I haven't. What happened to the 2K sports one? That one was much better.

I don't think they are making it... which is terrible, I may have to play EA's... in which case, I'll be pissed...

ea bought the rights to it and 2k didnt want to pay a ridiculous price to keep the college game. 2k's basketball game is way better then ea's game.

I know Fyrebyrd picked it up and immediately texted me and seemed pi$$ed off because they still have the uniforms from 2006. Apparently other schools in our conference have had their Uni's updated basically every year except for BU.

I bet you were wondering about gameplay but that was the first thing he said to me.

I agree whole heartedly. I do not like EA's college basketball game but I really did like 2k's. Too bad money drives everything these days.

I own EA's latest NBA live 2010, but have only played a few times. If anyone would like to play on-line sometime then let me know...

The 2K game was much more fun, not only because of the game engine and gameply when playing a game of BB, but also the arena's, the level of depth in the Legacy mode, and the much more realistic recruiting. Recruiting is very hard in it. In the EA's games it seems like there are blue chippers everywhere for the taking and any kid with a bad rep(a premadona etc. ) is easy for a smaller school to get. I can be going to final 4's with small schools in 3 seasons on EA's game, but with 2K's you have to get to a big school b4 you can land more than one 4 star recruit or a 5 star it seems.

EA really screwed the consumer by forcing 2K out of most of the sports games.

I really loved the 2K games. 2k6 or 2k7 was the last one, which I still have. I tried to play the EA one last year and it was awful... I will say with a smaller school you can get mega recruits, you just have to be an awesome coach first. I had a coaching career where I started at Colgate, worked them into annual conference champs/tourney cinderellas. Took a promotion to Utah St, who I took to the NCAA 3 times, and won once after landing 5-stars in 3 straight years. Then took a job at Louisville and found that way too easy, kicked tail for 2 years before settling into a career job at Bradley. Bradley wasn't as easy as Louisville but I pulled down at least 1 5-star recruit every season, and had a #1 overall recruiting class after getting Peoria's own 5-star #1 overall nationally rated point guard. Won the NCAA twice and then just kinda stopped playing. Here's to Coach Les turning the real NCAA into a video game.

I got the game for Christmas, here is Bradley's roster and ratings:

Starters
C#54 74
PF#21 69
SF#24 74
SG #2 77
PG #5 75

Reserves:

PG#23 75 I guess CR is a point guard?
SF#13 71 probably uses TB's number from last year
PG#1 77
PF#44 74
C#41 68
SG#25 66
PG#0 65
SG#32 60
PG#3 61 I think this is Charonn since it's a freshman w/same height and weight
SG#4 61

low ratings for TB and AW but other than that not bad. Oh and MK is missing
BU is a B rating with B+ offense and a B defense rating
Most school are around a B in the Valley, most around B to A- is the Big Ten

I haven't tried it out much yet, but I'll tell you how I like it!

I have owned this game since it came out. The most irritating thing to me is EA does CONSTANT stat and appearance updates if you get online and Bradley has never seen anything come from it. The numbers and stats for our players are still WAY off (No MK, TB wrong number, CR a PG, AW a TERRIBLE 3pt shooter, Eddren Mccain is basically white in the game as well).

My overally gameplay rating is pretty low too. Some things happen way to often (easy steals, blocks, ridiculous physics movements). The only reason I keep the game is to play buddies online.

I'm guessing this game will be sold soon then after your most recent string of losses to me and another one of our buddies.

This is spot on. I just got it on Thursday and was quite disappointed in the gameplay. However, I just upgraded from a PS2 to a PS3 on Thursday and am still giddy over the drastically improved graphics. The actual broadcast of the game on either CBS or ESPN is pretty sweet...although the commentary is drab and repetitive as usual.

I downloaded the rosters from the EA database and changed Ned into MK (sorry Ned). I put my own personal touch on the statistics but went overboard as usual and suddenly have a team that is A- across the board.

I also must add that I am very impressed with the Dynasty mode. It is a MASSIVE upgrade from PS2 and I look forward to playing around with it quite a bit.

I forgot to add that it I believe it's almost appalling how terribly other things are done in this game. The statpacks often flash in the game and the things read just terribly wrong or completely incoherent things. And cmon, since when does a team have 6 timeouts a game in college basketball.

And yet....I still own it...

I have only played a total of 4 games so I am still oblivious to most of the major flaws. I did notice that whenever it would say something like "11-2 Bradley run in the last xxx" it would never be close to the right timing. And I still don't understand how you properly play on-ball defense. In the PS2 versions, you simply held the R3 button down and you closely guarded the guy, but I can't seem to stay in front of anyone anymore.
