It would be two different teams working on each game, and what kind of profits is the NCAA currently getting from a bball game??

The NCAA guys and NBA guys overlap. I'm sure some are even working on other products now.

It's not as simple as just assigning guys to do it without sacrificing other games.

And the NCAA Profits thing is on them. They shouldn't have been greedy. We'd still have 2 games.

Boggles my mind that 2K refuses to resurrect this franchise. Even if they decided to release it on a semi annual basis and basically re skin a previous version of NBA 2K, they would turn some type of profit. Look at the popularity of these mods, and even College Hoops 2K8 which is still running strong with updated rosters.

Hell, why not just include a separate disc with NBA2K and sell the package for $79.99. Then allow your My Player guy to start in college and work his way to the NBA.

There has to be a way to get another College Hoops game. Please 2K...what's it going to take?

It's going to take the NCAA to lower their asking price for the license I'm guessing Bubble. That is the reason I believe that they did not continue in the 1st place. Even EA with all the cash they have and no competition decided to stop making the product. Maybe a NCAA hoop product probably doesn't generate the same financial return as Football when u take into account the cost of the license and how many actual copies they sell. I doubt that college hoops 2k ever sold half as many copies as NCAA Football even in 2k's best sales year.

I would love to see another CH 2k as well, but given 2k's shaky financial footing with the long standing rumored take over's and layoffs I doubt if they are willing to shell out the cash for a license which may not help them firmly establish them economically and provide huge returns.

Too bad UCLA isn't in this mod, and that its just college teams playing nba style basketball. 4 quarters instead of 2 halves, nba shot clock etc. However it feels more like college with more turnoffs and more missed shots.

I think their is a market for college B-ball and Football. With how amazing 2k11 is.. If they make a college game.. that would make sense. financally. I know they stopped back when 2k8 was made, but the Ncaa wants revenue from the video game market, and with ea not renewing, this would be a perfect time for 2k to show the ncaa nba2k11, and say this we will create for you.. I would buy it.

It's ALWAYS like that here. A handful of guys say just sell the game with college rules and uni's and when it comes out - BOOM: "2k is nothing but a money hungry company with bug ridden games taking advantage of the consumer."

So this is just for the occasional exhibition mode game? I dont get it. Teams and players aside, you cant mod in the structure of a college basketball season into the game. You can't have an NCAA tournament, recruiting, you can't have fight songs or pretty much any college specific things like that.

Well, it's better to "Re-Skin" and complain than never to have "Re-Skinned" at all!! I for one will be completely happy with a CH2k12 with NBA 2k gameplay and CH2k8 dynasty. That's all I need!! Im still playing CH 2k8 just because of the thrill of recruiting, but the gameplay is soooooooooooooo far behind compared to NBA 2k11

I would pay $100 for that on a system

Re: NCAA Basketball 2K11 Beta Mod Available Now, Trailer Included (NLSC)

I am not going to say that this isn't a reskinned NBA 2K11 because literally that is exactly what this mod is. The only non-NBA part of this mod are the ratings which are directly copied from the CH 2k8 ratings system.

The last NCAA branded game to come out on PC was NCAA Basketball Final Four 97. I personally still play CH 2K8 on my 360 but dammit man, sometimes I just want to Flick Flick. lol.


Anyway, what I was hoping to ask what should I do to make NBA 2K11 play more like the college game? What sliders should I tweak, what ratings should I change, or what should I do with the coaching profiles? Does anyone know of a resource that can tell me what team runs what kind of plays?

Oh and Great job Jaosming and all others who contributed.... Hotness.

I Don't know whether to go crazy and talk about how excited I am to see this...or shrug my damn shoulders and stomp my feet like a damn 7 yr because it's not on PS3 and it's just a giant tease!

I guess I'll just droll over the mod and pout about it not being on PS3 or 360 no time soon thanks to the NCAA and those non mattering ex college players starting lawsuits...! (sigh)

Is the wiki rumor that there will be a College Hoops 2k12 True?

Czar, I know there is data to back your point, but (and perhaps it's because I grew up in a town where college basketball was/is king -- Syracuse) I still believe there is a market for college hoops gaming in this day and age ...

What I've been thinking would be nice to see is similar to what EA did a couple of years ago; release a March Madness bracket on XBL/PSN. With the NCAA having switched to the "generic" courts as seen in this vid, the developers wouldn't have to spend much time replicating that aspect of the game. That brings us to teams. Instead of doing 300-plus teams, you'd only have to focus on 68. Use the player model base from your NBA game, tweak the ratings and obviously, change the rules to college.

I'm sure this is something that is much easier said than done but I do think that if you released this for $14.99 that it would do well.

Again, this is coming from someone that's grown up in a town that loves its college hoops, so my perspective may be a little different, but I think it's at least worth looking into.
