NCAA Basketball 09 Hits Stores December 2, 2008

I love sports but I must admit that I do not normally play basketball video games (I typically stick to hockey).  However, this game, NCAA Basketball 09, which is being released just in time for the holidays, looks like something I’d be willing to try. 

I love the fact that the player goes through an authentic process from being in a Division 1 team to receiving scouting reports.  You can even choose a pre-game strategy to control the style of play you use.  Coaches even provide feedback in real-time.

EA wanted to make the game more realistic so they have improved the arenas and mascots, included both classic and alternate uniforms and have added in-game commentary and analysis.  It’s just like being in the game in real life!

Rated "E" for Everyone and retails for $49.99.
