A solid game of hoops.
User Rating: 8.6 | College Hoops 2K6 X360
I would like to start off by saying that this game should have at least received the same rating from Gamespot as the ones for Xbox and PS2. I know this is the same game but, just because it came out later doesn't mean it is worse. I have no problem with it being a little late because it came out before March Madness which is when most people start getting really into college basketball. The graphics are good and the gameplay is good. It could have been great it they would have made the shooting more consistent and tightened the passing up a bit. I find my players passing it to people way down the court when I just wanted them to give it to the guy next to them. Also, even when I changed the sliders a bit so the shooting would be a bit better, my best 3 shooter (92 overall) missed 3 or 4 in a row at the most critical time. I do shoot a ton of 3's with this team because they have little to no inside presence but they always seem to miss 3's at the worst times. I ran into a similar problem with NBA 2K6 with inconsistent/unrealistic shooting.
I really think this is pretty much the same game as NBA 2K6 but the reason I am giving this a lower score is because of the lack of effort to change anything. They delayed shipment and still didn't really do anything. For example, the crowds are pathetic! They stand up and sit down for no reason, and when the chants are going they don't do anything different. Why not have them clap with the chant or something? That would have been so cool if they would have made the crowd interact with the game more and the stuff going on. That is one thing that NBA Live did that totally took the game experience to a new level. I still think that College Hoops deserves the 8.6 that I am rating it but it could have easily been in the 9's had it done a couple more things. Oh well, I still enjoy the game a lot.
