It was the first and only basketball franchise I played to date and I have to say I was pretty impressed. But NCAA March Madness 08 looked so cool and I hope NCAA Basketball 09 is even better.

I used to play MM every year and was always disappointed. I switched to 2k two years back and loved it. I really hope Ncaa Basketball on Ps3 will be realistic, but I'm not expecting much.

You know what would make this game is if they had something like college football, like campus legend. Where you start out in highschool and work for a scholarship. That would make any college basketball game from a 7.5 to a 10.0 I have a filling that EA is gona step up and create one hell of a game!

That being said, I have been much more satisfied with the 2K product for the last few years, so I am sad to see it go. What bothers me is that EA has another uncontested sports arena. While being uncontested alone doesn't necessarily bring about a poor product, I feel that a lack of competition can hinder a company/series. Take the Rock Band / Guitar Hero "feud" for example. These are two companies competing for the same core audience (roughly) and it is forcing both sides to bring their "A" game with various new modes and innovations. All the while, the consumer (that would be us) comes out a winner because we reap the benefits of their competition. I agree with Badger Boy21 when he states that EA doesn't set out to create any sub-par games. However, without a true challenge to step up to, it is hard to imagine having as much pressure to get the absolute best out of their abilities.
