Thanks - I was just about to give up hope! I figured it would just keep getting pushed back and then quietly disappear from any "coming soon" lists
edit to add: "hit store shelves on March 7". Uh-oh, that's the same day as Burnout. I might need to take the day off

Popped this in at work for a minute....possibly the worst looking 360 game to date. Why it wouldnt look as good as NBA 2K6 is beyond me. Oh well, ill get the 1000 achievements in 1 game and bring it back to work tomorrow for Ghost Recon and Burnout...woot!

If you like NBA2K6, then this is the same, with college players and worse graphics (much worse, which pains me to say, because I so wanted this game to be great with the extra time they spent on it). Why the default camera is zoomed out so much further than the default one in NBA2k6 is, is beyond mystifying, plus you can't zoom in using that camera. The players look almost blurry at that distance. I will keep it because the game still plays well, and I love college bball, so i will get my money's worth out of it, but my unsanctioned DVDTalk Video Game Forum recommendation is: rental
wonder what the heck they did wrong?
