A new, strategic gameplay feature challenges gamers to replicate their school’s style of play, set the tempo and win.

The new animation system enables gamers to apply pressure defense with new full-court presses and traps.

Animations can be interrupted at any time, enabling you to read and respond to the action on the floor, just like real life. « less

Not anything new here. The graphics are a nice touch but the gameplay feels the same when the series was on the original xbox. I might recommend this game if your a die hard EA fan but I think I would take College Hoops 2k8 any day over this. I love EA but in my opinion they have a lot of work to do in the basketball department.
