I thought this was for impressions. Not to find out overall ratings. These threads are going to get really long very fast. Let's not let this happen.


Mods you can delete this. I just wanted to say that. Sorry. Please back on topic of IMPRESSIONS ONLY.

With that being said. CB what's the first impression of the game play?

Re: Official NCAA Basketball Impressions thread

haven't played yet, still editing UofL's roster. I agree, please don't ask ratings questions in here. I'll be happy to answer most anything else.

One thing I hope they fix next year is the naming players. Its cool that they have a database of last names that are in the game, but its slow to scroll through. Also, when you edit the last name, it always ask if you want to use a name in the database or make up your own. Very annoying.

Re: Official NCAA Basketball Impressions thread

Well fired up the game, a little dissapointed in the fact that ND has a generic stadium...AGAIN.

I really like how the team runs their offense sets though, I feel like if I play good defense, I can force them into a bad shot. Also, the spacing is very nicely done, there is room to run your offense , create and distribute.........

So far the atmosphere has been pretty decent, the crowd has been loud and consistent........Presentation seems too be on par with last years game though..

Re: Official NCAA Basketball Impressions thread

Would you say the retail is exactly the same as the demo in terms of game play?

Re: Official NCAA Basketball Impressions thread

Is there still the lag in the edit player feature? Live's edit player was really slow and it took a couple of seconds for the player to load.

Hope they fixed it. I'll help edit some players but, if it's not fixed then forget it.

for those wondering, if any were, you can turn Auto Subs on.

I didn't play Live so I have nothing to compare it to, but yes, its more annoying than it should be to edit players.

Re: Official NCAA Basketball Impressions thread

Can anyone tell me if the neutral sites in the NCAA Tournament are generic or authentic. I remeber way back in the MM days the courts would just have a different coored paint area and everything else would be the same.

I would say its pretty close to the demo. Nothing really jumps out, other than the animations seems a little smoother. The commentary is pretty basic, and if I hear " up and in" one more time from Nessler......off they go. In one half, I must have heard that line 8 times.

Re: Official NCAA Basketball Impressions thread

For those upset with the dark arenas, they have included a game brightness and contrast slider to help out. Thankfully they did, because it looked like Freedom Hall was running on half power.

Also, the letter for Big East in the paint at the Hall is ugly looking and there is no Denny Crum court signature on the court.
