    In NCAA 08 March Madness’s case, an intricate post-play mechanism, online leagues and the best classic collegiate hoop teams of all time make it twisty enough for us to recommend it as a worthy upgrade to last year’s offering.

    There’s enough new in here to warrant a look at the game even if you played the last one to death. It won’t blow your socks off, but it will any aspiring collegiate hours upon hours of enjoyment.

    A run of the mill sports title.

    What was once a very good franchise is starting to become a generic rehash with a few tweaks thrown in each year to sate the need to say something new was added. Yes, it is still entertaining, but it’s not the game one would have hoped it would be.

    NCAA March Madness 08 definitely gives it the old college try and is still a solid college basketball game overall, but just the act of trying to be great isn’t good enough, particularly when there’s not much of an upgrade from its predecessor in the franchise.

    NCAA March Madness 08 has a few flaws such as some transitions of animations, easy fast break opportunities, and a few game play quirks, but nothing will distract any college fan from getting excited about the team they love.

    I will be the first to admit this game is no jaw dropper, but I will have to say it gets the job done. To me it was basically what you wouldI will be the first to admit this game is no jaw dropper, but I will have to say it gets the job done. To me it was basically what you would expect from a typical basketball game. Could EA Sports done better? The answer to that is yes. I think they should of added some stuff to the game so that it was not the typical college basketball game such as three point shoot out and the slam dunk competition. I also think this game sucks when it comes to editing players and things of that sort. The game was also in my opinion made too easy. I could play the game at the hardest level and still beat a Duke calibur team with a team like Stephen F. Austin.… Full Review »
