Re: Official NCAA Basketball Impressions thread

Agreed.

There is quite a bit that they need to work on and tweak for next year, but the game is fun and the game is solid. They really need to focus on more little things in my opinion and they need to provide more options to the user when editing.

Do you play NBA 2K9 if so do you think this game is better then that. IMO 2K is the best basketball game made. Like I said before I was sent to the cell. I feel this game was rushed big time. But it is fun just missing so much that you would think would be in a game after all these years.

Thanks

Nope. Don't care all that much for professional basketball.

And if this game is rushed, then I can't wait to see how good the game will be when they take their time, because this game, imo, is pretty damn good.

Im going to have to ask you to stop talking about NBA 2k in the NCAA College basketball thread.

Re: Official NCAA Basketball Impressions thread

just played online vs some guy using Davidson and Curry is a beast he was hitting shots left and right finished the game with 29 points.. but this guy was shooting 3's crazy so needless to say it was easy to take and keep the lead cause i play a more efficient style offense. CB front line was serious on the glass think he had like 8 Offensive Rebs on me. he also has his post moves down to a tee. so the game vs him and Louisville was much more challenging than the guy using Davidson. needless to say both games where fun and LAG FREE.

Yeah I enjoyed the game as well. Scoop has some serious ball movement. He's like Magic Johnson out their at times with his finding the open man. He's also relentless when it comes to driving to the hole. He has some moves that gets himself open. And he can hit free throws down the stretch. I started fouling him to put him at the line, but he wouldn't crack under the pressure.

And I wouldn't say that I have my post moves down to a tee. Jennings couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from 3ft in lol.

Great game man. Looking forward to getting redemption in the near future.

Re: Official NCAA Basketball Impressions thread

I am seeing a lot of good under the boards battling for rebounds, and, as a result, I am seeing a sufficient number of offensive boards. I am also still seeing new animations, which are cool.

I think some of the player celebrations by visiting players that caused the crowd to boo in MM08 and MM07 are in the game, only without the +/- icons and an impact moment meter. I think having this, but behind the scenes is nice.

This game is smooth.

Here's food for thought: after playing for 2 days I have noticed that my big men want to get away from the vicinity of the basket too often at times. After thinking about it, I am wondering if this is a by-product of using a pro-game engine (Live 09). If so, that's another tweak they need to work on for 2010.

Re: Official NCAA Basketball Impressions thread

Could someone please tell me if the low post defense has improved over live 09?

Also, is it easier to stop fast break cheesers?

Re: NCAA Basketball 09 Impressions

The auto sub feature seems to be useless, I just turned it on for the first game and it left Thabeet in the game to with four first half fouls.

Re: NCAA Basketball 09 Impressions

Have you tried turning up the Fatigue effect slider?

[ehh]

Re: NCAA Basketball 09 Impressions

I haven't, but I don't see how that would effect the logic for foul trouble.

I noticed this as well today. Check your settings on Foul Out. For some reason I start a game with Foul out on and I looked into the settings after I started the game and the Foul outs were OFF and its grayed out. Maybe a glitch when messing with sliders.

Anyone else find this?
