Best basketball game for the college fan!!!!

Customer Rating:
This is the greatest college basketball game I have seen around. I just got it a few weeks ago, and it's hard for me to put down once I start playing. The gameplay/controls are reasonably easy, much like any other PS3 sports game/basketball game. They did a tremendous job getting the actual player names, coaches, and arenas for most of the NCAA conferences. Being born and raised near Carver Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, this gave me chills when I heard the chanting and saw all the black and gold. Gave me the feeling of being back at an Iowa game right away. The ability to play rivalries and conference games is great. With the price this is going for now online, it is a must have, even though the names are out of date. Pick this up now!!!

Needs better Dunks

Customer Rating:
The game is just Okay in my opinion. If there would have been more and better dunks I would have given it a higher score, other than that it is a great game, 2K is the best when it comes to sports games. If anyone is looking for a sports game I will probably always recommend 2K sports because they have never disappointed me and I have been playing 2K games ever since NBA 2K for the Dreamcast.

Outstanding Game

Customer Rating:
While I am not a HUGE basketball game fan, this game is quite immersive and a blast to play.

Great Game

Customer Rating:
If you are a fan of college basketball then you definitely will enjoy this game. As a Purdue University alumni, its quite enjoyable playing a game in authentic looking Mackey Arena, with coach Matt Painter, Purdue's mascot, cheerleaders, a crowd full of gold and black, the crowd chanting "Boiler Up", and the Purdue fight song blaring in the background. The graphics and audio are impressive and the learning curve wasn't bad as it only took me a few games to get my first victory. There is also a lot of customization available allowing you to create your own players and even your own team. I bought this game and Tiger Woods with my PS3 console and so far have only played Tiger Woods once as I much prefer to play College Hoops.

Best College Basketball Game I've Played

Customer Rating:
I felt like I had to write this review because of the extreme negativity of the previous review. I love College Hoops 2k7. While I haven't played the XBox version, I've played a number of PS2 college basketball games, and this has the best gameplay. I particularly like the free-throw system. It's similar to what they've attempted to do in previous years with the analog stick, but it's much easier to control. It is more difficult to get free throws on the hardest difficulty levels, but I still average 70-80%, which is a realistic free throw percentage. My biggest complaint is that there is not a terrible difference in difficulty levels. On the lowest levels you can essentially steal every inbounds pass, and even on the hardest it is not difficult to steal inbounds passes. It's nice that you can, but it's a little too easy. For a more in-depth review I recommend any of the usual sources (Gamespot, IGN, etc.), but I wanted to post this to say that I and my roommates thoroughly enjoy this game.
