News: NCAA Basketball 09 at your service. PS2, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions announced.
Electronic Arts has given their annual college basketball game a new name and a new look as they announced NCAA Basketball 09 today. NCAA Basketball 09 is being developed by EA Canada and will be released on the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this Fall.
Here's what EA had to say about the game:
NCAA Basketball 09 is not just a new name; it introduces a new way to play college basketball that mirrors real life. A new, strategic gameplay feature challenges gamers to replicate their school's style of play, set the tempo and win. Whether your school plays up tempo looking to push the ball in transition, runs a half-court offense that utilizes the clock and limits possessions or features a balanced attack that combines transition offense with set plays, NCAA Basketball 09 rewards the strategic gamer and emphasizes team specific styles of play.
NCAA Basketball 09 will feature Division I coaches in-game for the first time. Each coach will provide real time instruction and feedback, helping gamers control the tempo by executing their team's offense and defense to perfection.
We'll have more soon.
