College Hoops 2K5 goes gold

By Tim Surette, GameSpotPosted Nov 12, 2004 12:40 pm PT

ESPN's college basketball game dribbles into the factory and will be ready to take to the court on November 17.

March Madness will be in full force in November for Xbox and PlayStation 2 owners. ESPN Videogames today announced that ESPN College Hoops 2K5 has gone gold and will be ready to play on November 17. The sophomore entry in the ESPN-branded college basketball series continues copublishers Take-Two and Sega's price-slashing scheme, and will sell for $19.99.

Like the ESPN NBA 2K5 series, College Hoops 2K5 was developed by Visual Concepts and it sports the studio's acclaimed graphics engine. New features include the "pass-n-go" system, which allows players to execute give-and-go or alley-oop passes; the legacy mode, which puts gamers in the shoes of a coach as he deals with offseason concerns, such as recruiting and scouting; and the coach mode, which lets users influence the on-court action by calling plays and making key decisions from the sidelines. Commentary from real-life ESPN personalities Jay Bilas and Mike Patrick will also be featured in the game. ESPN College Hoops 2K5 is rated E.
