2K8 or NCAA10?

[Votto4MVP]

hey guys,

I'm posting this in both forums so i can get the opinions of fans of each game.

Which game should I get? I'm looking for realistic gameplay, decent graphics, a deep dynasty mode, and above all, realistic rosters available for the upcoming season.

This would be for Xbox 360.

What do you guys think?

thanks in advance

Re: 2K8 or NCAA10?

I have both, and if you are looking for a game that is better in all areas go for 2k8. The game is the best college basketbal game of all-time. NCAA 10 is such a letdown. I would buy 2k7 over it. In Dynasty mode smaller teams have no chance in getting 5 stars on NCAA 10, but in 2k8 you can recruit those players from the time their freshman, to the time they and their recruitment and sign to a school. Nice to see your a Reds fan too!

thanks for the reply!

that really helps, since I'm a Butler fan (as of BEFORE last year lol) so i want to see the dawgs stay competitive.

and yeah, its great to finally see the Reds in the playoffs again, hopefully we can pull off a miracle now and get past Philly!

Re: 2K8 or NCAA10?

I would go with 2k8 for the rosters. I believe that editing the ncaa 10 rosters will be quite tough.

OUT OF THE BOX......

NCAA 10 is a better playing game with the pace, the floor spacing, post game animations, and presentation. It has all the tournaments, and the atmosphere is unmatched in a BBall game. But it does have the freezing issue.......(a work around is to not use the D-pad for anything during gameplay)

2K8 is unmatched in its dynasty mode and and recruiting, and allows you to CREATE your own plays. The ability to modify and share rosters, and draft classes to the NBA 2K games.

I play both as I have friends who play both. I'm waiting for DEEPBALL's rosters to be completed before I dive in deep in 2K8. He does a great job of creating realistic tendencies and matchups among the teams.

Re: 2K8 or NCAA10?

I also posted in your thread in the Choop2k8 section. I had both for the 360. NCAA 10 looked great but had zero to offer beyond that. I hated game play. The CPU would dump it to the post and shoot every time. In the 2 weeks I played the game I had games where I had double digit blocks because they did they same thing over and over. Recruiting sucked. I didn't know the points you had week one were the points that lasted all season. As Georgia I had less then 300 points. I was able to contact 2 players before running out of points. It has to be the worst I have ever seen and I only play sports games. The use of ESPN/CBS broadcast was nice at first but was not worth playing the game any longer. Was able to take the game back and get a new copy then returned it to another store to get my money back.
As for Choops2k8, I had a friend give it to me after buying a 360 off ebay. The game was still in the wrap. I have been playing it since 2008. The game has the deepest dynasty mode I have ever played. It makes it hard for me to play anything EA makes because they can't come close. Recruiting is great. They have a preseason high school league so you can scout players and find those diamonds-in-the-rough. Has coaches that effect progression, recruiting, and game play. The coaches change jobs at season end with coaches who retire, get fired, take new jobs, and move up. Even assistant coaches take new jobs and become head coaches. You have 2 options to start with. A open legacy, where you can be any school and that coach are create your own. Or the one I play, a closed legacy were you create a coach and start out at your choice of a list of low level schools. Here you have to work hard to move up and improve. The game offers full ability to edit players inside and outside legacy modes. With the Open legacy you can edit every teams players inside legacy. With closed legacy you can only edit you teams players. You can edit everything about a player including class outside the legacy but inside you can't edit class. I know you asked that in the other section.

You need to decide how you play. If you like play now games and want something that looks good then NCAA 10 is you game. If you like dynasty/legacy modes and love building a coaching career then Choop2k8 is you game.

thanks for all the input guys, gotta say i'm leaning towards 2k8

do the coaches have real names? they're not amateurs, like the players, so they wouldn't be included in those restrictions....

and are they editable? (name, appearance, coaching style, tendencies?)

thanks for all the help

I wish my 2k8 would not have broke or I would still be playing it right now.

And the Reds are a young team, and it should be 1-1 but the umps made a few bad calls, but with Bruce, Stubbs, Votto, as the young guys that are getting great post season experience along with pitchers in the bullpen like Chapman, and Cueto tonight I think? they should be a good team for a long time. I would reccomend trading a guy like Yonder Alonso for a number 1 starting pitcher though. Because with Votto there, why waste his talent, some rumors said we could have had Cliff Lee if we would have gave him up.

With a complete roster file the coaches will be named. I have a 07-08 base roster file with all coaches, including asst, for that year. Yes the coaches can be edited. I also have a 08-09 file with all but the small schools with correct coaches. You don't get that with NCAA 10. I had a file with coaches names and they would not show up in the dynasty mode. Also the same coach stays at a school forever in NCAA 10 where in 2k8 coaches change every year. There is even a screan that shows you the movement and any jobs you may be offered. I have had a few of my asst coaches move on to head jobs. A real cool feature that just adds to the 2k8 experance.

Re: 2K8 or NCAA10?

My honest opinion is neither.

First off the lack of customization to NCAA BB 10 makes it a none issue or option. You can't edit anything that will allow us to truly have a 2010 2011 season.

College Hoops 2k8 graphics are so bad, not to mention many bugs when editing teams it's just not worth it. But I will say this, they give you unlimited editing power and I respect 2ksports for that. Only problem is, online is pretty much gone and rosters can't be used online.

2kshare for CH 2k8 is no longer an option since 2k has been removing old servers to focus 100% on NBA 2k11's issues.

So as of now, neither 2k or EA gives us any warranted time to even give their games another year.

Both of these games are dead to me.

Re: 2K8 or NCAA10?

Since you follow Butler, go with 2k8 - they have a pseudo authentic looking Hinkle and include our fight song into the game, something NCAA 10 does not. NCAA 10 does however have the best broadcast style feel to any game I have ever played.

Die hard Reds fan here! (This is turning into a Cincinnati thread..)

I don't own 10', from EA, but I do own 2k8.
I'm not sure if the 2k share roster feature is still up and running, but that is a great reason to lean towards 2k. You can keep coaches and rosters up to date, as well as have a great playing, completely cutomizable game.

Re: 2K8 or NCAA10?

Is 2k producing a college version? If so will you be able to draft into dynasty from college to pro similar to EA's college football and madden? I've never played 2k's version before...but may have to resort to now since EA isn't producing....thoughts?

yeah i love how seemingly everyone posting in this thread is a reds fan
its a good time to be a reds fan, looking forward to a longer stay in the playoffs next year

no, 2k8 was their last one.....and i'm guessing you can only import players into nba 2k8



anyway, I ended up ordering 2k8, and it should be here tomorrow, so i'll find out if it's as good as you all say.

can you guys recommend some good slider sets?

thanks
