East Coast Bias once again. There are several teams on the west coast that are tougher to play at than the Carrier Dome LMFAO or the Comcast Center. Take McArthur Court where the Ducks play or the home court of the Washington Huskies. Hell even the Pit where New Mexico could be considered tougher than some of those places. I think Air Force has one hell of a home court advantage as well.

I just get sick of EA throwing these cheap gimmicks at us without doing any research on the teams or the actual crowds. This same **** took place in NCAA football leading to the HFA gimmick for the last two years instead of focusing on game play they throw in these pointless gimmicks that will somehow effect the opposing teams ratings which is completely unrealistic. There are guys that love being the enemy and strive off of that ****.

When I was playing college ball and had to play on the road against my rivals I thrived off of having the crowd hating me! That meant they knew I was good and they had to be concerned with whether or not I was going to kill them that night! I just wish games would stick to gameplay and not force these useless gimmicks on us is all Im trying to say.

Some of the venues are tough, but I believe there are tougher places to play than a Carrier Dome or the Comcast Center which is not even the Terrapins homecourt or is it? I dont think it is but could be wrong. Allen Fieldhouse LOL Oral Roberts went in there and won this year, thus leading me to believe that teams are not as intimidated about going to play there! Again just my opinion!

I'm shocked Illinois is ranked so high, I can't wait to rent this game from gamefly, and see how it compares to Hoops 2k7. It's one of those games that could be a hit or miss imo

Bull**** that The Kohl Center isn't on their.

Badgers are what, 82-5 their under Bo Ryan?

Im a maryland fan and I think were rated a little high but yeah your right about the profanity and rowdiness. one of our fans even threw a water bottle at shelden williams mom it was pretty funny.

at our old stadium (cole field house) it was crazy hot with no air conditioning and rowdy fans, then i couldve argued for the #1 toughest place to play. but now were playing in a huge arena, air conditioned, and now the schools is making regulation on our chants there is not as much atmosphere. but its still pretty tough.

I think its a shame that Washington isnt top 5 on there...also the pound at Gonzaga should be top 10 I believe.

i would agree 100%. Following the Big 10 closely since I'm a purdue alum i always know how hard it is to play up there. Even when their team wasn't the best you were almost guaranteed to lose.

--dmull-- · 01-03-2007, 06:49 PM

Yeah, and it really pisses me off that The Breslin Center is on their, and Rupp Arena.

The Breslin Center!?!?

I mean I think the Izzone is tough and al, but c'mon, anybody can tell you The Kohl Center has become one of the worst for opposing teams in the past few years.

lol....this post is so true i graduated high school out of Cole Feild House that place used to get crazy

Not one of the toughest places to play now but maybe the funniest....F Duke chat gets wild....they research the best players and make some joke out of something in their past

like the t shirt says The Good (MD), The Bad (UNC), and the Ugly (DUKE)
