    Why I hate CH2K5....

    Maybe it's just because there's too many new online games out there right now, or maybe it's because I play at weird times and am really picky about the difficulty setting, but this game is way too good for there to be as few people playing it as there are. I've been in love with College Hoops series for the past 3 years now, and that always seems to be the problem, there's never enough people online, but there's usually more people than this at the beginning of the season. Hopefully, eventually people will get tired of Halo and Recon (not to mention the other gadzillion new Live titles out there), but until I can find a plethora of MOP games at 4 am, I won't be happy.

    Wrong game for multiplayer

    Yes, there are online play and leagues available, but the simple fact is that most buy this game because it is arguably the best career mode in sports gaming. I love the idea that I can build up my coach/school over many years into a powerhouse. From what I've heard, there are more people playing multiplayer MM2005 online. I'm not sure that ESPN CH is the game for you in this case. Just my opinion.

        I've never played one game on XboxLive since the CH series came out, why waste your time doing that when there's dynasties to built in legacy mode!!?!

            Oh no, I won't be swayed that easily....the reason I play CH is because it's so well balanced. I've always been an NBA fan actually, but the NBA games have always let me down (with exception to this year), so I stumbled across this by accident awhile back. I try Live each year, and am normally disappointed, so I've never honestly given MM a chance....too happy with CH. I just wish a few more people would play online.

                I dunno what it is, I'll play any game online except this one. College basketball is by far my favorite sport. So when its videogame comes out, I'm 100% focused on legacy mode. The recruiting, the tourney, the rivalry games, seeing players progress over their careers. Everything about that seems so much more intesing (sp?) than playing online exhibitions.

                    a great career mode would be "great" if you could play overtime games when the game is tied at the buzzer...and also, it would be "great" if my scouted info wouldnt disappear when i load the legacy back up...and i dont even want to mention the amount of times my game has froze on me..and no, its not a problem with my xbox because i had it repaired by xbox...all games work fine except for espn titles...so to say this is the "best" career mode is a slight overstatement...

                        Two things need to change for this game to explode online.

                        1. Online multiplayer legacy mode. That is probably still many years away.

                        2. More people have to stop playing like a punk and play straight up ball. Too many players still want to just win by find holes in the A.I. and flaws in the animation scripts.

                        Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.
