***NCAA Basketball 09 Community Event Recap***(Ask questions)

What about pre-game lineup introductions?

I have always been a big 2k fan and am having to move to this as EA is the only game available now...


I just really hope I'm not disappointed...


If it helps answering me, my 2 fav things about 2k were the depth of the dynasty in being able to start at the small school and work your coach up the ladder, and the accuracy of the smaller conference teams....basically put, not everybody is BCS biased...

Tomba, Thank you for the great article. However, It appears to me that dynasties will be lacking this year. In the past when EA has something that they are proud of and want to "hype up" it's in every press release and every article. Now for some strange reason,we're getting little info on dynasties, weeks before the game is released. Now we learn that there's a disclosure statement where Tomba can only comment on certain aspects of the game. One can only conclude that there will be no online dynasties, no multi-team dynasties and a very watered down dynasty mode overall. But don't worry, they'll try to get it in the game next year.

I have also noticed that there is very little talk about dynasties, I hope they are just waiting to release all the details because i'm a dynasty guy and if that feature sucks, the game will probably suck for me as well.

I'm not familiar with this aspect of creating a game but when you employ a new game engine does that mean all the other modes have to be redone as well?

The dynasty mode wasn't terrible in MM08, it just paled in comparison to CH2K8. If they game play in NCAA09 is good and they have a similar dynasty from last year I'd be content.

They had the pre-game shoot around on March Madness 08. Not sure if they'd change that for 09.

Here is my question/comment

Personally i thought last yrs game was trash. i bought it..played for an hour and threw it on ebay..i hated just about every aspect of the gameplay.

for those who have played it how do you compare this yrs game to last yrs in terms of overall gameplay?

Honestly, it's not even close.
MM09 uses a new engine. MM08 used last gen engine.

In fact, they don't even want to use 'March Madness' anymore, so they ditched it.

I'm enjoying NBA Live, just to try something different this year, so I'm looking forward to NCAA too.

Is there any word on neutral sites? Like MSG, Georgia Dome, Staples Center.

one question,and forgive me if it was answered? the subs last season in mm08 you had to pause game to make them hopefully this year this is not the case?
