Anybody who thinks this game is going to be decent is fooling themselves. EA+Exclusive License = Garbage Game.

There is no exclusive license involved. There is no competition because 2K walked away.

OK 2k has the exclusive baseball deal and they actual have competition but they still cant make a decent baseball game.

And its been said a million times 2k sports the company that can do nothing wrong walked away from college basketball cause of lack of money college hoops was producing.

Way to make your decision before you even try the game.
BTW, EA didn't ask for the exclusive licence, 2k dropped it.

More to the point, as i mentioned before, there is no exclusive license in this matter. 2K or any other company could decide tomorrow that they want to buy a NCAA Basketball license and release a licensed college basketball game.

All sounds good...but one question that a lot of us have asked and hasn't yet been answered is will the dynasty mode allow us to watch any game from any side's scheudle as a cpu v cpu game? For example, can we watch/play any game (like NCAA Football 09) or are we restricted to our selected side's games?

Would be a real shame if this wasn't incorporated, especially as it was in CHoops 2k8.

It's a big selling point for me and I'm sure others. Each to their own as they say.

We're all hoping for this. From what I read and seen so far I'm cautiously optimistic, and I haven't felt this way about an EA College Baskeball in a very long time.

I know they got a lot of quality feedback from the community day folks, but I hope they have been able to tune the game some more after observing some of the issues with the retail version of Live.

If they're smart, despite it being a different engine of course, they could also look at some of the issues with NBA 2k9, and see if there are the same kind of trouble areas in their game.

Maybe I just love college baskeball games so much that I'm drinking the kool-aide, but my gut is telling me that this could be the game with the fewest holes.

I really wish we had an "Ian" or "Adam" or "Simon" for this game, who could or would come here and interact with us during what is probably the very last stages of tuning. To get some more input on the last few tweaks would be great.

Oh man. What a coincidence.
