    NCAA Basketball 09 - A Second Opinion

    I have been a College Hoops 2K fan since the inception of the series back on my PS2. As a huge fan of college basketball, I always loved how 2K was able to get the little things about the game right. I loved how they would include all the teams, all the fight songs, all the mascots, all the arenas, all the jerseys, and it didn't hurt that the game always played great.

    As the years progressed, the 2K engine started showing its age, and I became increasingly bored with the series up until College Hoops 2K8 was released last November. 2K8 was the pinnacle of college hoops gaming -- from the outstanding pregame analysis, to the weekly wrap up shows, to the incredibly deep gameplay mechanics, CH 2K8 was a college basketball fan's dream come true. Needless to say, I was crushed earlier this year when I heard that 2K would no longer be continuing the franchise that had left me wanting more after the release of 2K8.

      Completely agreed. The game is not perfect but I am surprised how solid the game is!

          Great review. As much flak as the game has been getting lately, it's nice to see that, despite its flaws, there are some good things to look forward to in NCAA Basketball '09.

            Nice write up. I feel like Ea still has a lot of work to do. 2K8 feels like another title that a few years from now some of us will still be really disappointed that EA hasn't managed to ecilpse it with something better.

              Nice review....i will probably pick this game up tomorrow. I am still continuing to read impressions and play the demo just to make sure....but the more I read, it seems like the good out wieghs the bad in regards to what is most important to me in a basketball video game.

                        That was a good review. People here get too caught up in the scores.

                            Great review. I wonder if you where able to get many if any offensive rebounds, if so how?
