Noticed that the patch now puts your favorite team's next game (real life) in the upper left on the campus hoops screen. Nice little touch.

No chance they added cpu names to the player who has the ball?

# 3 BigJim78 @ 11/26/08 07:43 AM

I wished they had all the early season tournaments in there like 2k did...

and IDK if they put the players' name under them, I didn't get a chance to play a game yet.

Nope, still no names under CPU

Anyone heading home early starting to feel under the weather?

I played a bit earlier and the schedules are authentic, but you don't have the option to customize the schedule to add any missing games.

I simmed one season and after the first season they give you a custom roster and the ability to customize it.

I'm about to boot up the PS3 for some more NCAA, I'll post a few more things later.

Can you check to see what they addressed in the dynasty mode? Thanks in advance

Not all of them.

# 11 BigJim78 @ 11/26/08 09:23 AM

All of them? Or just the 4 of 5 they included this year.

# 12 Scoop 24 @ 11/26/08 09:24 AM

they seems to have improved recruiting. no 4 stars guys ranked 700 in the nation.. and less high recruits with high interest in you.

It's still a mess, I started a dynasty and the Top 141 recruits in the country were 5-stars. IRL there are 25-35.

The authentic schedule is nice, if your team plays in a preseason tournament that isn't in NCAA09 then you simply aren't given any games to represent that. The UConn dynasty I just started does not have the Paradise Jam or any other tournament. Other than that UConn's schedule is spot on.

Classic team editing is nice, only gripe is that you cannot have an undershirt of any kind, that option is grayed out and I have no idea why.

I played 10 minutes of a game and the post play seemed a little better, the CPU was sharper but nothing too noticeable after only 10 minutes. My full court press didn't trap quite as often but I didn't see a huge difference there either.

How many of those 5-star recruits sign with smaller programs though?
