Fix Oregon's Mac Court! Its great and all, but I can tell that it was rushed after last years contest thing. You guys missed a ton of little details that kill the thing.
First off, I was disappointed that the official Oregon font was only used on the jerseys. It would be very easy to turn the fonts into the official font. Just make the E's have a top left corner, and the U's have a bottom left. ALSO, the text in the game that says "The Pit" inside the paint is waaaaaaaay too small. You can see in this picture that "The Pit" takes up almost the whole paint area, while in the game it doesn't even take up half.
*Authenic Arenas for all teams
* Online Dynasty
* Better rim physics
* Better animations
* More FT routines

I agree with the majority of the posts in here. Dynasty Mode and Customization need to be improved. I also wouldn't mind seeing a "Campus Legend" type mode (a la College Football 09) where it takes your player through the high school playoffs and at the end, you can see what schools offer u a scholarship.
Other than that, Im confident the Devs have enough information to really make this a great game next year. :-)[Reply]

GAMEPLAY
Increase offensive rebounding
Improve analog passing (should be able to point in general direction with L-stick)
Names under CPU player with ball at all times
Improve ball physics
Fix the "high arch is always a make" on jumpshots
Long rebounds
Lose ball fouls, deadball fouls, over the back, illegal screens,flagrant fouls, technical fouls (maybe something similar to what baseball games do, if there is a questionable call have a cutscene to the coach where you can press a button to increase the intensity of your argument. If you get T'd up or tossed it will either give your team a boost or hurt them).
On-the-fly subs that show fatigue, also the ability use situational subs from on-the-fly menu
TV/Media timeouts (adds to realistic fatigue)
Ability to chose when you want to press in coach settings (after a made basket, after a made FT, rarely, desperation) See 2K8
Find a way to incorporate traveling into the game and not just via user error. Maybe a footwork slider or have the offensive awr/ability slider determine this. If I'm dribbling with speed burst and try to come to a quick stop, have me drag my pivot foot sometimes. If I'm trying to do post moves constantly with some scrub big man, have me travel on occasion. You already do offensive fouls very well in the post, some traveling would be awesome to see in there. Incorporating this into layups and things like that would be very tough I imagine, but it'd be nice to see an attempt as no basketball game has ever gotten this right
ANIMATIONS
Improve/tighten up current animations
Expand signature shot database (should be able to import all sig-shots from Live '10)
More FT routines
Subs walking to the scorer's table to check in
Improve net animation on made shot (still looks a little funky, it is perfect in 2K)
FEATURES
Unlockable alternate jerseys and classic teams
Put All-Time teams back in the game, as well as other annual teams (1998 Kentucky, 2000 Michigan State, 1998 and 1995 North Carolina, etc)
Create-a-school
Ability to edit a school, including their court (see 2K8)
Practice mode
Create-a-play
DYNASTY
Less 5-star recruits (40 at the most)
Add generic/fake tournaments for preseason tourneys not in the game (see 2K8)
Let us pick any area for any game (neutral or otherwise)
Let us play any game in the dynasty, even if it's not our user-team
Export dynasty team feature
ROSTERS
Greatly improve roster editing and management for default rosters. Cut/delete players, move them to other teams, be able to edit class, redshirt players, mark them as transfers, etc. This makes dynasties much more enjoyable. For example, if I can redshirt a guy who is sitting out this season, he will be eligible after one year in my dynasty just like IRL.
Make the rosters sortable by any attribute.
Include a player overview when a guy is highlighted on a roster, saying name, height, weight year, hometown and a headshot.
Give each player tendency ratings. This allows us roster editors to make the game play more realistically on an individual basis.
Let us edit signature shots/jump shots. Again, see 2K8
Improve ratings and accuracy of rosters. This is better than MM08, but there is no way Blue Ribbon was used for every team in the game. Some low-majors are completely fictional. Some high-majors have incorrect years (which wouldn't be an issue if we can edit class next year).
Clean up the classic teams. Use OS to your advantage, we are coming out with classic roster projects that have tons of corrections from the default rosters. Several teams are completely fake in terms of number, height, weight, appearance and year. We are correcting ALL OF THIS FOR YOU! Well, except for year/class because we can't. Download our projects and please incorporate these corrections into NCAA '10! There is no excuse for classic teams to be a mess next year.
GRAPHICS
Add tons of player accessories
- Black socks
- Add color options for current wristbands. (black, white, team, team 2)
- Knee pads/braces (black, white, team, team 2)
- Jumper's Knee wraps (black, white, team, team 2)
- Full length arm sleeves (black, white, team, team 2)
- Elbow pads/braces (black, white, team, team 2)
- Tattoos on players in the default roster
Add the conference patch on the shorts or jersey (eg: Big East logo on UConn's shorts)
Complete home and away accessories, not just sneakers
Go back to the MM08 stye of selecting sneakers (thumbnail of each sneaker), it takes a while to go through each shoe and let it load just to preview it in NCAA09.
Have players wear warmups in the pregame cutscene.
Open up editing of the face for each player, not just preset faces/hair/etc
Allow us to put all/any style of T-shirts on classic teams
PRESENTATION
ESPN overlays during games
Please put in the ESPN College basketball music at the start of games and even the graphic/intro that we see on TV every night, it is very cool and many gamers would love it.
If you are ranked in the Top 25, show it on the score overlay throughout the game, not just the opening overlay
Pop-up of all subs entering the game at once, the one at a time thing in NCAA09 is poor.
Show cyber Dicky V and Nessler before the game and/or at halftime.
TV timeouts where it fades to black and announcers say "we'll be right back from Chapel Hill" or wherever.
Cheerleaders/guys mopping the floor during timeouts (see 2K8)
Increase name database and have commentators say players' names more often.
Show cutscenes of the fans/crowd
More cutscenes in general, show the coach after a bad turnover or forced shot.
Real-time stat updates on bottom line for every play. If a guy scores a bucket for his 18th point, flash "Jones: 18 pts" on the bottom line. Same with all stats, rebounds, blocks, assists. This really helps you stay in tune with what's going on, who you need to stop on the other team, who needs to stop shooting on your team, etc (See 2K8).
The biggest thing is simple: customization. Let us customize as much as possible, even if it's not realistic. It's our game, we pay $60 for it so if we want to play every single game for 20 years in a dynasty at Madison Square Garden then let us. If we want to start a UNC dynasty and play every Duke game and make them lose on purpose to try and get Coach K fired then let us. Customization is the key these days and what made CH2K8 so great off-the-court.
This list is as good as it gets! If you guys can implement even HALF of what he mentioned, this game becomes so much better... Perhaps the best basketball game of all-time. Customization is a must, I don't see why we can't edit simple things such as a player's class... Even inside of a dynasty. Players redshirt and that option is not in the game, but if we could at least edit class, we could rectify that.
Print ehh's post out and just go from there. Or perhaps just hire him!

Something needs to be done for the offense against the zone. Right now they just stand along the perimeter, never try to penetrate and just pass it over the top resulting in turnovers almost every time.

IN GAME INJURIES!!!! This is so simple they could it fix it in a quick 5 minute patch!

I wish this game could be just like College Hoops 2k8. I mean in this game, players move with no finesse, post up and its a charge, 3 point shooters have limited range beyond the arc, etc

How about having a preseason show like 2ksports did and a Selection show Jay Bilas,Hubert Davis, Rece Davis and so on also have the player models like 2ksports. Also while playing have real history of the team and real stats of the player in the season like having the dickie v talk about the players.Have the crowd get crazy.And the history of the teams in the selection show and the NIT.Real halftime show and stats also during halftime see other games and have a weekly show like on college hoops 2k8 with different highlights. In game records,team records,coaching records and so on,and little more spacing on offence and not having the cpu block every jump shot or when you pump fake the cpu can still block you.When it come down to champiopnship week talk about the bubble teams whos in who out and have Joe Luardi get talking about the brackets. And please make the dunks and the jumpshots and playing defence real and that the cpu doesn't make every shot when they are open because in real life that doesn't happen and also stop this you are up by 26 point with 1:23 on the clock the cpu makes every shot and you miss every shot. And have with they use for Nba Live 360 mode or living roster players get hurt and bad grade or kicked of team to make it real.But keep the the uptempo,halfcourt,and balance tempo and keep the coaches in the game.A new freethrow method.Also have sports ILL or Espn the mag have articles on teams during the yearlike you did on the ncaa football that year.Still keep focus player of the game.Also have dynasty mode .There is still alot of stuff that we that play want in this game because we do pay $60 for the game and I think we deserve it but you can do game add ons like they did for grand theif auto for more feature.

* Simply add real ft shooting %. I don't care about free-throw system, it's not a big deal. But most of the sim gamers care about ft %.
* Blocking/Challenging shots. This needs a big overhaul. Not every great defender is a great shot blocker. It could be nice if players put a hand on shooters face, they can't go for a block every time. Believe me, it will open up mid range game.
* Passing needs a big overhaul as well. For years we have been waiting for inaccurate passes. It's like automatic unless you go for a hail mary pass
* Rebounding. Not only increase the amount offensive rebounds, also add some nice animations for rebounding. Players battling down for rebounds and maybe some loose ball situations.
* Better overall AI for loose ball situations. Hustle plays.
* Size has to much importance when it comes to rebounding. I want too see some decent rebounding numbers coming from GUARDS. There should be some "long" rebounds.
* Charge system. I know there are excessive amount of charge calls in college bball. But players should actually take a charge, by falling down. It could be nice to see players to ''play it up''.
* Chance to upload box scores.
* More depth for ratings. I mean there should be more categories.
With all said, it's pretty hard to make a ''perfect'' game. But it's important fix major issues like better CPU ball movement against zone defense, better and more responsive rebounding, accurate ratings, improved sim engine & stats. These are deal breakers for NCAA 09.
