NCAA Basketball 09

About

NCAA Basketball 09 brings college hoops to life with its straightforward simulation. Play solo, challenge friends online, or team up in split-screen matches. The game leans into the competitive side of collegiate basketball with familiar mechanics and a roster of real teams. Kevin Love graces the cover as a rising star, and the controls stick to basics without overcomplicating things. Out in 2008 on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 2, it had a split-screen mode that worked better than most of its era. Community feedback was split, some praised the local multiplayer and roster accuracy while others found the presentation flat. With a 64% on Metacritic, it’s a dated but functional entry for those into college basketball games with minimal polish.
