GamerVision: NCAA Basketball 09 Review

Overall, NCAA Basketball 09 feels a lot like NBA Live 09 with a few new additions, a coat of college-colored paint, and some slightly toned down visuals. Despite some technical glitches, it's a tight package from top to bottom. Obviously, since there is no other option this year, college hoops fans will have no choice but to pick up NCAA 09. Luckily, this year, that's not such a bad thing, as EA's game has taken a huge leap forward from last year. 2K has some catching up to do once it decides to re-enter the college b-ball arena again.

This topic will never go away. Way too much money earned for the little guys to not keep trying to get a slice of the pie.

If you aren't going to college on a scholarship, and EA is making big bucks off of you, why not?

this dude a rebounding monster. he's gonna go somewhere if he can get out of Minnesota. Would suck to see him go the same route as KG.

Danielmccue4759d ago

It's not really hard to be good at COD.

Jezuz4759d ago

Rly? Can you get 100% accuracy with a desert eagle on every shot without a miss? Since it's not so hard

KDubyah4759d ago

With the amount of campers in Call of Duty..
Yeah, I'm sure someone could if they wanted to.

Jezuz4759d ago

i don't like COD but, are there really campers every match ? I used to play BO and MW2 but i don't see campers every match. Don't make up BS and shrug it off as a fact

TheLastGuardian20104759d ago

To me people who say "oh I play COD" seems so generic. Yes, in a way COD has made gamers more streamlined, instead of the nerd who was the loser.

It'd be more impressive if he said, "oh I'm a huge Red Dead Redemption fan, or I love playing Bioshock. Or, oh yeah I just picked up Portal 2."

Cod is just meh. Those are wanna be gamers.

DanSolo4759d ago

lol how does playing Cod make someone a wanna be gamer?

I got bored of Cod and don't bother playing it anymore... but it is no less a game then any other game!

People need to stop hating Cod just the same as the Cod addicts need to stop loving it so much. It has slipped in recent years and there are much better games out... but it is an ok game, just nothing more than that!

nevin14759d ago

@ evrfighter KG won a championship. so im sure Love will leave minnesota if resulted to a ring.

@ TheLastGuardian2010 lol. so you decide whats a game or not? also, COD is a big franchise so Love saying he's good at it is impressive.

TheLastGuardian20104759d ago

What I'm saying is that Cod is more like a shooting fest competition. I can't tell you how many times people say in my school "Yeah, I play BlackOps. But that's it. Don't even need my 360/ps3 except for that."

Yes cod is a game. But to me it's on the same level as Madden, or any of the other sports titles. It's has become less about the narrative, the characters, the atmosphere, etc.

If he said yeah I like Alan Wake, or I love Heavy Rain, that's WAY different. That's saying you play a game for the narrative. With cod, your just saying you compete with your friends...there's a difference imo.

nevin14759d ago

I really have to disagree with your statement. So your saying games that focus more on narration, characters and atmosphere are more of a game than Madden and COD? hmm Heavy Rain is not even a game by most people standards which I agree with.

Also, going back to the Kevin Love video, he mentioned he plays 2K11so that could indicate he's mostly a sports gamer. so holding.his own in COD is impressive. he's showing his range/versatility. .

TreMillz4759d ago (Edited 4759d ago )

wtf dude you realize this man is a pro athlete and his life is hectic with going to practice, workout and personal matters. Probably only knows mainstream games like CoD and 2K11. it doesnt have to be AW or HR to be impressive

Maybe he didn't give out his gamertag because he doesn't want people to find out he sucks at COD. lol jk

DarkSpawnClone4818d ago (Edited 4818d ago )

I wish you got more for Prestige then extra classes ect. dosen't seem worth it to me i Prestige once or twice in most cods just for extra weapon slot or if i get really bored .. i really don't think it's anything special imo
