    It's the best college basketball game around, in terms of overall depth

      the depth is what keeps you around. The gameplay is good.
      Gaming hard since 1988

      I have won like 25 Super Bowls in Madden so I am kinda a big deal.

          There is for the xbox 360. Not too sure about it when it comes to the ps3 but the 360 has a great roster from raiderfan.

            You can still find roster. If you want 10-11 roster then they are there. If you would like to play with 09-10 roster you can find those as well.

            I thin this game is so great because of the amazing depth of the legacy mode. You become the coach. You can start as any school and become the coach of that school or create your own. This option is called "Open Legacy." Then my favorite is the "Closed Legacy." Here you create your coach and choose from one of the 20 or so bottom feeder schools. You build your career as the coach. The better you do the better job offers that come in. You achieve goals to gain points to improve your coach. In the Open option you can max your coach out from the start. The mode offers weekly training/practice to improve players in areas like shooting range and defense among other areas. You have a AAU type league called "The ABL" which allows you to scout recruits. The best part is you get to play the games so you can see how they play. Makes finding that diamond even more enjoyable. You have pre-season tournaments and the NCAA & NIT at seasons end. Did I mention the coaching carousel which makes the game complete.

            As far as game play goes, the game still plays very well. The game is 4yrs old now but has held its age well. I enjoy the game as much today as I did when I first bought the game. This game by far is my all time favorite game. I love the NCAA football series but it can't compete with Choops2k8. The game is so deep and offers the gamer long-term playability.
            Relax, it's just a video game!

              CH2k8 is still solid, and my love does run deep for the game. Loyalty for this this title is deep. So I am very reluctant to let this love affair end, to the point where I might actually be neive when it comes to gameplay, graphics and the legacy mode.
              Here is why:

              The game has gone from great to good. thanks in part to the vast improvements found in NBA2k11 and the overall presentation/atmosphere found in EA's NCAA Basketball 10.

              I played alot of CH2k8 up until this basketball season. This game is finally starting to show its age. The legacy mode is really done well and does keep me playing somewhat, but it can get a little tedious when it comes to recruiting, player development, etc. (but that might be due to my time constraints).

              The animations, graphics/player movement and presentation has fnally brought this game back to earth, and thats due to EA's motion offense found in their college title, and the 2k's NBA title. Player movement is practically non existent in CH2k8,

              2k8 does offer positives:

              when it comes to a teams offensive strategy.
              Some teams pound the ball insides, some play up tempo, some play half court. the 200+ teams found in the game do provide varying styles of play. So the CPU controlled teams do provide something different everytime.

              The amount of animations found in the game is unbeleivable. Im still discovering new animations.

              Collision detection is good.

              The amount of sliders is unbeleivable. so you can custom fit this game to any varying degree.

              The defensive AI in this game is also solid. watching teams collapse on a player driving to the basket is nice. watching teams adjust there defense to your style of play.

                best game ever made.. well one of in my opinon.. best basketball game by far that i've played.. Start in a career legacy and youll be hoooked trying to sign good recruits to come to your small school trying to get an auto bid into the tourny...

                Just absolutely a blast and i still play it a lot 3 or 4 yaers down the road.. however long it has been.

                  I suppose if you had to pick a year to end a yearly released game, 2k8 was a good time to end it as it is highly customizable and still plays a great game of hoops.

                    I'm also on the fence of buying CH2K8 just by reading some of the threads here, my question to you guys would be, how well do the plays of certain playbooks run. Like I'm sure it wouldnt be like NBA2K11, but it's not like, boring and dead is it?

                      Depends on how often you call plays to be honest. If you expect the computer to control your off ball players in your offense, I find it to be a bit disappointing. If you call a play, they run it. Sometimes they take a while to develop, but they run the play as designed until you break it.

                        The xbox 360 has a very solid roster out, the ps3 has one out that has most of the major teams edited, but thats it, and there are quite a few errors. A guy started with it, put it on 2kshare, and then others have gone back and forth editing as they see fit.
