I've been a big fan of the 2K College Hoops series and always wondered if the March Madness series improved. Well, that's a big understatement! They both have a different feel which is awesome. This game will totally immerse you in it. I look forward to trying all the modes! Just playing Exhibition games have been a blast. I may look to get '09 too! So both series are great and if you're a diehard NCAA hoops fan, you can't go wrong here.

As a big dynasty guy I love this version. MM08 and MM09 each had flaws I did not liek about it that MM07 doesn not have. In MM08 you can't do as much with create a player which I love to create a 99 superstar and throw him on awful teams to see what he can do with them. In 07 you can do it and in 08 you can only add a set more amount of points to a generic setup depending on the position. They bring it back in 09 but my main dislike in 09 is the dynasty mode. The new calendar/schedule is incovenient. Instead of showing a big team picture and "Next game against so and so" and the team's record it's a ticket stub and you can barely see the icon of the team you are playing against. So you barely get an idea of who you're palying and you have to leave the calendar to check the team's record. Not the biggest deal but after doing 30 years of a dynasty and having to do that every game it gets very annoying. March Madness 07 shows the teams picture clearly and shows the title and shows their record. Recruiting is overall solid in the game and uses the pipeline system very well to help recruiting if your a smaller school and rewards you for staying close to home with recruits. Game play is still very good and it has the impact moments which i don't remember being there in 08/09 maybe in 08. All in all i still like 07 much better then 08/09 and I hope that in MM10 they continue to make the gameplay on the court even better and more realistic than before but htey keep the dynasty mode simple and user friendly. One cool feature that they should do is a superstar mode like they do in NCAA football games.Read full review
Well NCAA 07 March Madness is what you'll be expecting for all you NBA LIVE Fans. The graphics are normal to those of a 07' sports game and gameplay very similar to that of NBA LIVE 07. Includes all tourney brackets and an in depth scouting feature which is great for the college fan. Well worth it plus you can get your hands on it for $10 or less. All around great deal!
You can recruit real highschool players in this game. All the highschool players names, stats, hometowns, etc. make this game so cool. Dicky V sounds just like the real thing. And the courts are beautiful. Too bad the college players can't have real names, but they do have the actual numbers and the actual look. For example, Florida Gators SF is #2 with a head band that looks just like Corey Brewer. They did not get Joakim Noah fro though. Also could of used a better cover.
i got this game,i was a big fan of the ncaa march madness on the xbox,04,05 and 06,and i thought that was a easy purchase...and i played it,it was ok,but i didn't seem to get into it as much as the others...i play with the sideline view,and you can't zoom in close to the players,and when i played with the sideline view and zoomed all the way,the players still looked small. this hurt the gameplay for me,the graphics are awesome and so is the sounds,but it seemed to have a arcade feel to it sometimes more then a basketball sim.... a good game,but the gameplay could have been a little better,i'm a little disappointed in this one,i think i'll stick to the other three xbox ones and hope 2008 is better. i recommended renting or at least trying a demo of some format before purchaseing.
i really like college basketball. so if you like college basketball, i would really recommend it. the gameplay is really smooth. the dynasty mode is awesome. there is a period where you figure out the controls for a while but after that you pick it up real smooth. i really really like the pro hop/power dribble action. you press y and you do a pro hop into a lay up or dunk, which is really cool. however, the power dribble is possibly my favorite move. power dribble + big man down low + fade away jumper in the paint = automatic 2-pointer. definitely a title you should pick up if you enjoy both nba and college basketball.
By far the best basketball sim on the 360 to date. Although, the commentary is a bit annoying *wink.....i have a few complaints on recruits ...sometimes they just simply disappear lol. But all in all a much better game then NBA Live love the atmosphere. March Madness is better than the collage hoops the way the fans get like after they score is the real deal.
The game is real realistic. The gameply is good and the schools courts are awsome and look just like they do on tv and in person! Easy controls and i like the shoot around while the game loads. Awsome features. The only problem with the game that i have came across is the free throws are a little difficult. Other than that it is an exceptional game!
Great game for the $. Endless fun and tons of teams!!
