NCAA Basketball or College Hoops 2k8?

[LHaze30]

I was thinking about picking up one of these games. I like to recruit my players and then watch my teams games play out. Which game would be better for this? I would like to hear peoples opinions before I buy one of them. Let me know the pros and cons of each. Thanks for your help!!!

I'm not gonna lie, if you're interested in recruiting/watching your guys play it out, I would go with College Hoops 2k8. Its "Legacy" Mode is great for that, if you do a career you have to start from one of the 30 worst teams in the nation, or you can pick any team in an open legacy. 2k8's legacy mode is very deep, and very fun once you get many years into it.

but...

NCAA Basketball 09 has great gameplay once you get the right sliders (plays pretty well without them as well) it also has a dynasty mode, but it is geared toward playing the games (so is CH2k8, but there is a "coach game option).

In 2008, I prefered CH2k8, but now for the 08-09 season, I would choose NCAA BBall 09.

2K8, esp since it's less than $10.

NCAA basketball 09 for the win, even with lacking animations. Everything else in this game is great!

What types of things are in the 2k8 dynasty mode that aren't in the NCAA mode? Does the computer do a good job of recruiting in both games? Is it easy to get the top ranked recruiting class every year? It sounds like there is a problem with playing zone defense in the NCAA game. Is that also a problem in the 2k8 game? How is the commentary on each? Are the graphics much better on NCAA? Just trying to get a better idea of some things before I buy one.

I would recommend buying both if you're a big college basketball fan. If not, go with College Hoops 2K8.

NCAA 09's graphics, commentary, and user-controlled gameplay are better, but 2K8's are not bad either. 2K8 has a deeper Dynasty Mode with the ABL (summer league) and a few more recruiting and customization options.

GO with 2K8 without a doubt. NCAA Baskeball is not a very good game the dyansty is far inferior. The gameplay is also. There are not post moves or anything like that in NCAA 09. 2K8 has so many recruiting option, while NCAA harkens back to PS2 college games a decade ago

Do you even have this game, because the Post-Game is one of the strengths of this game over College Hoops, recruiting in this game has more options, including going to a game of the HS player, sending them packages, selecting what view points you can offer individual players based on their strengths to your school and a lot more in recruiting.

Maybe you should actually own this game, before constantly posting junk like this!
