Impressive...but not a break through
User Rating: 7.9 | College Hoops 2K6 X360
NCAA 2k6 is a solid college basketball simulation but nothing spectacular. The graphics while decent are not what one would expect from a next generation title (I have taken into consideration that player likeness would be difficult considering college basketball players are still considered amatuer athletes and as such using their likenesses i.e. appearance, real names, etc. would violate all sorts of NCAA regulations). The game play is excellent, I usually use West Virginia and find that the players in the game mirror their real life counter-parts. Pittsnogle, can hit the 3 with regularity but lacks a dominating post game. Mike Gansey has a good overall game and plays tenacious defense, and Patrick Beilien is a deadly outside shooter. The only complaint I have ist that sometimes when you are up big, the AI gets a little cheap and starts making some insane shots (for intance a 3 pointer with a center with a 58 overall rating). All in all if you are a college basketball fan, you should enjoy this game.
