    Re: This game owns my soul.

    Short on cash and craving a College Basketball game resulted in me picking this up again. This thread and the screen shot for the OS College Basketball season simulation feature really pushed me over the edge.

    I owned the game on 360 but traded it in with the console when I bought my PS3. I quickly started up a closed legacy but I didn't even end up playing a game because I just got addicted to recruiting. I simmed every game for 3 seasons until I got some recruits that I liked. The coaching carousel has tempted me to leave my North Florida Ospreys but I'm trying to stay loyal.

    It kinda surprised me how addicting the game is. It's very rewarding to finally get some 3 star recruits to commit to my school, so I can only imagine how it will feel when I finally get into the NCAA tourney.

      Re: This game owns my soul.

      I'm here to admit that I am also a CH 2k8 addict.

      On Christmas Break from college. Needless to say, I've been playing this game every day. Even got Forza 3 for Christmas. Hasn't been enough to put this game down.

      In my 4th season of career legacy. First 3 seasons at UC Riverside of the Big West conference. Led them to the tournament first two seasons, got to the elite 8 my 2nd season w/ wins over UCLA, Notre Dame, and UNC before losing to Florida. Then lost in the conference semis my 3rd season and was relegated to the NIT.

      Now I've moved on to the North Texas Mean Green. First game of the season, and we upset the OU Sooners (who still had Blake Griffin as a SR, BTW).

      This game is what every sports game should do right. It has the fun factor, has the depth, has the atmosphere, has the replayability. The College Hoops Tonight show is the best presentation thing in a game since NFL 2k5 halftime show. And to think Madden still can't get a solid highlight show right...anyways.

      This game has consumed me. I love it. It's almost fitting that there isn't a 2k9 or 2k10. Seeing as how even as EA keeps putting out it's game, THIS is still the best College Hoops game ever made.

      And on a side note, I had WAY more fun with this than I did with NBA 2k10. Love this game.

          Oh the joys of using a freshman point guard. Sometimes they make me so happy with what they can do, then sometimes I am just shaking my head.

          I really am enjoying this game again.

            Re: This game owns my soul.

            Just picked this up for $9 at GS. I played the mess out of 2K8 for PS2 but in the year or so I've had PS3, never thought about getting this game. The EA titles just don't cut it for me after playing all of the 2k series from last gen.

            I've been browsing the roster forums and see a few users have started a 09-10 roster file. But can you still download the original 07-08 rosters online? Or even better is there an 08-09 roster available? I would rather use a completely accurate roster file that is dated than one that may not have complete ratings for the current season.

              Picking this game up used for the prices it's being offered is absolutely STEALING. I'm in the middle of re-doing my rosters and it's killing me that I can't play it until I'm done (I'm obsessed that way). I'm through 228/339 teams right now. No, I'm not online so I have to do this myself. There is a sick, twisted side of me that enjoys rostering. I guess that's why I did 1-AA rosters for NCAA so many years.

                I just got this game for the 1st time today! I ordered it from Amazon, BRAND NEW for $8.84. I had to pay $7.00 for the shipping. $15.00 for the best College Basketball game is not bad! I can't get this game out of my PS3! I think I am addicted! Thanks OS for putting me onto this game!
                PS3, we had a good run! (7/18/09-10/5/14)

                  Re: This game owns my soul.

                  I'm 15-2 right now ranked #2 in the nation. Beat 3 top 10 teams. My 2 losses? Both to unranked teams. One on the road to a team that's not even .500 the other in a tournament.

                  That's why this game is awesome. Well reason number 12 thousand.

                    Needless to say, we just cranked up a new 2 man legacy with the updated rosters. Good times ahead.

                    Still going strong in my Auburn legacy too.

                      Been running with Indiana (updated rosters) lately. 4-0 so far with wins over Chattanooga, Ole Miss, Illinois State (who gave me the toughest game, 78-73), and Xavier in the final of the "Deep Dish" Tournament in Chicago.

                      Up next: #2 Georgia Tech in Bloomington. Should be a good one.

                        I have been playing this game since the early part of December, longer than Madden I cannot put this game down.
                        Those who do not have this game better get down to Gamestop I found copies as low as $7.99

                          In my 3rd year at Toledo, lost horribly in the first game to Indiana State, then put up 9 straight wins (2 of which I SHOULD have lost, but found a way), then lost 2 games in awful fashion, one of which was the conference opener....

                          my team shot almost 39% from 3-point range last year, but this year it's about 30% with the same guys....can't figure out why the shots just wont fall

                            This is the best basketball game to date. I have it since it came out and every year it goes back in so I can play my legacy.

                            Get this from the bargain bin if you havent already done so!
