I am thinking about buying NCAA basketball 09?

[WeMadeIt17]

I was wondering if anyone on here has played the game and if so how is it? I was thinking about going and getting it but i am not sure if i should let me know what you guys think of the game

I liked it, but its very basic on the court. you either take the three or drive into the shot blocker for a layup, and all the animations are the same.

I would say its good, not great. I gamefly'd it so I enjoyed it...not totally sure i would feel the same way if i had spent the full 60 bucks onit.

Forget that, get Halo Wars.

Forget that, get Halo Wars.

Played the demo, already have dawn of war 2 so all set with getting it with halo skins.

thought the demo was ok, a solid RTS, but since im not a huge halo guy, didn't impress me overly much. I could see how if you liked halo it would be very enjoyable though.

I live and breath Halo. Its not the greatest RTS ever, but I have to say it's solid enough for people that like this format.

i traded in a bunch of games today and had a gift card...

so i purchased mlb 2k9, halo wars and hawx...those should keep me busy.

also, ncaa basketball sucks...it has no personality and doesn't feel like anything more than an arcade game.  not worth the money at all.

i actually just bought this game a couple days ago.  so far it's been alright - the gameplay doesn't compare to that of nba 2k9 (maybe that has something to do with me starting a franchise with santa clara), but your choices are limited for college basketball to say the least, haha.

if it's about the gameplay, just stick with nba 2k9; but if you're really dying to play at the college level like i am/was, then you'll probably be satisfied with the purchase.

there are some guys at operationsports.com that have updated rosters for last year's 2k8 college hoops game.  they're still a work in progress, but they got all the names changed, and last i saw they were working on updated player attributes.

if you have xbox live you can grab the online file...

ncaa bball 09 is just not fun and plays like live which i dont like
