NCAA Basketball 09: Set The Tempo

Pasta with the release right around the corner is there any word on other modes, like dynasty

same as 08 just faster ch2k8 still the king!

How is this really any different from manually setting your tempo/fast break settings in any other hoops game since the year 2000? Iin CH2K8 all you had to do to adjust tempo was to ratchet the on screen tempo/fast break meter down and slow the game down. When you wanted to run fast break you did the same thing.

All this really seems to be is a tempo meter instead of a tembo bar.

No online dynasty, no be a pro, no EASHL type club play, no all authentic arenas and jerseys= no buy.

Man i am so hyped up for this game. Although no Be A Pro mode, It looks great and they finally added coaches. Yes! But one thing is why are the players short soooooooo long?

signature ea for hyping up their games…………..at least alexguy96 is happy about it…………….just don’t put all ur hopes in one basket,man………………………im sure this game is going to be average w/o some of the modes peeps have been clamouring for in every sports game……………or it could above average at best with a more refined gameplay than live 09.

Looks cool. I’ll probably give it a look when it drops. I like the College B-ball atmosphere! Players do look a little skinny though.

Off topic though, Pasta, when does Fight Night Round 4 REALLY come out? I’ve seen THREE different release dates on various gamesites and one was even for December of 2009! Has the original date of March 2009 been pushed back as far as you know?

What’s with the double 3-point lines in the video?

Nevermind…I just read that they moved the men’s 3-pt line back to 20ft 9in. The old line will remain on the floor for women’s games which will still use the 19ft 9in line. From what I have read having 2 lines has caused some confusion for men’s and women’s teams alike. It will be interesting to see if both lines remain on all floors for the duration of the season, or if they will use temporary lines for men’s and women’s games alike.

Exactly! Another EA gimic just like the DNA feature in Live. It’s just another fancy name for something we could do for years now. Typical EA move. That said this game looks like it will better than Live. Maybe it’s because the college atmosphere puts you in the game unlike Live.[/quote]

Wow! I can’t wait to see how innovated 2K will be with College 2K9….wait, there won’t be one.[/quote]

I’m not knocking the game, it just needs another year of polish before we can start getting excited about it.

To the guy ripping EA, DNA works in Live, and it is one of the best features I have seen in a sports video game.

College Hoops 2k8 is the most complete college basketball title ever. It doesn’t matter that there will be no 2k9, it still has more features and depth to it than this years NCAA Basketball- that means I would much rather invest my time in the more complete game.

I’m anticipating next year will have everything CH2K8 had, plus online dynasty and an EASHL type create a recruit/school type feature. The game needs another year, and I almost wish EA would realize this, hold this years release back, and then release the finished game next year.

Can’t wait to hear the bitchin and moaning on thesemessage boards once this game ships about how this game wasn’t complete, and how you hate ea, blah blah.

I think the point is that there is a meter that measures the tempo of the GAME. If you tempo matches the game tempo, you will make more shots and turn the ball over less. It makes sense imo… but you are right about the lack of modes. No “be a pro” really sucks…. Is there anything cool to do online at all??

Not that I go and look for stuff like this, but how could you have “Be a PRO” on a college basketball game lol….jk i kno what you mean though

This game looks like garbage. Crappy graphics & player models, poor animations, no features, etc.

[quote comment="43343"]i can’t wait for this game because i love playing college basketball but i wish all games would put thease ideas into their game,if you could tell someone pasta we need thease things–how about haveing technical fouls in the game? the only ones i have ever seen are in live 09 with the player being to far away on d or whatever but i mean a technical from fouling someone hard on a drive to the basket,it’s in the game and EA s motto is it’s in the game but this isn’t.–how about sometimes players getting into a fight or shove each other? not like hockey or anything but this does happen in games–how about the bench players wearing warmups? how about the subs getting up off the bench to come into the game like 2k does? how about the coach comeing onto the floor doing a timeout to yell at the ref or one of his players? how about a coach like (bobby knight) getting mad and throwing a chair and getting a T ? anyone else could you add some more? please share.[/quote]

All the stuff you listed will never happen expect the players leaving the bench, NCAA won’t allow it in a video game that represents them just like a couple years back EA had to get rid of seen that had players running on the feild in NCAA 99 I think. Theres rules you have to fallow to making sports games.

When will you idiots realise that 2k sports the company that does no wroung decide why waste there time when there not making money off the college hoops series, I gotta give to EA i know damm well they werent selling more then college hoops and college hoops wasnt making that much money good knows how much they were making of the march madness series. Shot nba 2k9 there money cow was put out unfinished who knows how college hoops would have been like.[/quote]

1. Work on your english half of the stuff u wrote made no sence.
2. 90% of games that get put out need patches, NCAA 09 had a couple patches and Madden had a couple patches, NCAA Basketball will have patches because it wont even have real schedules so does that make it unfinished??

You Fail!

Idiots?? I loved 2k college series so did my friends. I will not be getting this game but to say were idiots shows how smart u are.[/quote]
Ok I wasnt even talking to you unless your nba2k btch or something I ve played both college hoops 2k6 and 2k8 and liked them both didnt love it. An 2k7 wasn’t worth my money. I just find it BS tht a company stops making a game because its not making money off it. An if your not gonna buy this game I could care less.

That whole post had nothing to do with peope who play or like college hoops.
