Gametap Top 25 and position players Kansas: 88 Top 20 Point Guards
1. UCLA PG #2: 91 Overrated/Underrated: Darren Collison (UCLA #2) might be tied as the highest rated point guard, but it's amazing to me that his speed rating is only a 90 (B). The kid is a straight-up blur on the court. Also of note is Mayo's 83. Why do I have the feeling that this polarizing player is going to be considered either the most over- or underrated player in the game? Top 20 Shooting Guards
1. Tennessee SG #5: 92 Overrated/Underrated: Chase Budinger (Arizona SG #34) is only an 83 and should be a lot higher. Chris Lofton (Tennessee #5) is a true leader out on the court for the Volunteers, and his three-point stroke is rated a 95 in the game, so defenders beware. It's amazing that Kentucky didn't even try to recruit him, especially after Lofton was named Mr. Basketball in the state his senior year in high school.  OJ takes it to the hoop against UCLA. Top 20 Small Forwards
1. Texas Tech SF #3: 87 Overrated/Underrated: Coach Knight has a real baller in Martin Zeno (Texas Tech #3). 91 dunk, 94 layup, and 83 clutch ratings make him a keeper, but that 67 rating from three-point range means you keep him inside the arc. Keep an eye out for Lawrence Hill (Stanford #15). Kid is a matchup problem for most teams, as he can post up smaller forwards while taking bigger defenders off the dribble or lighting them up from three-point range. Top 20 Power Forwards
1. North Carolina PF #50: 88 Overrated/Underrated: Michael Beasley (Kansas State #30) is a beast, and probably should have the highest rating of any of the freshmen. I actually thought Brook Lopez (Stanford #11) would have been higher, but considering he's suspended for academic issues, it's a gift to Stanford gamers that you'll be able to play as him throughout your season. Top 20 Centers
1. Georgetown C #55: 89
Overrated/Underrated: Kevin Love (UCLA #42) gets some love with
an 82 as UCLA just keeps recruiting some of the best players around.
Roy Hibbert is my favorite player in the game, though, as he just takes
up so much space and swats so many shots down low, Georgetown is a
force to be reckoned with.

PlayVision is a great idea... Most often, in basketball games, even after I've memorized a few plays, I divert back to Y-ball. This should help, plus also help teach my son some fundementals better than drawing X's and O's can. I'm definitely on board the bandwagon for this game!

2K Sports Unveils More New Features in College Hoops 2K8
PlayVision and Play Designer unveiled as innovative new features New York, NY - October 30, 2007 - 2K Sports, the sports publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), announced more exciting new features for College Hoops 2K8, the #1 selling college basketball game last year* and the #1 rated college basketball game five years running**. New to this year's edition of the 2K Sports' College Hoops series is PlayVision, allowing gamers to execute every play on the court to perfection. PlayVision draws out each play step-by-step, detailing where on the court to pass, move, and watch for a screen. Each step of the play is illustrated with a different graphic, making plays easy to execute with accuracy and precision. PlayVision also works when playing with two or more people on the same team by indicating where the gamers need to set up their players to execute the play. "Among many other exciting new features this year, we focused on making plays easier to execute while also adding the ability to create your own types of plays. PlayVision and Play Designer work hand-in-hand to allow gamers to learn the fundamental movements of basketball plays and in turn enable users to get a much more realistic college basketball experience," said Greg Thomas, President of Visual Concepts, a 2K Sports studio. With the all new Play Designer, gamers can create their own plays from beginning to end and customize their playbook. Gamers can determine where their players begin a play, tell each player what to do using numerous moves, and then bring in various types of defenses to test their plays against. Once created in Play Designer, any play can be executed during a game and seen on the court with PlayVision. College Hoops 2K8, the best selling college basketball video game this past year* and best rated college basketball game for five years running**, returns this year with the deepest feature enhancements in the history of the franchise, advanced next generation visuals and countless new animations to deliver the most innovative and authentic college basketball video game experience to date. College Hoops 2K8 will be available this fall for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. |

Exactly and they even take it a step farther and get the lighting of arena right. The darker arenas look dark and the lighter arenas light. They have been doing that since the first CH2K. 2ksports does a much better job with the little details. |

I just like playing with Northridge here in So. Cal since it's the only gym I've been in recently. I love how they have damn near everyone's court exactly right. Gotta love authenticity.

Outside of Tech and OU I can't really name many players. I used to be like Dick Vitale and could name the starting 5 for Montana State.

Yeah, this game cannot get here soon enough, even though I can only name like two college basketball players.

I cannot wait for this game! I love that you have the ability to download custom rosters.

Hands on at Gamespot - Video
Passing has been changed up in College Hoops 2K8. Now, in addition to the default passing system, you can select which kinds of passes you want to make by pressing the left bumper (on the Xbox 360) and a face button. You hit X for chest pass, A for bounce pass, Y for lob, and B for leading pass, which is really only effective when your target player is in motion. Getting used to these new passes will take some time, but certain moves are sure to be deadly weapons when used properly, such as the ability to bounce the ball underneath a tight defender, or to toss it over the hands of an outstretched opponent. Isomotion controls will also be controlled with the face buttons: B for crossover, Y for spin, and the shoulder buttons for hesitation moves. The presentation in 2K8 has gotten some overhauls as well. First, big-time venues such as Kentucky's Rupp Arena have been built from the ground up with improvements to signage and more accurate placement of student sections. The game includes a bunch of new player animations, particularly on the defensive side, and new camera angles during stoppages in play add some nice variety to the game. Naturally, the college basketball game comes after 2K's NBA series, and one of the nice things about that is the team behind the college game can take the best features from 2K and tweak or improve them for the college game. Remember the hot spots feature in 2K8--a cell-phone signal-like meter that indicates the favorable spots on the floor for your players to shoot from? That's been tweaked a bit in College Hoops 2K8 to simply indicate a player's proficiency at shooting from a certain range, no matter where he is on the floor. One of the underrated features in 2K8 has to be the new 2K Share function. Here, you can create custom rosters, game-settings files, playbooks, legacy files, and even custom chants you've created with the built-in chant creator--then you save them and share them with your friends. We'll be counting down the hours until someone gets that first full NCAA roster online, which we can then use to get all the real player names in the game. You'll be able to search for files by gamertag and even rate files so that the best files will be readily available to everyone. Now that I really like. No more having to worry about a memory card for rosters (my datel transfer kit had crapped out) - hopefully EA follows suit with NCAA09. Say that you're getting owned by your archrival for the first half. You can't get your fast break together, you're getting punished on the offensive boards, and your opponent is draining threes on you all day long. You head into halftime in 2K8 and need to make some adjustments, right? This year, at halftime, you'll be presented with a laundry list of things you've done right (and wrong) during the first half. Most, if not all of the entries on the list can be addressed with game-plan slider adjustments. For example, if you're not getting enough offensive rebounds, you pump up the crash-boards slider; you can move up the defensive-pressure slider to get some hands in your opponent's face at the 3-point line; and you can pump up the fast-break slider to generate more chances on the break. Each time the computer decides that you've addressed a concern, it will check it off the adjustments list. Of course, you can game-plan all you want, but the execution will still be all up to you. Another worthy addition! Looking like March Madness will be limited to playing the demo. This one is looking good. |
