NCAA Basketball 09 from EA Sports

Hey college basketball fans, Electronic Arts has shipped NCAA Basketball 09 videogame ($59.95) to retailers in North America, with former UCLA hoopster Kevin Love of the Minnesota Timberwolves gracing the cover. Hyping up the action is ESPN college basketball broadcasters Dick Vitale, Brad Nessler and Erin Andrews, while gamers can replay classic games in college basketball history in the EA SPORTS ESPN Classic Tournament of Legends, where 64 of the greatest college teams from every era go for the winning crown.

1,000 new animation sequences are said to deliver "a more responsive experience with improved ball physics and more intelligent AI"  on the new '09 version of NCAA Basketball, so you'll notice players go up and down the floor faster and get to the rim with more finesse. Xbox 360, and PLAYSTATION 3 owners should dig that. Box art, screen shots and fact sheet of NCAA Basketball 09  can be downloaded at http://info.ea.com.
