I just did the exact same thing. Hard to find good rosters though for the PS3

You're going to love the legacy mode so much more than NCAA '10 franchise!

I'm still wowed by this

Weird thing about this though I have seen 3 different players, all from the same country, with the same exact name and appearence. One was a center and the other two were power fowards with the same weight, height, name, everything. I dont know if my game cloned them or something but it was really odd.

Re: This game owns my soul.

This game is the best 360 sports game that has been made, IMO. And really, it isn't even close. Such a shame that we didn't get to see a 2k9, 2k10, and beyond.

Re: This game owns my soul.

Alright, I'm definitely picking this game back up tomorrow. I downloaded the demo just now for fun, to see what I thought after having not played this game in well over a year. And well, it's still amazing. Just playing the demo of it makes me want it again, lol. I'm not a big fan of going back to old sports titles and playing them. I'm always playing the new ones. But considering EA's lack of quality in their NCAA Basketball series, and 2k not developing College Hoops anymore, nothing else I can do except pick this classic back up.

There is one gripe I would probably have though. The commentary is outdated now. When playing the demo, the play by play commentator said something about how everyone expected UNC to get past Georgetown in the 2007 tourney. So, it'll be a little annoying hearing them talk about things that happened for a team in their 2007 season, considering it's 2010 now in real life, but I can get passed that easily.

Anyway, can't wait to get a legacy rolling!

Commentary is actually pretty good. Even though the game is three years old, you won't be bothered by some of the outdated things mentioned even though they aren't much. Any presentation negatives will be quickly diminish once you see the Weekly Wrap up show, Selection Sunday show and the other shows.

Well that's good to hear. I wasn't too worried about it anyways. But having not played it since it was still a fairly new game, I was a little worried about it being so outdated as far as what they would say in game and other little things here and there. Either way, 10 bucks for easily the best sports title I have ever played is well worth it. I'm sure I'll enjoy it just as much as I did before. Can't wait.

Re: This game owns my soul.

Does anyone still do sim-only legacies? I want to fire one up but the sim engine is so-so in this game. Is the gamecast thing more accurate when simming? I've never tried it somehow.

Re: This game owns my soul.

After reading some of this thread, I just bought the game on Ebay. Who/where can I get the updated rosters for this past season?

I'm a gamecast sim-only guy, I don't really like coach mode or the gameplay (too glitchy, unrealistic and time-consuming). Straight sim is complete junk because the CPU doesn't know how to manage rotations or guys with foul trouble.

Gamecast is good feature (get control over playing time, tempo, pressure, fast breaking, board crashing, timeouts, and it is a big time saver) but the management of late-game situations is almost disregarded (no intentional foul button, no clock draining, weird shots taken at inappropriate times, foul shots don't get taken with 0:00 on the clock), can't see opponent's ratings in-game and you can't change defenses or turn the press on/off so you're stuck with your coach settings in some cases.

Not a game-killer for me though as most of my games end in a blowout with me on the winning end and Gamecast is just the best way for me to get game results in a timely, relatively accurate manner with a semblance of control. Wish 2K Sports would have patched the thing, with a few minor improvements the thing would be perfect. You should try it at least once.

Re: This game owns my soul.

^^ Cool, good info. How long does it take you to GameCast each game?

Also, are you saying you usually end up blowing the other team out with GC?

9-11 minutes for blowouts, 13-15 minutes for the closer games (lead within 10 points). I can get through 3 games with gamecast in the time it would take to play or coach mode an entire game.

No, I play very weak non-conf schedules and am by far the best team in my conference (at least 5 points overall better than the 2nd best team) so blowouts would likely happen anyway. In fact I go 12 deep and my some of my bench guys minutes are in the vicinity of my starters. Blowouts are more a result of superiority over an opponent rather than the game mode.

Re: This game owns my soul.

Ok, that's a good thing though. Thanks for your help.

Re: This game owns my soul.

I just finished a great game for my team. Freshman Mandy Pearson had 23 points and was beasting it all game. With about 15 seconds left in the game, Pearson got a fast break and slammed it down with a hard dunk. After that dunk, the whole crowd started chanting "he's a freshman". That was really cool.
