If there is interest for a small league, I'll be using Michigan :p
 
Even if it's a handful of us, I think a tiny league could be fun (and fast). With all the quality non-sports games out now, league games are the only reason to take a break from GTA, Halo 2 and MGS3 :D
 
I just got it today...I'm down for a small league.

I call the Houston Cougars :P
 
Its pretty decent..except the ft system sucks all sorts of sh*t ...I cant make one :(
 
Yea,but add up all that and I've spent 60 bucks on ESPN titles that were all crap,so why go ahead and waste another 20?
 
WOW. The espn.com news on the legacy part of the game is worth the $20. After each game, it's a 8-12 page report on your game and a video highlight. I hope this makes it in next year batch of games.
 
Are there any openings yet?

I've been busy as hell the last few days so I won't have an opportunity to pick up this game till tonight. But I want to get into the league so this'll decide if I buy the game or not.
 
GG's Jobber...It was unfair of me to use the Longhorns the first game....much better second game.
 
:lol

I have no idea why I picked that Lamar team in that game I just lost against you...I think I'll stick to playing with my Cougars.
 
Dm what happened? I was at the ft line and everything froze :( UNLV close to losing to the Cougars "MEOW!!!"

That was BS at the end, I had 10 pts taken away because your team used the Hack-A-DM strategy :(

Like 5 straight shots turned into 10 missed FTs by my crappy big men :(
 
I dont understand why my players were hacking so much in the paint :\ Not my fault you were missing ft's...I missed atleast 5 myself :P I hardly even went to the line...thank god :D
 
Close to the end of the game I remembered you sucked ass at FTs so I tried Hack-A-Matrix but then I remembered I need like 938423948239 Team Fouls to get that far :lol
 
Did you guys start the league? I'm guessing not, because this thread went silent. Is the game much better than 2K5? I don't follow college basketball, and the game's not even supposed to be sold in my country :lol But I can't go without a good hoops game.
 
ESPN CH 2K5 is a fantastic game that every basketball fan must have. I like ESPN NBA 2K5, but this CH game improves on its pro counterpart in every way. Nowadays I find it tough to even go back to playing NBA 2K5 again.

I don't think I can commit to a full season now, but definitely count me in for a tourney if one will be held. And I'm always down for random online games. My gamertag is the same as it ever was.

Now don't take me out of context. I said I like ESPN NBA 2K5. It's a good game. Not a great game, but solid nonetheless. The problems I notice this game has is lack of shooting fouls (due to next reason) called and reaching in fouls called, a ballhandlers movement and unaffected momentum after drawing contact against defensive players in traffic whenever driving to the basket, still too easy to block shots without drawing fouls controlling players who aren't shotblocking specialists, all the hyper-speed movement of defensive players whenever traps and double teams are called, plus various bugs/glitches. CH 2K5 tends to all this stuff and more, including better executed fast breaks and transition game. It's better than NBA in every aspect of basketball gaming.

No we never started the league...Konex should just make a tourney.
 
Wait a few days if you're going to start something....I didn't find it at the store yesterday, but I'm going back out tomorrow to look at some other places.
 
I don't follow college hoops, but I'd probably take Indiana (that's where half my folks are from) or Maryland (the other half) :D
 
Someone play me in a game damnit...I just pwned some bitch who just drove to the hole by throwin deep passes and constantly causin me to foul him,lame game,but I won it. :D

It's definitely better than NBA,but Ill have to play a few more before I go on about it bein the best thing ever ;)
 
Ram,I'll play you a quick game now....keep in mind the Houston Cougars are f-ing terrible.

I'll be online,just send me a game invite if you want to play.
 
Well me and Matrix just had a double OT game,I was the Cats and he was the Cougs...I'd say we missed about 15 layups/wide open under the goal shots,no shit.My team couldn't shoot for shit at times,then all of a sudden the hand of God was put upon us and we shot the lights out,then dead again,then on fire again! :lol

Whatever,not to mention anytime someone goes down low its pretty much a guranteed foul if you try to contest the shot.

So,it's better than NBA,but thats still not sayin much.How the fuck do you back people down and hopstep with the default control scheme?
 
Man this games just as big of a fuckin joke as NBA.

All it boils down to is whose the better fast break runner and gets the most foul shots.You can't contest a fuckin shot down low without being called on a foul.The outside game is just as random and inconsistent as NBA,rebounding on free throws makes absolutely no fuckin sense,both of my guys will be in position and the ball falls in front of them yet the dude behind them grabs it,I've never seen this many off. rebounds on free throws in my life.The game still has that stupid ass running steal animation from last years NBA game,making passing the ball a bitch if you play someone who knows how to do it.

Whatever,I knew this crap wouldn't be any better,ugh.

-edit-

Big men still run away from the paint as well -_-
 
Yea dude,save your money,it was an early Christmas gift from my bro or I'd be pissed that I wasted another 20 bucks.
 
Big men still run away from the paint as well -_-
Oh man, that shit is ridiculous. When I play NBA, I have to call the same stupid post play whenever I want my bigs to stay in the paint.
 
Well, I got it. The cheap price suckered me in yet again, and the fact that I was Christmas shopping....with about 6 bags (for other people) at the time only made me want to treat myself more. Oh well, I'm sure I'll get something out of it.
