1st game. IU @ Purdue (Rivarly Game)

-Like the way the game starts where you are shooting outside and once the arena loads you can continue to shoot around. The crowd cheers whenever you make shots.

-you can pick from any arenas to play in.

-there are alternate jerseys

-i thought since they were using real coaches they'd be on the sidelines but they aren't. they are just random looking coaches

-gameplay feels just like NBA Live. you should know this though from the demo.

-Mack Arena seemed pretty dark. not sure why. I mean the lighting in the arena.

-It's good to hear Dicky V covering the game.

-Taking screens in the game is easy. just like NCAA

-replays are a little different than NCAA football because you set markers where you want vid saved and you can edit angles and all that stuff.

Is there a practice mode?

[sg_HustlinOwl]

15 man rosters, looking at Purdue's how accurate was it with their actual roster?

[sg_HustlinOwl]

• can you simulate a couple seasons and give us some impressions on the tourney, there were some concerns about RPI being out of whack
  
• some of the smaller schools having the toughest RPI in the nation
• some sliders that are fully adjustable also camera angles
• If players are allowed to leave early is it overdone?

Fred - Thanks for taking the time to answer questions and give impressions.

If you get a chance, can you please check and see if NCAA Tournament locations have been improved from last year? In MM08, tourney sites between the first round and second round games changed. (Usually from Memphis' Fed Ex Forum to a different site.) I am hoping this has been improved.

Also, does the game feature any tutorial videos for CH 2K fans to get acclimated to the new franchise?

Thanks for your time!
