Alright, I haven't played an EA basketball game since probably NBA Live 02 or something, so it's been a while. I'll start by saying this is not a EA vs. 2k thing so please don't anybody take it in that direction. But I absolutely loved 2k8 and am trying to see what EA has to offer this year, so it is purely a frame of reference thing. I am strictly a franchise/dynasty guy when it comes to sports games, so all my questions are based on that.

1. Do the teams (CPU) actually play to their style or do they all seem to be a run-n-gun team? That was my biggest complaint about NBA Live, granted it was 6 years ago; everybody seemed like a fast breaking team and didn't really play to their real life style.

2. Does your style of play change based on your recruiting? If I'm playing as So. Illinois (a half-court, defensive team) and I recruit guys that can jump out of the gym, does my style change to more of an up-tempo style or does it stay the same? What about the CPU teams, do they change as well? How are you penalized for playing outside of your teams style?

3. What is the presentation like? I thought the pre-season show and selection Sunday shows in 2k8 really added to the college feel of the game. Does NCAA 09 have anything along those lines? Are they going to let us import songs and chants ala NCAA football 09?

I'll probably think of more later...

Thanks for taking the time to answer questions!!!
