Pretty Dam Good

Overall this is a good game that is worth your money. The graphics are very good even on a non HD TV. Another good positive about the game is that freshmen can get better over the years, unlike march madness where they stay at the same thing all the time. The cons are the text being hard to read, like the 9's and 8's and 6's. Lay-ups are constientily missed even when they are open. Recruiting can be difficult like jballa said, but it is more realistic than march madness where you can get almost every recruit if you want.
All in all this is a good purchase

this game is great. Graphics are good, legacy mode is fun and it has crazy dunks. but they miss many contested layups that they would make in real life. kind of hard to read numbers like stats. Recruiting is stupid. If youre not duke or mich st then you wont have a high chance at getting all americans. The all americans are at 100% going to your school but they decline your scholarship and go to some other school. This can be unrealistic at times but it is worth the money

If you like basketball at the college level, this game does it better than any game has ever done.
I personally can't stop playing this game. I own many of the other popular titles out but still always play this. online and offline.
2kshare always you do update all the players names. You can also share other files from users.
The all american training challenge really teaches you all the finer points in the game.
The graphics, sound, and arenas make you feel the college basketball atmosphere like no other game before it.
Great game and Great Value for your money.

Got the game and within 10 minutes was playing a game with real team rosters. Teams are complete and very accurate. Y2K Share is AWSOME!!! Graphics are solid, I'm sure the 2009 version will be even more realistic. Gameplay was rvery solid. I thought the controls were easy once I figured out what was what. Scores were realistic. Game can be easily customized to fit anyones personal preferences. I'm very happy.

I purchased this game and as soon as you start playing, you notice that graphics are just awesome. The player movements are more realistic than ever and the depth of the legacy mode is impressive. However, the recruiting mode maybe a little cumbersome with is its realism. If you want a next gen title, get this game and you will not be sorry!!!

2k8 is an awesome college game. In this years game, you can get the real NCAA rosters using the new feature called 2k share. The graphics and gameplay are awesome, and the legacy mode is very fun to play with your favorite college team(s). 2k8 this year is a very good game.
