ppg, I will come back and admit it myself. But to say he is "very very overrated" is so laughable. I love it!

EDIT: I forgot to mention something else. If you think that Patrick Patterson is just "good" then you either don't follow college basketball or have limited knowledge in it.

Its obviously Albany vs. MTSU.

I will try it out and see if it is worth the purchase.

When my Facebook status automatically updates to say "T.J. is playing NCAA Basketball 09 Demo", I'll let you know how it is.

I understand your opinion of Meeks because of his injuries last year, but if you had seen him his freshman year you would have known he was going to be a good player. Except now that he isn't injured, I think he will be a great player.

But why would you think he isn't very good? He can shoot the 3, the mid range, drive to the basket, is strong, and is fast as lightning. What about that makes him overrated? He came out last year and played in the Houston game, while injured and scored I think 20 or 24 points in the first half. Unfortunately he got injured last year in the 2nd exhibition game and never recovered. But he is 100% now and I suspect you will be eating some crow soon.

But I am so curious as to why you think he is overrated?

PS3 updates every Thursday night, so probably 5-6PM EST.

One half, 8 minutes though, multiple camera views & all levels
of difficulty. I am about to use the 79 Spartans vs. Kentucky...

Wow! You can clearly tell that this game uses the Live engine. Couldn't expect anything different though. The momentum meter is nice. The crowd really gets into it. Not a bad game at all! Sucks about not being able to have real names online though!

I don't think the NCAA license will let EA use the real names online.
