I got it. I don't like it much. I was playing a online game, up 10 in the 2nd half with a scrub team mind you(the other person was UNC) and dude ran off a 20-0 run. I was like WTF. No one on my team could make a layup the last 8 minutes. I started the "franchise" part of the game. I'm trying to recruit some hot shot center out from Cali, but he doesn't want to leave home....bastard. Oh yea, you'll get the urge to eat at Burger King....buy it and see.
It's pretty impressive. If you're looking for a college basketball game, I can't see why you wouldn't get it. The gameplay is excellent (ball physics, AI, control) and the legacy mode is deep. Online play is smooth, and the league/tourney support in ESPNVideogames.com is as good as online gaming gets (bungie.net included).
March Madness is also a really excellent game, but CH plays well online, is a bit better offline, and is half the price.
And, like jobber, I do notice the runs. I don't think that it's rubber-band logic .... it's just basketball. BBall (especially college) is a game of runs. This simulates that well.
And Burger King? LOL - it's ..... interesting. But if this is what it takes to have A+ sports games at $20, I don't have a problem with it.

last years game was extremely fun in game... no one played it online and it was very rough around the edges..
for instance the Frank Erwin Center in Texas is called the Frank Irwin Center. Not a big deal, except everyone calls it 'the FEC", its just a little detail that would be nice if they nailed down... also having our actual fight song would have been nice and maybe our actual arena was in the game since TJ ford was on the cover.

I agree, it's probably the best basketball game available at the moment. It just feels right. Players fast break (although the lead pass is almost too effective), pressing works, and you have to move the ball around to get a good shot.
The best part is that it plays well out of the box. It doesn't need massive slider tweaks like every other sporting game released this season. It's probably slightly fast, but other than that it's just fantastic.
Is there McDonalds sponsorship in March Madness? Maybe that's why

You get SPAM in your email and the espn.com recaps on your game is very detailed. Better than a Sportscenter type of recap. I just hate that my PF can't score. The runs are rediculous. I was up on VCU by 25, then they pulled a 25-3 run late in the game.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
I love it. I've yet to play online. I started a legacy with Grambling. I'm 2-7 now. Put it on the hardest level, which is MOP. I lost to TCU by 35 and Houston by 30
