    Haven't seen "versimilitude" since studying Heidegger in PHI 501 back in ye ole college days.

    Anyways, now that my Kentucky Wildcats are recruiting top talent again, I might get back into these games.

    The demo was awful, as played moved so slowly and it was a broken game. I guess the final game is a bit better, but I think EA made a mistake with the demo.

    Sounds like 2k needs to bring back College Hoops series and get EA off their complacent butts.

    Always preferred college basketball vs. NBA as a sports fan. But as a video gamer, the college games never seem up to snuff.

    @NyxStele: Why do you prefer college basketball? I know people share that opinion, but I've always found college basketball and football so sloppy and uninteresting when compared to their professional counterparts. I can see the atmosphere holding some appeal, but... Just curious. :^)

    @Kobun: Part of it is the area I grew up. In Ky./In. basketball is the preferred sport to football, and college basketball is THE sport for most fans.

    For basketball, it's the tournament that really does it. Conference tournaments just for guaranteed spots into the "big dance" and then March Madness, with the single elimination games. Anyone can win, on any given day, and there's always some upsets.

    NBA, with best of 7 after best of 7, just doesn't have the same drama.

    @Kobun: As far as basketball, college level is pretty much preformed as a "team" hence the "motion offense" in this game. In the NBA it's usually get a matchup with a better guy vs a weaker guy. That and a lot of teams can offset athletes and talent with 3 pointers in the college game.

    Well this is a nice surprise. I'd love to see Unrivaled have all kinds of hidden characters NBA Jam had, but I'm betting this is a pretty bare bones arcade basketball experience. The best news is that Tecmo releasing a sports title should help pave the way for Tecmo Bowl 2010! :^) #nbaunrivaled

    In reply to NBA Live 10 and NBA 2K10: It's Fargin' War
    I'm sorry, but this is not 2K's "gala 10th anniversary year."

    Count with me, kids!

    NBA2K = #1!
    NBA2k1 = #2!
    NBA2k2 = #3!
    NBA2k3 = #4!
    ESPN NBA Basketball 2k4 = #5!
    ESPN NBA2k5 = #6!
    NBA2k6= #7!
    NBA2k7 = #8!
    NBA2k8 = #9!
    NBA2k9 = #10!
    NBA2k10 = ...gasp. #11!

    And yet, they have "10th anniversary" splashed all over the boxes. Is basic math a problem for basketball players? Or did somebody drop the ball in marketing last year and they're hoping nobody will notice this year? #nba2k10

    In west Philadelphia, born and raised
    On the Playstation was where I spent most of my days
    Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool
    And all shootin' some b-ball with friends from school

    When a couple of publishers were up to no good
    Started making trouble in my neighborhood
    They got in one little fight and my mom got scared
    She said 'You're goin'outside to play in the fresh air'

    I went out to a court but when I got near
    I saw the markings were worn and there was no gear
    If anything I can say this can't compare
    To my b-ball game. 'Yeah. I'm going back there'

    I walked up to my house it was getting late
    And I yelled to my mom 'Yo, why such a hater?'
    I got to my room
    And she was there
    Sitting on my throne playing WarioWare
