Thoughts on College Hoops 2K8
I received my copy of College Hoops 2K8 on Friday and have been playing it quite a bit since. I have mixed emotions when it comes to laying out my impressions of 2K8. It really is an excellent game but there are certain aspects which are have caused me a great deal of frustration. The majority of the time I've spent playing has come through online games so that is something to consider. I think some of those things may not be as much of an issue when playing the CPU, however I play the ma...

Questions about NFL Tour or March Madness 08?
I am working on putting together some questions for a March Madness 08 producer interview coming up which I plan on sending in tomorrow.

(Thanks to those who have made suggestions. The list for March Madness has been sent in) I should also have the opportunity to get some que...

March Madness 08 release date move and reaction to the demo
March Madness 08 will officially hit stores on Tuesday December 11th.

Now retailers have adjusted the release to the 11th and it appears to have settled there for good. As I reported earlier the game will also have a reduced price of $50. The demo that came out a few days ago has brought about a lot of critic...

Thoughts on the March Madness 08 demo and videos
After playing through the demo a few more times my impressions of it are below. I've also recorded the full demo played through two times and added those videos for everyone to watch. Ever since the info on March Madness 08 started coming out they've been pushing the idea of how they slowed the game speed down. That concerned me heading into the demo because it almost felt as if they were conditioning people for it so that it wouldn't be such a major shock in how different the game was go...

All about March Madness 08 Dynamic Post Moves
One of the biggest improvements to the March Madness series this year is the Dynamic Post Play. A new producer blog with a gameplay video from IGN and a video breakdown of the feature by Billy Donovan recently came out to go over it in more detail. The producer blog can be found here. It basically just expands upon what is talked about by Billy Donovan in the video that demonstrates the feature. Everything about the Dynamic Post Play sounds great, especially having options on the defen...

College Hoops 2K8 conference call summary
Yesterday I had the opportunity to sit in on a conference call relating to College Hoops 2K8 with representatives of various sites. The game's producer Zach Timmerman fielded questions and spoke to the new features and improvements to 2K8 as well as the general direction of the franchise.
