New York, NY – October 30, 2007 – 2K Sports, the sports publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), announced more exciting new features for College Hoops 2K8, the #1 selling college basketball game last year* and the #1 rated college basketball game five years running**.
New to this year’s edition of the 2K Sports’ College Hoops series is PlayVision, allowing gamers to execute every play on the court to perfection. PlayVision draws out each play step-by-step, detailing where on the court to pass, move, and watch for a screen. Each step of the play is illustrated with a different graphic, making plays easy to execute with accuracy and precision. PlayVision also works when playing with two or more people on the same team by indicating where the gamers need to set up their players to execute the play.
“Among many other exciting new features this year, we focused on making plays easier to execute while also adding the ability to create your own types of plays. PlayVision and Play Designer work hand-in-hand to allow gamers to learn the fundamental movements of basketball plays and in turn enable users to get a much more realistic college basketball experience,” said Greg Thomas, President of Visual Concepts, a 2K Sports studio.
With the all new Play Designer, gamers can create their own plays from beginning to end and customize their playbook. Gamers can determine where their players begin a play, tell each player what to do using numerous moves, and then bring in various types of defenses to test their plays against. Once created in Play Designer, any play can be executed during a game and seen on the court with PlayVision.
College Hoops 2K8, the best selling college basketball video game this past year* and best rated college basketball game for five years running**, returns this year with the deepest feature enhancements in the history of the franchise, advanced next generation visuals and countless new animations to deliver the most innovative and authentic college basketball video game experience to date.
College Hoops 2K8 will be available this fall for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system.

IGN has posted a College Hoops 2K8 preview . So far I like what I've read. The game sounds as deep as ever and they really kicked up the college atmosphere as well. They also mentioned how you can actually make halftime adjustments and what not as well. You know, one of the reasons why I personally like the CH2K series better is because of the fact they seem to build on the current years NBA 2K series and add more features.
"We're still two weeks away from the start of college basketball season, but you can feel the change in the air on college campuses around the country: students are getting ready to cram themselves into arenas, paint their bodies and rock the stands till the floors vibrate for their favorite teams. The faithful know that their every cheer could give the guys on the court that extra edge to win a game, cause an upset, and eventually propel their alma mater to the Big Dance. Capitalizing on this swelling of school spirit, 2K Sports will soon release their latest installment of their college basketball franchise, College Hoops 2K8, and this year, the fans in the stands have a larger role than ever before.
2K8 introduces the concept of the 6th Man Advantage, which revolves around the home crowd lending a brand new meaning to the term "Home Court Advantage." Ever seen the Cameron Crazies tear the roof off Cameron Indoor Stadium? Hear Rupp Arena erupt after the Big K cheer? Felt LSU make the stands vibrate in the Maravich center? If you've ever been in the building of your favorite team's arena, you know how insane the vibe can be. 6th Man is seeking to replicate this feeling, with the crowd getting amped by great play for the home team, such as blocks, steals and monster jams. If you manage to completely boost the home crowd for long enough, their energy will bolster your team's confidence and energy levels, making shots much easier to knock down. You can extend these effects by continuing to make great offensive and defensive plays, but you have to be careful - one turnover or foul can potentially decrease the crowd's enthusiasm significantly."
