This game only deserves a 4 out of 5 stars because of its lack of great game play One of the great things about this game is the game play, it is smooth, exciting, and realistic. Unlike past years, you actually have to fight your way to win, exercising your true skill. The coaching abilities are also great. At half time you get a set of notes that you can use to help improve your game. In Legacy mode the recruiting is state of the art, and fun to use. There are also weekly tv reports that make the game even more realistic. With a half time report and post game show there is much potential for this to be the best NCAA b-ball game this year. The only bad things about this game are the thousands of turnovers that happen in a game, and the shots that are missed when they shouldn't be. Other than that, if you want a crowd cheering, testosterone filled game with dunks and alleys, then this is your game.Read full review
This game is flat out the best college basketball game available. EA sports just can't cut it when it comes to basketball the way 2K sports can. Initially, I was waiting for College Hoops 2K9 to be released, but when I read that EA Sports bought NCAA rights, I was severley dissappointed and immediately went in search for 2K8. Game Play is smooth, no glitches, realistic player movement and reaction. Deep fantasy career mode, true to life team rankings, and hundreds of alternate game options, from tourneys, drills, and seasons, all the way to create a play, player, chant, or school. Well worth the purchase!
I'm a huge NCAA Basketball fan and it's so much better and way more exciting than the NBA. College Hoops 2K8 was the last version 2K Sports will be making for college basketball and it's a shame because the series just kept getting better. 2K8 is very addicting, especially with the 2K Share option where you can download updated rosters and other files. The new NCAA Basketball series by EA Sports began this year and their beginning title is nowhere near as good as College Hoops 2K8. The graphics may be a little better than 2K's offering, but the gameplay is world's ahead on the 2K side. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because 2K could have done a little better on the graphics (especially the players faces) and a couple minor glitches in the game, but they aren't really anything to worry about because this game is really solid and you better grab a copy before they all get gone!Read full review
The best college hoops game period. The arenas, the student fans, the atmosphere, the presentation, even the gameplay make this game amazing to revisit after all these years. They need to find a way to get the license to make an up to date one for the PS5 and Xbox Series X. 2K knew how to make college hoops just right. Even after all these years the gameplay is still pretty good. Well worth picking this up!

If you’re a college basketball fan then this game is the pinnacle of gaming (partly because this was the last one—ever). The student sections come to life and every last particular + unique feature of the campus arenas is captured. The legacy mode is incredible as it captures the realism of recruiting battles and the process of a coach’s growth. The best.
