This game owns my soul.

Great stuff Ehh, that movement in the Syracuse video is beautiful. I can't believe it's the computer moving the ball like that. Can't wait to see more videos.

Quick question for you if you don't mind: With a capture card, how exactly do you get the video on the computer. Do you hook up the 360 directly to your computer and play off a monitor or Do you hook it up afterwards and transfer replays to it? What kind did you get and how much did it cost?

Well as I said I just got mine yesterday so I only played around with it so far but I just changed the settings in my PS3 so the output goes through component cables instead of HDMI (I think 360 has the same setting options) and hooked the PS3 red/yellow/white cables into the capture device (which is just a USB connection to my PC).

I then used Windows Movie Maker to capture the video, real easy. A small box pops up on your PC that shows what's going on with your PS3, basically a small viewing of what you'd see on your TV.

The two vids I posted are just saved replays though, the box in WMM on your PC is too small to actually play a game. I need to get more cables and splitters to hook everything up so I can play/watch on my TV and record on my PC simultaneously.

That's what I bought, $52 at Best Buy including tax. Awesome deal, IMO. They have a package (Video Creator Plus) with the same hardware but it also includes their software (which I read online is horrible and WMM is better) and a few other meanginless toys and it's $90. I def recommend what I got though, $40 cheaper and essentially does a better job of capturing video via WMM.

Ehh, that looks good. I am will start my 2k8 dynasty (St.John's, baby) in about a week or two. It keeps the game very fresh for me to only play it during the college season. I am lookinng forward to the ABL games and recruiting.

'Cuse, baby! How do you get those classic teams, anyway? I can't unlock any of 'em.

I need to start up an SU Legacy. They are my favorite team but I actually have only used them in exhibitions in this game for some reason.

[ehh]

I'm pretty sure you don't need to unlock Syracuse '03. Just go to a Quick Game and the classic teams are listed as a conference all the way at the beginning of the alphabet, so hit L1 until you see "Classic Teams" as the conference and there you go. I think there are about 30 classic teams you have to unlock and 30 you have for free.

Thanks for the info Ehh.

Looks like I got something to spend my $50 gift card on.

MY cpu isnt fast enough for a good capture card, so im stuck with a PCI express VE from ATI. It can now be found for pennies i bet, as I paid $40 6 years ago. It's basically VHS/TV quality, which in todays time is hard to look at. I use my xbox 360 composite cable (the one that came with the basic xbox 360 years ago) , with the yellow/red/white.. Most of the time I just play off my monitor in HD and later switch out the video cable for the composite cable, when I need to record. It's too hard to record and watch unless you can compress and record 10-15 GBs at a time.

most standard PCI capture cards in the $100 and even then only get HD through the over the air antenna channels. It still uses a basic yellow or S-video for other inputs. so youre almost better sticking with the extremely old cards as they put less strain on your CPU.

you can record "from webcam" with youtube and tie into your capture card and get a straight feed. quality is questionable on that method.

some other other capture programs:

debut: its free and the viewer alone was the only program that let me view it without lag. so it processes much quicker it seems

virtualdub: works great too. I let that record uncompressed. the video size is just astronomically big, but for small clips it works just fine.. WMM does a mighty fine job with the uncompressed clips.

lastly, Windows Media Encoder: some capture cards dont work with that program but for hte ones that do, it works just as good as anything out there.

youre stuck in the times of old xbox1 with the video quality when you play and record for the most part, so i tend to only due saved replays via that route

I picked up my UConn dynasty again last night after tons of time with Live 10, bad idea.

Year 3 in my dynasty and I'm in a rebuilding year, I had to travel down to #6 Louisville. I'm 3-4 in Big East play, real young team.

UL absolutely put it on me, hit 6 of 7 three's in the first five minutes, pressed and blocked five shots in the paint in the first part of the first half. Needless to say I was down 42-14 at one point. UL was getting into the lane at will and got tons of easy buckets, my team was so rattled. Also didn't help that I had at last 5 turnovers because my brain was mixing up Live's controls with 2K's.

I ended up losing by 19 but it obviously wasn't nearly that close, the game was over five minutes after tip off.
