My roommate got this game for Christmas and sent it to me since he is studying abroad. I played the game (2nd time playing, lil cousin got it for Christmas) and really got a chance to study it. For Blue Ribbon to have helped, this is completely unacceptable. I am a college basketball junkie so the accuracy of the rosters and ratings are a big thing for me. I looked through teams' rosters and they are completely out of wack. Some examples are the starting lineups. Cornell (defending Ivy League Champs), their top player and best shooter Ryan Wittman is not in the starting lineup. VCU, their 6th man #5, Brandon Rozzell is not even on the 12 man roster by default, even though he has a 70 rating. Instead, they have a walk-on that's not even on the team anymore on the roster. Elon (the school I attend) is missing one of its best players. Their starting center, #23, Ola Atoyebi is not even in the game for some reason. Instead, two walk-ons (neither on the team this year and one with the wrong classification) are in the game instead. Also, some freshman guard that is not on the team at all is on the roster. Those were just a few examples.
The ratings are even worst. The best player on Elon's team in a 7'0 redshirt freshman who might possibly be the worst player on the team. He is an 80+ in the game. VCU has a freshman that is starting on their team in real life who is overly rated as well. Terrence Oglesby of Clemson has 3pt rating of 73. How is it possible that a knock down shooter like him has the same rating as a Ty Lawson? Another terrible rating is having Danny Green ranked lower than Marcus Ginyard. We all know that Ginyard is the usual starter but to be rated higher than Green is outrageous. Also, on the UNC roster, Marc Campbell, a little used walk-on is rated a 74, while key reserve Will Graves is way lower.
I noticed all this before I even played a game. I then played a game and it got worst. Not only is the game a poor play but players played completely unlike themselves or their ratings. I played VCU (me) vs. Davidson and Stephen Curry only took 6 shots in the game (1 3pt attempt) and VCU's Eric Maynor raked him on numerous occasion with ease. While I was stealing the ball from Curry, Brandon McKillop, #1, was driving down the lane dunking. Davidson played nothing like the real Davidson. If this game is an upgrade from last year then last year's game had to be the worst basketball video game. I refuse to ever play this game again. I'm glad I wasn't the one to waste money on this awful game.
Sorry for being so long but I have to vent because I was so excited about a college basketball game.
