Retail Version do they let you know what happened when a whistle blows? Demo there was no indication of who the ball went out of bounds on and etc

no and its freaking annoying. You have to look to the ref to see what happened, and even then...

I finished a 20 minute half vs Oakland and was up 34-18 at the break. I went on a 20-0 run for the last 8 minutes. The game is damn fun.

When you edit a player does it give them a black silhouette? I know they have a face for them but, when you edited someone last year they blacked out there face and gave them a silhouette.

Which answers my only question I was going to ask: "Is the game fun?"
That's all I'm looking for. I want to sit and play and have some serious fun. So the answer is yes?..

its extremely fun. No its not perfect, but the game is damn fun and challenging. This game will easily take me up to when the Show launches.

And to answer your other question, I didn't see any black silhouettes or anything after editing the player.

T-Will may not look like T-Will right now, but he sure plays like him.

EA SPORTS World: T Will dunk

SICK!!! What do the Tshirts look like when you wear the alt unis? Do they have the right colors. Red unis += red Tshirts, White unis = white Tshirts, Black well you get the picture.

the t-shirts look like what you stated, but I'll double check in a few.

Does the case mention anything about HD install size?

# 34 Bumble14 @ 11/18/08 12:43 PM

Do you have the ability of playing in preseason tourneys when you edit your schedule in dynasty?

Just finished playing TJdasportsguy online, he was N.Carolina and I was ND. A lot of fun, and was as fluid as possible. No hiccups or weird glitches, and was a lot of fun. It played like he was sitting in livingroom with me, wich is a nice change.

# 37 countryboy @ 11/18/08 01:00 PM

Ok, the player editor is really, really, really annoying. You can only select from 10 different complexions and then you select from various head models, thats it. No adding your own facial hair, or hair style in general. Very annoying and almost not worth the effort.

# 38 USF_Guy @ 11/18/08 01:00 PM

I'm still on the fence with this game. One of my biggest gripes, after reading some reviews, was the atmosphere.

How's the atmopshere in this game. One thing that pissed me off in the demo was the home crowd doing to OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH chant while their hometeam was on offense. You dont do that chant when your team has the ball! EA got it right with NCAA football 09 but not in NCAA Basketball? WTF?

Aside from that, are there a lot of team specific chants, fight songs?

# 39 Skyboxer @ 11/18/08 01:05 PM

Ok a question that is being asked in a different thread: Does shot release timing affect anything or is it totally based of of ratings?

# 40 Scoop 24 @ 11/18/08 01:07 PM

just picked it up.. its installing
