NCAA Basketball 09 Might Be Really Good

I don't normally like to predict such bold things with several days out from a review, but I am having a ton of fun with this game so far.

There are some weird gameplay quirks, but the game is just fun to play. I was a big fan of the dynasty mode last year, and it's only gotten better, so that's just another plus.

This isn't a full impressions update, ... Read More

NCAA Basketball 09 Answers and Impressions

Here are some overall thoughts after simming a season in dynasty mode. Also, I have included a few other nuggets as well for you guys who have been asking questions.

Dynasty Mode Thoughts

The mode is very similar to last year, which I consider a good thing. The mode has been slowly gravitating towards what college hoops has been offering in terms of how it handles the coaching market.

That's right folks, I will be updating my blog all week to give you impressions of NCAA Basketball 09. After being a March Madness veteran since the beginning, I can only hope the name change turns this franchise around after what was just an abysmal game last year.

On another note, who has the highest ovr so far? Mine is sitting at a paltry 11ovr
