The new All-American training challenge features 14 passing, shooting, and defensive drills played against former college hoops stars, including cover athlete Greg Oden, formally of the Ohio State Buckeyes. 'College Hoops 2K8' uses energetic crowds to influence the on-court action with the new 6th man meter, which increases with each successful shot and key play on defense. Hear the swish of the ball sinking in the net on the college court with this exciting title.

A simple “hold the button” system would have been fine.

To shoot free throws, you tilt the controller up and then down. There are an awful lot of putbacks, which seems to be a problem going all the way back to NBA 2K. In general, the players also seem large compared to the amount of space on the court. Without calling plays constantly, your players literally stand in place. The plays you can call on the fly are pretty hit and miss, and they don’t have much continuous motion. It seems like nobody can ever drive to the basket in a realistic way, yet you can still clumsily end up near the hoop and make a floater, which just feels lucky when it happens. You can use the right thumbstick for steals and putting your hands up, but it doesn’t work well like it does in later 2K games. The steal command is slow and awkward, often causing a foul. The jumpshot animation looks awkward, so it can be difficult to time right. With one certain play, I learned to sneak a pass to a guy under the basket and quickly flip it in, a play that would be stopped by any competent team. You may discover tricks that generate baskets, but they have little resemblance to actual basketball plays. When they bump into each other, they don’t absorb each other’s contact. The sound is solid, with an especially raucous crowd sound to help emphasize the game’s “sixth man” feature, giving the home team a boost at times. The graphics aren’t beautiful, but they are certainly very clear and make it easy to tell what’s going on. This is one of the few basketball games that I find easier to play with the TV-style sideline camera than with a vertical camera. One piece of logic this game gets right is the shooting percentages on jumpshots, and how the defense affects the likelihood of a shot going in. It’s a good challenge staying in good defensive position, and intuitive to react with a block or rebound command. It’s easy to get around, easy to pass, and easy to shoot.ĭefensive controls are pretty intuitive too. Of course, 2K continued its NBA games and has been putting EA to shame year after year for a while now. This is the second on PS3, and the last ever. Where it falls in the seriesĢK basketball started with NBA 2K, then added college installments with NCAA College Basketball 2K3 on PS2, Xbox, and GameCube.

The 2K series became the undisputed king of video basketball in time, but as far as college ball goes, I strongly prefer EA’s final offering. It’s 2K’s last college basketball game, and it’s often compared to EA’s last college basketball game, NCAA Basketball 10.

I am frankly shocked this game is remembered so fondly.
