    Shooting fouls work great, I upped it too much the first time I tested it and there were a ton of whistles.

    Thanks
    Max out OFF reb for human and CPU and zero out DEF rebound for both sides as well. I was able to get four offensive rebounds in one possession last night.

      Re: NCAA Basketball 09 Impressions

      How is recruiting? I've seen some mixed opinions on it. I've seen some say that it's way too random and you can land 4 & 5-star guys with any school. Then I've had a few people tell me that they are struggling to get 5-star guys with top programs. Can someone provide me with some analysis on recruiting and dynasty play?

      Also, how many tournaments like the ones going on this week and next are on the game? Thanks.

        Ok i played the game and I cant stand the ball physics. The ball is like a ROCK. It's terrible.

        I also cant stand the pre-animations when inbounding the ball.

        I love the graphics and the sound is ok but these two things are my biggest gripes. I also am so use to the 2k hoops controls that i push the wrong buttons in the game so i need to get use to the new stuff.

          Just had a great double overtime game. Butler VS Indiana I was IU and number 51 nailed a 3 pointer with 2 seconds left to win 76-74
          I've never gotten more than 2 per game, and I have defensive rebound sliders set at zero and offensive rebounds set full.

          I don't think it can be fixed.

            Click the "crash the off. boards" option before the game starts and you'll get plenty.

                Have you adjusting your shooting sliders? If you haven't and both teams are still shooting 65% you're obv gonna have a lot less offensive boards. I've got the shooting sliders very low and both teams are in the 40% area most games so that leads to more rebounds.

                  the more I play this game, the more I enjoy and appreciate it. Damn its good.
                  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 :(

                    Man CB I want to go over to WalMart right now and pick this up. Just scared I am going to be unhappy with it. Gonna wait probably for a few more impressions, I am not so much looking for fun as much as I am looking for a sim game of B-ball. I love my sports games to be more sim than more arcade. Am happy that a lot are enjoying. Peace!!!!

                      JSKY what sim elements are you looking for ? like sim stats or what specifically gameplay wise are you hoping to get out of this title.

                        I'm in the same boat as you when it comes to sim and this game does a tremendous job of capturing the game of college basketball imo. CPU running plays, mixing up defenses, mixing up offenses, calling timeouts to stop runs, seemingly giving the ball to the guy with the hot hand, etc...

                        Is there something specific you're looking for?

                          I have not picked up game yet, still a little skeptical. There are only a few guys in these forums that I trust with "rating or reviewing a game", if you will, and cb is one. I'm starting to lean towards getting game tomorrow.

                          Anyway cb, I want Pitino back! I was at UK during his regime and it's just not the same.

                            Nothing in particular, I just didn't want to play a game where everyone plays the same, Centers bringing the ball up court w/sick crossover moves, or just straight run n gun. I wanted teams to play to their true to life counterparts. For the most part it seems to capture that from what I am hearing and B-ball is in my blood more so than Football. Been playing the game for over 30 years. I wanna play against Princeton and be backdoored to death and a serious halfcourt offense, then take on Memphis and get ran out the gym. These are the things I am looking for before I make my purchase. I know in CH2K8 you could get the players to pretty much look similar to themselves and is this possible in this game? Are the rosters gonna be all jacked up and no way to fix it? Peace!!!!

                              I'm with you on this one. I've put off buying the game for a few days now and I keep telling myself that I'll get it this weekend but something's holding me back. I had planned on picking it up after work tomorrow but now I'm getting cold feet about it all of the sudden. With Christmas coming up, I really hate to go out and spend $60+ on something that I'm so unsure about.

                              Aside from March Madness the past 2 years, I've picked up every single college basketball and football game on it's release day for the past 8 years. This one feels different though and I don't know why. I'm seeing all these encouraging impressions, mixed in with a few bad ones here and there but I just haven't been able to pull the trigger yet. Can someone give me some information on dynasty and recruiting, such as how realistic is the recruiting as far as 5-star guys going where they should be going and so forth, sim statistics, in season tournaments, and the rankings and tournament seedings. The videos I saw of the rankings and RPI looked pretty bad. How does it actually play out after a season? Any input would be great. Thanks.

                                I'm in the same boat crques. Something is holding me back. But like I said in an earlier post. The few guys that I trust in their views are having good things to say about this game. So I'm starting to break the grasp of the hold.
