Namco NCAA College Basketball 2K3 X Box Sports Review

Overall Rating
 4 of 5

Price Paid:  $50.00 from Circuit City

Summary:
The first college hoops game Sega Sports made. It has all of the Division I teams (some schools' names are altered though), and provides a deep legacy mode, roster controls, and the stands are very interactive.

Summary:
This game is pathetic. I have never played any game in my life that is more frustrating than this one. I would stay away from this game, at least rent this before buying it. The general frame of the game is good but the gameplay just drags this game down to the sewer. Legacy mode is cool but you should be able to pick any school you want. The team I am currently using can't hit the broadside of a barn, but any team you play with you will get the same result.

Summary:
College basketball is here and Im estatic to be a part of it with this ncaa game from sega sports first of all this is my first college game basketball game on xbox. I loved the presentantions they had like when your teams is about to play this have this nice song and shows your college going head to head like colored bars for you school and they hit each other. The gameplay is diffrent from any other basketball game which sets it apart it has little nuances from 2k3 but it's a diffrent game slightly in the gameplay like the plays offensive and defensive and they got zones you can play they went as far to put some zone presses in it if you want. all I've played is season and quick game. It took me around a day to get used to the controls but it's a fun game that should have you playing for hours if you can. My only bad comment is that it's very hard to make three pointers you got really push and hold that button a certain time but the dunks are neat they have around 20 of them I seen back dunks front dunks, one hand slams and they got this cool feature where your guy can skip and dunk to the hop it's cool I didnt see this on 2k3. The players move gracefully and the crossover move is nice you use the left stick to maneuver your move better. the online play also makes this game great. Imagine playing your alma mater against some guy across the countrys. It's on heck of a showdown. although I would have liked them to make the loading screens better I can take it.

Summary:
John Steven,
There is a direct passing feature in the game. Once the game is about to tip-off, hit pause and use L or R trigger to go to the controller setup menu, then use the black or white button to choose the setup with icon passing. Once it's turned on you can use the Y button to pull up an icon above each player and pass to the player you want. The buttons are player specific so it's easy to pass to whatever position you want, even if they're off-screen.

Summary:
Great college atmosphere. Good graphics. Controls are the worst I have ever played.This is a fun game but the controls lose it a great ranking.
come on man put a direct passing option in the controls. I push to pass to the guy standing next to me on the 3 point arc and the stuppid guy passes or should I say hands the ball to the defender guarding him.
