[77ncaachamps]

I guess this is the first year they're doing it. They using the EA Sport 09 College Basketball game to determine their pre-season rankings.

It's an hour long show and I missed if MU was on it. They're going to show it in SF again on 11/16.

It showed today (11/2) in Chicago and Green Bay, and it's supposed to show in Milwaukee on 11/15 @ 8:00 p.m. on WMKE.

Here's the nationwide TV schedule:

WTF, how did they pick those home arenas... seriously though Penn? St Joes? NC State? Minnesota?? Some of these schools have a hard time drawing fans how in the world are they considered a better home court than Marquette??????

Man, you are preaching to the choir.

I can see Minnesota's unique court, but a tough venue?

I can even see St. Joe's...

and maybe NC State was a tough place to play...20 YEARS AGO.

I know it's probably a little OT, but I'm never gonna play EAs College Basketball game.  It's so sad they bought the rights to it...2k had a great product there.

+1 The 2k games were amazing...

Eh. I always felt that every College Sports game has very little effort put into it. They are the previous year's NBA game graphics and controls with college teams. It always put a bad taste in my mouth that such little effort was put into the games.

Back in '05/'06, it seemed like the 2k college hoops games were more standalone, and were great. They kept my interest for months. I haven't bought one in a while, so I'm not sure about the current offerings.

All I play these days is NCAA Football '08 on my regular old XBox anyway, so I'm out of touch with newer games.

I strictly play college hoops 2k8 and I can say it might be the top sports game that I have ever played.  There is just so much attention to detail and realistic gameplay that I don't think march madness will be able to match for at least a few years.
