EAs NCAA 09 Basketball Game - Is It Worth Your Money?

NCAA 09 Basketball has been released last November 17, 2008 by EA to its eagerly awaiting fans. Is it everything it promises to be?

The Coach is Present!
Don't you think that the sidelines are painfully bare without the presence of a coach? Haven't you been entertained when you see a coach flying off the handle, jumping up and down, swearing, and maybe even scoring a technical foul? The presence of coaches definitely adds color to the NCAA but more importantly than that, they're important sources of wisdom especially during crunch time.

With EA's NCAA 09 Basketball, players are finally given the chance to work with NCAA Division I coaches. They're not just there for show. Thanks to the real-time coach feedback system, a new gaming feature implemented for NCAA 09 Basketball, you can also receive critical feedback from coach and know when you're not playing by his rules and getting the best out of your team.

With their presence, you're able to maximize the strengths and minimize the weaknesses of your team. Is that great or is that great?

A More Realistic Feel
We fans want everything, don't we? We know NCAA Basketball is essentially a game and therefore it can never render real-life situations completely, but nonetheless, we still complain and demand for improvements. Thankfully, however, EA is good at listening to its customers and this time, NCAA Basketball 09 comes with a more accurate level of responsiveness.

Taking into consideration the flaws found in NBA Live 09, EA producers made sure this time reactions are more accurate when it comes to ball handling, pick-and-rolls, and even rebounding. With this, NCAA 09 BAsketball has just gotten rougher, tougher, and better!

Responsiveness hasn't been the only thing improved to add authenticity to the game. Another new feature you'll find is NCAA 09 Basketball's on-campus outdoor court practice. Can you practice outdoors and enjoy the adulation of your fellow students? Maybe...if weather permits because real-time weather conditions are also applicable to the game! Perhaps this is too much realism for you?

Scout Your Competition!
Scouting reports are still underestimated by many fans of the NCAA but its long-time devotees are aware of just how crucial scouting reports can be. EA producers know this, too, and that's why they've incorporated scouting reports in NCAA 09 Basketball with the help of the Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook.

The reports are surprisingly not run of the mill. They are impressive in the amount of data it provides as well as the accuracy of its information. They don't just give you overall impressions of your opponents, but they give you detailed reports and suggest strategies on how you can best downplay an opponent's strengths while exploiting its weaknesses.

All in all, NCAA 09 Basketball is a game that can transport real-life action to your TV screen so get your copy today!
