i dont really understand what has happened to the EA basketball games. the only games i really play are sports games and the occasional shooter (gears and cod). I think that ea did a great job with ncaa football and madden this year. they are both much improved and in my opinion the best in each series to date. however both basketball titles have went down hill. I would not recommend this game, while their are some good qualities (game tempo, coaches, old school teams) the overall game play and graphics leave much to be desired.
i think that the ps2 versions were much better and that the 2K basketball games are the best basketball sims available. i hope that something willl be done about the ea monopoly so that all game producers will have to bring their A game for all games. it really is a downer that their is not more competition in gaming.

You can tell this is the only college basketball game this year and EA Sports knew they didn't have to compete with anyone. This is, by far, the worst NCAA basketball game in years. There are glitches, bad recruiting, bad gameplay, and bad simulation. The 2009 Final 4 at the end of my first season was Alabama A&M, Indiana State, New Mexico, & North Carolina A&T. Enough said. What a disappointment!
