NCAA Basketball 09 - A Second Opinion

Re: NCAA Basketball 09 - A Second Opinion

Damn son, didn't you get enough from the first round countryboy? Your fairy-like comeback is barely worthy of my time, but for my amusement I'm going to say this once. If you even think that EA is compareable to 2k than that's almost as big of a joke as your job, which probably involves stroking a shaft... FAGGGG!!!

Can you show me where I said that EA was better than 2k? Go ahead, I'll wait.

And I'm the fagg? I'm not the one having these fantasies about another man swinging from or stroking a dick.

No he was calling you a bundle of sticks.

Now me I personally do not understand the joke, I mean what is so funny about a bundle of sticks?

How has this adolescent boy not been banned yet?

As easily as "feel" that this game is a great representation of college hoops, I respectfully disagreed. I felt that this article pointed out what you "felt" made this a great game. I said I wasn't impressed with the demo. Your review is a heck of a lot more glowing than what I came away from trying the demo. The controls are clunky, the atmosphere is average at best. I agree that the playcalling is awesome, but that doesn't make a college basketball game. You agree that the game is 2-3 years behind where it should be and you give it kudos for that? I think the review is a bit too glossy, period.

Before its said, no, I haven't bought a Madden since the exclusive. I haven't bought a MLB 2k game since the exclusive. I bought NBA 2k8 and FiFa 08. I pay for good games, not so-so games. This college game is not good, its just so-so.


Good review, though. I just don't see what you see however.

I like the review, but I have a few things to say.

The gameplay, isn't that great. There's a few glitches here and there, my main one, is passing.

When I use the direct passing, and I want to go right up and shoot it, it seems that it will pass to circle or square every time. I have to wait a second for the direct passing to ware off then I shoot. I've lost two late games because of it. I had a wide open player out for a three, down by two, so I hit R1, then square, and when I hit circle to shoot, he attempts a cross court pass to my SG, but when it gets there, time runs out and I lose. I mean, come on.

I haven't had this happen yet. Not to sound like a smartass or anything, but are you letting go of the R1 button?

I run a lot of motion offense where players come off screens and I use the direct passing and have no issues getting the shot off quickly. Maybe I am missing something or misunderstanding your issue.

Yeah I am letting go.

I just played a game, and it happened twice. Both on fast breaks, I kicked it out to my SF for the 3 and he passed it to the SG, blowing the score both times.

I made sure I let go of R1 both times, and it still happened.

Maybe it's my controller, or it's something with PS3, idk. I might try and just use regular passing when I'm in that situation...

Would you rather the reviewer write about how someone else "felt" about the game?

[elprez98]

He posted a review. I disagree with it. What's the problem?

Re: NCAA Basketball 09 - A Second Opinion

NCAA Basketball 09 is not a good game of basketball....animations are weird, player models are too skinny, ball physics are bad...this is exactly what I expected from this game....luckily they put out a demo so I didn't have to waste $60 on it first.... there's no way that the developers at EA can look at this game and feel that this is what basketball should look like...they just know that not too much of an effort needs to be put into this game because once again, it's the only college hoops game out...way to put out another quality product EA.....

good review made it very fair and unbiased but this games still not worth the price tag but its definitely better than march madness im definitely gonna check it out next year in the mean time ill play NBA 2k9

considering where the game has been, I'd say its a good game from that standpoint. Is it better than 2k8? Thats for each individual gamer to decide. Is it perfect? Absolutely not, but its a good game that finally, finally, has a foundation to build upon.
