The Greatest College Basketball Game of All Time

[@WillEvans15]

I can remember scouting a freshman all the way to his senior year, bringing him to my team (Illinois) then playing with him for 3yrs and he entered the draft.... The real bang of this story is I uploaded him on NBA 2k8 and at the end of my season Drafted him to my team again the Bulls! Played 16yrs with him....

I remember scouting a 5 Star, 5”9, HS freshman from my home state (WA). I was fully invested in this recruit, I just had a feeling he was going to be a beast. I was hoping he’d get taller and become an All American. But by the time his senior year came around, he dropped down to a 3 star and he never grew any taller. I still gave him a full ride (University of Washington), where he would end up dropping BUCKETS on his opponents. Kind of reminds me of an Isaiah Thomas story. It’s like 2k8 knew! I had the time of my life. I’ll never forget.And that’s why this game is arguably the GOAT in sports videogames history.

Turned Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Boise State, Ohio and Sacramento State into mid level powers; Ohio even sprung a tourney upset on UNC. Portland won a national title. San Francisco made an Elite 8 DePaul won something like 74 games in a three year period but lost each time they made the Elite 8. Northwestern started a rivalry with Duke. Maine and New Hampshire became two of the best teams in the country. And the funniest thing i can remember: Siena won 28 games and didn't make it out of the first day. I want this game back so bad.

I used to play career legacy and to try build a small school up to a powerhouse. When I first started those runs, playing as a tiny program away against a heavyweight like Duke was so god damn difficult. I never felt like it was unfair or the game was cheating though. The 6th man feature made every possession count and I still enjoyed knowing that while I probably wouldn't win, I could fight to keep it close. Once you got to be a big school though, that same 6th man meter could lead to upsets away against smaller schools. That game never got boring. The way you could scout players and even control them in ABL games to get a feel for their game was fun. The cherry on top was the presentation, I'd sit through all the weekly highlights and selection show for march madness' brackets.

I totally disagree, when it came to college games NOBODY gave a shit about player likeness. It was all about the dynasty and program tradition.

[@Antbeast23]

Recruiting was always hard for me in this game. But the historic roster and legacy mode and ncaa tournament brought amazing content. I loved the 2k pre game shows too

[@EATSLEEPFARM]

I have probably poured weeks of my life into this game. The franchise mode was so freakin deep. Why they thought to go the opposite as time went on I’ll never know. Oh yea online....

[@bigdaddysizzleify]

It wasn't online's fault. This game was online. It was microtransactions.

Best ncaa game ever in my opinion, they didn’t miss any details with this game. Every game short changes you in some way nowadays but this game was complete! Keep doing what you’re doing man.

What if the people who make maximum football hired more people and made a college basketball game

[@marcuswolfer9770]

Have u played maximum? It’s gameplay is terrible

[@ocbee6175]

Marcus Wolfer they have 3 people and no funding, that’s why

[@jamesonhills266]

they probably would do that👍

[@rosecoloredglass1917]

Alright so. Is there a big difference between the PS2/Xbox and Xbox 360/PS3 versions? If so which is better?

[@drstevens16]

Idk why it would matter for them to use players that arent accurate to the real players if you can just download a custom roster anyways.

[@Rentzo888]

Actually you can with a USB drive on 360 or ps3

[@joelandobutterfield350]
