Anyone play new College Hoops 2K8 game yet?

[PantherObserver]

If anyone has played this yet, just wondering if they put the McLeod Center in the game? I remember this game was discussed last year, and they still had us playing in the Dome.

And is the game worth the money or not?

I got the game for XBOX 360. The don't have us playing the Dome anymore, but the McLeod Center doesn't look that great.

As far as the game goes I think it is really good. The best part about the game is when you make it shot it actually shows the net fly up like it does in real life. They have UNI's roster pretty good as well, although I don't agree with a lot of their ratings, but that can be edited.

I have always like this game better than 'March Madness' so I'm not real familiar with that game, plus it doesn't come out for a few more weeks. But I definitly think it's worth the purchase if you like last years game. Not too many changes, but enough to justify the upgrade.

TIP: Go to practice mode to figure out how to shoot the 3! I played my brother the first game and we were a combined 1-27 on 3's, haha. We're gotten better, but each player has a different release so it's somewhat tricky to figure out.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!

It really is. I remember playing "Double Dribble" on Nintendo when it first came out. They've really come along way!

Double Dribble? Wow.



Terrific. We were the proud owners of this game back when I was a wee lad.

I blew my soph year in Bender playing that game. Damn roomate of mine would get on a run of dunks....and if you recall it was a slow motion 5-6 frame dunk....so you really had to suffer through it.

We broke more than a few controllers after pitching them at the TV.

Ahhh, the good ol' days.

Got to run.....kids are screaming.

I like the game. I don't have a 360, but it only took me one game to get used to. If you leave Viet, Brown, Josten, etc open for 3, it's definitely good. This was on the hardest difficulty.

I didn't have too many issues with the players. My friend played as Syracuse, Iowa State, Iowa,and a few others and all the games except my first time were competitive and I won a few.

Does the McLeod Center look even close to what it really looks like? Is the court at least right?

Re: Anyone play new College Hoops 2K8 game yet?

Ok thats cool because the valley doesn't get near the respect it deserves just because its loaded with parity everyones balanced.

the unmissable fadeaway three from the upper corner....awesome.

The south bleachers look right, but there aren't as many rows. The rest of the seats look more like the Dome with goofy entrances. Don't recall the north side, but I'm sure it was wrong.

The court looks good. It actually says "Robert J. McCoy Court" on it. I thought that was pretty cool. Like I said earlier, don't think the rest of the arena was that great. But looking at other venues too, they weren't right on either.

Egleseder and Coleman are great inside. I still am struggling hitting from long range though!

They made Kerwin pretty good at taking it to the hoop, but I don't recall him having a very good rating. They didn't have Culliver in the game either which I figured they would.

I think I've already played 100 games, I can't put it down!
