2.0 out of 5 stars Great To Rent, Sorry To Buy, November 30, 2001

By	Roy Ingle "The Seeking Disciple" (Augusta, GA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I bought this game hoping for a solid showing from 989 sports on this year's NCAA basketball edition. The graphics were incrediable and the crowd noise is loud! With over 300 college teams to choose from, you can spend many hours trying to take that mid-major team to the top.

The drawbacks are many! First, it was too easy! I played with South Carolina and opened with Duke. I beat them easily and the Devils were the best team on the game. I took the Gamecocks and went undefeated (with South Carolina!). I easily won the NCAA tournament.

Second, 989 would do well to follow in the footsteps of EA Sports NCAA Football 2002 (excellent game) and put the names of the players instead of the traditional numbers. I got real excited when I saw you could recruit on Final Four and then was dissapointed with the recruiting being just numbers without names (unlike EA's Football game).

Thirdly, the annoucers are terrible! You can't hear them when the crowd noise is up (even if you turn the annoucers wide open). Unlike EA Sports, the 989 annoucers repeat themselves over and over.

Fourth, the 3 point play is outright fantasy league. You can hit as many as 25 3 pointers a game. I hit 33 with South Carolina in the championship game! Even on the Senior level play, you can easily hit 3 pointers and free throws.

Buy another game. Rent this one.

2.0 out of 5 stars I played it once and no more, January 17, 2002

By A Customer

I bought this game because I love college sports and thought a college basketball game would be great. I played NCAA Football 2002 which was perfect. So I thought it would have some resemblance to the college greatness of NCAA Football 2002 (I love that game). After 1 shot you will realize you can easily nail 3 point shots with a 7 foot center. The graphics are horrible, the players move like Super Nintendo, and worst of all they don't even have the real players numbers (which they do in ncaa football). The recruiting is horrible and so is the rest of the game. Save your money, don't buy it.

1.0 out of 5 stars bush league!, November 6, 2002

By	Carl D. Foggey (Schweinfurt, Germany) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This game is absolute garage! The only reason why I kept it longer than three hours was that I was exactly interested in the career mode were you choose job offers from different schools after each season. It's sad that 989 didn't have an option to move to the pros because who would what to play a game as boring as this one for any extended amount of time! I agree with everyone who gave this game the pathetic one star rating it deserves. I had more fun playing "Bulls v.s. Blazers"!
