    I just noticed that on Kansas 08's classic roster they a player who's jersey number is "-1". Yes, negative one. That is special.

      Does Ole Miss have their arena on there or is it generic like it has been?

        Do we have a list of what arenas actually made the game? Or do we atleast know how many made the cut this year? Kinda suprised that The Pavillion is not in the game . I didn't expect all of the arenas or even has much as CH 2k8 had, but I thought that they would atleast have all the major ones.

          I'm pretty sure Nova had a generic arena in 2K8 too.

            Has anyone tried to install the game to the harddrive using the NXE to see if player editing loads faster? Didnt someone say there was some loading times in there...if not, just ignore me.

              I picked up the game last night and played one game. I was the Virginia Cavaliers at the Cincinatti Bearcats. I played 10 minutes halves on the veteran level. It was a fun game and I am pleased with the game. I did have to turn up the brightness in the game. At default it was a little to dark for my liking.

              Once the PS3 roster project is done I will start a dynasty.

                Really? I could have sworn it was in there.....oh well, my mistake. Do we have a list of how many authentic arenas are in the game?

                  I saw a couple of generic courts as well, I played at UNC-Ashville and at Fairfield last night and both had generic courts.

                  MLB - St Louis Cardinals

                    On 1080p HDTV (40") this game is a thing of beauty. I have not had to touch to brightness at all. The crowd that EA put into the game is tops.

                      Allow me to clarify. In CH2K8, Villanova's on-campus arena, The Pavilion, was in the game. The court was correct, but the arena itself didn't look much like The Pavilion. Still, Villanova played at an arena called The Pavilion that was a passable representative of our home court.

                      In NCAA 09, The Pavilion doesn't appear to even be in the game. We have the Wachovia Center as our home court in this game. It looks pretty accurate; however, we play exactly three games at the Wachovia Center this year. What a joke.

                          LOL

                          I was playing a game of North Dakota State vs South Dakota State(me) and I lost 97-64. They went 15-23 from 3pt range. It was insane. lol
                          I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                          I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

                            Gotta say, this game is VERY fun.

                            And, while just cosmetic... I LOVE how it starts you out on the playground... really gives off a campus feel.

                              Not to knock you or your post, but I'm just wondering how come so much detail was put into shoes when the face editing is so limited? Seems like they would focus more on appearance edits and less on what kind of shoes the guys are wearing. I would rather have a guy resemble who he is supposed to be while wearing some generic Pro-Tech Athletic shoes as opposed to having him look nothing like the player but rockin' some sweet *** Nike or Adidas footwear.
