I enjoyed last years gameplay, can't wait for this one either.

This may be a nice game for online play, but only on PS2 right?

I rented it, and liked it OK. But theyhad zero names in the game. Even if you added them, they wouldn't be announced. Huge problem.

Also, the recruiting was all over the place. Basketball has a nice mix of regional and national recruiting teams. But the number 1 PG from NY probably isn't going to end up signing with #45 Fresno State. If this were the only occasion of this happening it wouldn't be a big deal. but it was consistent, so I hope they re-worked recruiting a great deal.

Actually that's pretty realistic if Tarkanian is coaching Fresno State. That sleaze ball coach obviously paid the kid off to get him to go to Fresno. Props to EA for factoring in the cheating aspect in recruiting.

I don't recall did they say the recruits names?
