That's stuff is good to hear. Can't wait to see what EA sports does next year with the presentation in their sports games.

I honestly hope they add nothing to in-game presentation next year. That way they can focus their efforts on customization, player individualism, and dynasty mode.

It seems like the team can only focus on improving one or two major aspects of the game per year, but the improvements they make are awesome.

Re: NCAA BASKETBALL IMPRESSIONS THREAD PS3/360

CB,
Glad you got the game. I have a couple of questions:

1. Do you notice a lot of differentiation between players on your team or does everyone pretty much play the same? I'm especially concerned about bench guys being just as good as starters.

2. How is the ESPN commentary compared to the CBS commentary?

3. Just so I understand it, there's no indicator at all when the CPU has the ball? It doesn't even list a position? Man, that's tough especially if you are playing a team you are not familiar with.

4. How deep are the playbooks for each team and do teams actually play to their strengths? I know motion is a big part of the game this year, but I want to know if the run-and-gun teams play the way they should.

Thanks for the reply!

New here.. but Im curious about player progression in dynasty. I heard a lot about too many 5 star recruits in NCAA 09, but did 09 also have a progression problem? AND if so, has it been adjusted?

The game JUST came out, how could it have been fixed already?

And a question, does the game have North Dakota and/or North Dakota State? Just wondering it'd be awesome to play as the school I'm going to go to or the one right down the interstate

Hey CB and Hitch,

Do the stat overlays come onto the screen and slower than in the demo? In the demo I could barely even read who the Top 25 were?

Re: NCAA BASKETBALL IMPRESSIONS THREAD PS3/360

can you adjust schedules in the game??? Add games to a teams' existing schedule? Have the authentic schedules been released?

Also is the USF Sun Dome in the game lol

</td> <td style="background-image: url(/vBulletin/images/quotes/00.gif); width: 100%; height: 1px;" width="100%"> Hey man, turns out there was an update yesterday. Not sure how much the rosters got affected by it. I noticed that 2 UK players went up and down 1 point each overall. You can also select the option to "download changes in appearance" which is something I didn't know EA was doing this year.

Update brought real authentic schedules too. So after the update...any Dynasty you start will in fact have the correct schedules. Sorry for misleading you a few days ago, but didn't know the update would fix it.
</td></tr></tbody></table>

Wow. That is potentially awesome if it doesn't screw with player names and if EA puts a lot of work into it. It feels kind of like an "I'll believe it when I see it" though.

Why wouldn't EA have touted this stuff more before release?

I dont think you understood me, maybe i phrased it wrong. But if there was a problem in 09 with progression has it been fixed? I know the game JUST came out, which is why i would like to know. i understand sim stats and recruiting have been fixed but not progression

Oh sorry, I read your question wrong then.
I'm still on the fence, I get paid Friday, so I'm going to see how the impressions are over the next couple of days and try to gauge if I'll like it or not. Knowing how I am, I'll end up getting it anyway just because I love college basketball(even though I've played the tar out of 2k8 and still do) If it plays at least half decent, I don't care about classic teams or if player X doesn't have a tatoo. It just needs to play well, be fun and have good presentation.

One of the only downsides to the presentation. The starting lineups and stuff do move pretty fast. Haven't seen many top 25 polls, as I have not actually played a game in dynasty mode so i don't know how quick those will roll through. But the pregame part does move kind of quick. But the individual stats for the current game are there long enough to read.

Re: NCAA BASKETBALL IMPRESSIONS THREAD PS3/360

Okay, so whats different from last year

sim stats and new announcers

Is that really it? Other than that, this game is NBA Live lite?

Same jumpers again, no new animations, same contact shots, no new tendencies, or anything of that matter?

Just that its a college game?

Seriously, other than stat fixes which i halfway care about, this is really all that was done?
