From the pre-season to the post-season NIT (National Invitation Tournament), the Old Spice Classic, and more, there are now five tourneys to pick from in addition to the season-closing 65-team bracket. The new Set the Tempo feature adds a cool dimension to strategizing. Heading into each game you can choose what style of play you'd like to install. Pick an up-tempo attack and feed off of traps and presses for easy baskets. Select a balanced attack and alternate between attacking or walking it up the court. For the Rick Carlisle gamers out there, you can also select a half court game plan, which basically means never run and always try to use 34.5 seconds on the shot clock.
Once again, EA delivers a dynamic set of post game moves. Dump the ball in to your big man and go to town. Button tapping nets up-and-unders and pump fakes; trigger buttons unleash drop steps; and the right directional stick offers up an assortment of spin moves. Just don't lean on the turbo button on the blocks, you'll rack up a charge almost every time. Enjoy a brush with greatness in the ESPN Classic Tournament of Legends. Pick and choose from 64 of the greatest college hoops teams of all-time. Climb the Pyramid of Success with Wooden's dominant UCLA teams, grab a towel and start gnawing with the '91 Runnin' Rebels, or grab 2008 hero Mario Chalmers and see how last year's champs hold up against other title winners. The shooting and speed here for both your players and the computer AI is a step above what you'll find anywhere else in the game.
Online trash-talking should reach new levels this year with the Rival Challenge. Instead of hunting endlessly for a formidable foe online, simply let the game search out your team's long-time rivals and conference opponents. Settling for just two regular season Duke-UNC clashes a year is a thing of the past. The crowd gets our vote for sixth man of the year. As the game unfolds, enjoy chants and reactionary cheering. In crunch time, watch as the fans' body movements mirror the action on the court, including the first few rows using body English to influence long-range shots.
