March Madness 08 full game #2

Here is another full game once again broken down into three videos. This matchup has the Oregon Ducks traveling to face the Washington Huskies. Varsity difficulty with 10 minute halves and default settings.

I’m not sure why but this one just seemed to flow better than the first. Even the game speed seemed a little quicker. I think you guys will notice the difference between the two. Part of it probably has to do with how I’m beginning to get more comfortable with the controls and the type of discipline needed to be successful. After the first game I was prepared to write about how it didn’t feel much if at all different from the demo but now I’m going to have to play some more before I make a determination one way or the other. I’m also planning on posting a video with the game speed slider turned up for comparison sake.

I wasn’t able to call any plays in this game which must’ve been some kind of glitch. You’ll see me pull up the plays but then they stick on the screen and don’t go away when I’d try and choose one. Didn’t have that problem in the first game.

Continue on to view the videos.

I don’t like being harsh anymore with games esp next gen ones as i have actually sat down with developers and most importantly game programmers recently and have a very new respect for what they do. BUT the tip is just uglyly(that even a word? probably not LOL) done. The ball automatically just drops either both sides in a triangular fashion so it looks horribly robotic.

I Cant believe people pay 50 to 60 bucks for this game.. you might as well just pop in the March Madness07 cause that game is atleast a little better then this trash

My question is why you think people that actually have a positive out look on things cares what you say. So you dont like the game. Who cares. Nobody. Why you need to come on here and bash a game makes no sense to me. Oh and for your comment on the play going coast to coast. Tell me you have never seen that happen in real life. If you have every played basketball you will know that that kind of play does and will happen sometimes. Maybe once a game. Oh wait it did just happen only once. Just so you know also. I have College Hoops and that kind of play also happens once in awhile. Bottom line is stop coming on bashing games u have no thought in buying.

because he has the right. it’s free speech. there shouldn’t be any other need…

i love the atmosphere the game gives off though. the gamplay has issues the way Nbalive 07 did which is bad. this is NOT the “nba Live 08″ year for march madness by any means

I think it looks ok. None of us have actually played the game. So to say it plays like crap or anything else is unfair IMO. I mean if someone likes it someone likes it. If they dont they dont. But, with that said I dont see why someone needs to bash a game just because they dont like it. Thats just my opinion. But hey, to each his own. No sweat of my sack.

from what I can tell the only extra jerseys are the ones that go along with the classic teams.

Are you asking me if I have college hoops 2k8? If so I do. And to me it plays like more of an NBA game. Its not a bad thing but, IMO thats what it plays like.

I was actually talking to Pasta but thanks for the reply. I think it plays very well, I love the atmosphere and everything to do with the “Gameplay”.
