(More customer reviews)If you are a big-time college basketball fan like myself, getting this game is a no-brainer. Sure, 2K Sports pushed the release date back almost two months from it's original release date. And sure, the game came out about a week before Selection Sunday and the NCAA Tournament festivities. But despite those facts, this game delivers in more ways than one. The graphics look great, and no, the players don't look exactly as they do in real life. But, this is a college game, not an NBA game, and it would take loads of time to perfect that.
The game contains all the normal modes that 2K Sports has had in the last several years. You can simply go right into a game from the main menu and choose your favorite team to play with. All Division I teams are included in the game which gives a wide variety of teams to choose from. It also contains classic teams from the past which are always fun if you want to change things up a little bit. The Pontiac Tournament Mode is also included where you can play through a tournament without first playing the regular season. The brackets are also customizable which gives you the power to set-up the matchups of your choice.
In my opinion, the greatest mode on the game is of course the Legacy Mode. 2K has made some great improvements to this mode involving recruiting. You can begin recruiting players as early as their freshman year in high school which makes for an absolutely great experience while recruiting. In the Legacy Mode, you can simply participate in an Open Legacy where you can choose any team of your choice, or you can participate in a Career Legacy. In the Career Legacy, you begin at the bottom of the coaching ladder and choose a team from the lower level of Division I Basketball. There are many teams to choose from which is also a plus. Playing through a season can be filled with ups and downs, just like a regular season in college basketball. This is very realistic, even more so than it has been in the past.
Perhaps a noticable change in this year's version is offensively. Unlike past versions, you now can have the option of using 8 plays while playing the game. In the past, you could only call four during the game. Also it seems 2K has emphasized the true college game which makes offense much more difficult. You must pass the ball and look for open shots in order to succeed in each game. While some people who love to play an up-tempo style make look at this as a negative, you can still run up and down the floor but it isn't a dunkfest all the time.
While many people compare this game to NBA 2K6, college fans will enjoy this more than it's NBA counterpart. If you love college basketball, don't let the late release date prevent you from buying this game. It is worth the $59.99 even if it is towards the end of the season.
