This is a good start for EA with the MM franchise. Although it has some issues, it is still fun to play.
--Graphics are outstanding. The arenas are alive, the scoreboards work, the crowd reacts intelligently and the player models are solid.
--Atmosphere -- This game definitely captures the atmosphere of college hoops.
--Teams -- Every 1-A team is in the game
--C.A.P. -- Ability to customize player faces (i.e. Tiger Woods) is excellent.
--Animations are smooth
--Game modes -- Pre-season and post-season NIT and NCAA tourneys and a deep dynasty
--Addition of names catelog (ala 2K) makes naming players easy
Cons:
--Frame rate -- I don't care what producers at EA say, 30 FPS sucks. It makes the game appear herky, jerky at times.
--Fouls -- I like strategizing with players in foul trouble but way too many fouls called, even at the lowest settings
--Need more hair options in CAP
--A.I. needs a little work but still a very challenging one-player experience
