Great Game

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.

Outstanding Game

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

Best College Basketball Game I've Played

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.

not good

after seeing ther would be a college basketball game for the ps3, i was in awe, waiting to get it. there was a long delay when i firs pre ordered the game from the ogame store here on amazon. it arrived fast (great service ogame) well the game doesnt look that good to me. i have nba07, nba2k7 and now i got this because i LOVE and i repeat LOVE basketball games. well, the game is all hype.
-the first thing i noticed is that the arenas done even look like the real arenas at all. trust me, i have seen plenty of them and the details are very minimal. duke's home court looks the worst of them all last time i played the game. NOT GOOD!!!
- the player details were average because they dont look at all like the real players on the real team. for example, OSU (my favorite team) greg odon looks verry different in real life than in the game. he was the big man in the center like in real life, but some of the players didnt look good at all. i remember some of the players had a darker skin color than it should be and one player who was supposed to be white was a black guy. NOT GOOD!!! i was expecting there to be a little more detail there. note that the team uniforms need more detail as well. if you look at the back of the OSU jerseys, you can see that the stripe on the back of the jerey goes through the players number. its not like that in real life and i have a OSU jersey to prove it if you dont believe me.
- now it gets down to the gameplay. its the exact same as nba2k7. no complaints there. it seems to me that it is a little easier to make as shot in the college game, but trust me on this every time you score a basket, the other team will come right back, no matter what difficulty you set it on.
- i know there are some extra features in the game. i have never fiddled around with them, but i doubt i ever will.
- there is that stupid motion sensing free throw routine in this game just like there is in the nba2k7 game. like the nba game, making a free throw is impossible and this isnt a joke. my friend can do it sometimes but even the best free throw shooters are hard to make with.
- it seems that the framerate is pretty bad the game tends to slow down alot and the picture seems to be a little fuzzy at times. NOT GOOD!!! the ps3 i know is way more powerful than the 360 and it should definately have a better framerate.
OVERALL
- 2k sports, you really screwed this game up. the 360 version is better and i play march madness on the 360 and it is way better. 2k sports takes the 360 game and transfers it onto the ps3 disc and adds the motion sensing free throws. 2k, you should step it up a notch and make a completely different game for the ps3. its a completely different system than the 360 and each system should deserve their own version of the game.
-i am taking this game to the local game store over my next college break and trading it in for some other games or cash. im very disappointed in the effort put into this game (mainly because its exactly the same as the 360) and if i ever consider buying a 2k college hoops game again next year, there better be a big improvement.

Needs better Dunks

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.
