Still THE standout out of the litter; but . . .
User Rating: 7.9 | College Hoops 2K7 PS3
First things first. College Hoops 2k7 looks great! It truly keeps pace with its pro-league older brother (NBA 2k7). They do 1 helluva job with the player models & not infringing on the NBA's claim to player likenesses. It truly does maintain that whole college vibe (shoutout to my alma mater Pitt!!). Ok, now, on to the real. Maybe I'm nitpicking, but, when playing this game AFTER having played the pro version, this feels almost like a left-handed game (no disrespect to the southpaws of the world). The controls are almost completely different, creating a longer-than-necessary learning curve. True, college & pro hoops are 2 separate monsters; but, it shouldn't feel like the difference between american football & soccer. The experience with this game will differ, if you do NOT already own the NBA 2k7. Then, everything will be straight up, instead of having to de-program what you know about the pro version. Otherwise, this is a great game. I thought this review was written by me sooner, considering the fact that I bought this game day 1. But, oh well. I wouldn't trade this in, despite the brain-flip to play this. Especially, considering this is 1 of the best games on PS3 to this date.
