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."
