        I figured (Wrongly) that player lock was like LIVE. However it is NOT IN TH F"N NCAA GAME. At least I can't see it.
        Say what you will but that is a killer for me. Game goes back tomorrow.
        Unbelievable.

            i won't be getting this if that's the case. i can't figure out why EA would leave this feature out. i can't stand playing as everyone on the team. ugh....

              Same here. I'm just going to take it back and play CHoops another year.

                it's a shame though, since the gameplay in the demo was so challenging and the tempo meter was well implemented. i enjoyed getting crushed if i didn't meet the three areas of focus and the tempo swung to the opponents direction. it really felt like college basketball. anyway, those that have it enjoy. i will probably rent it. i wish the devs would explain the rationale for not allowing the user to play this way.

                  if the worst gripe is the editing of players i'm goin to get this. i could care less if they look like real life. hell u don't even seen there faces for most of the game anyways. all i care is the game play is good.

                    Same here. I havent heard much about if the game plays good or not. The demo felt awesome to me if people are saying it plays the same way i dont understand the complaints. It seemed like an improvement over Live in the gameplay department which would be a good thing i would imagine?

                      its really a smoother version of live ......if you played the demo its about the same just a tad better..if you like live you will like this game. im enjoying this game quite a bit.

                        Do players play different? Individuality? Do the stars play like stars? What rating would you give it? Thanks fellows. Peace!!!!

                          No buy for me. Game actually sounds interesting....but without player customization this game just isn't for me.

                          Thanks for the info!

                              Thats tough for me to say in my limited time. I would say, yes they do, but maybe not as much as they should. I mean, even playing Oakland, I can see them feeding the ball to their hot player, who happened to be their star, but I don't know that he played any "differently" than anyone else.

                              I'm not sure that answered your question, but thats the best I can come up with right now.

                              As for a rating, again its early, but I'll give it an 8. The gameplay is tight, the dynasty mode is solid, though could be better/deeper, but the simplistic and lackluster editing tools really hamper the experience. The animations could also use some tweaking/polishing.

                              IMO, if you're a diehard college basketball fan, a true fan of the game, then pick it up. If you enjoyed the demo, pick it up. If you're looking for a game that is fun and challenging, pick it up.

                                Is there a clutch rating???? Like in 2K. Player with the highest clutch rating hits the big shots?
