So what does everyone think about College Hoops for the 360?

I love it, I think it's better than the PS2 version of '06. There seems to be a lot less fouls called than the PS2 Copy. Are you guys enjoying the game?

I'm loving the new edition. I had been playing the original Xbox version since November, and just started a new dynasty this past weekend.

The 360 version is improved over the regular Xbox version, but only in small 'tweaked' ways. Here's what I've noticed so far:

1. The game has been slowed down, somewhat, making it 'feel' more like college basketball (at least in my opinion). It takes some getting used to, but I think it's an improvement.

2. If your coach's name is a normal name, the announcers now say 'Coach Johnson', or whatever, instead of just saying 'the Charleston Southern Coach'.

3. If you play with a major conference team, the school's fight song is correct, at least for Alabama and some other schools I've tried.

4. Previously, you could send up to 5 emails to a recruit in a given week. That's been changed to only 1 email per week. It really helps to reduce the recruiting load during the season.

5. The game presentation has been improved, with much more detail. The players show sweat, their uniforms actually 'ripple' as they run, and during replays, you can sometimes see the NCAA logo on the ball.

I'm sure there are other changes, but that's all I remember for now.

I might actually buy this tomorrow because I need another game to test out my 360 with before the warranty expires.

My only knock on the game is that they didn't put Boomer Sooner in the game. That's a slap in the face.
